Toyota Fortuner has always been the king of SUVs in India. Known for its bold design, strong off-road ability, and Toyota reliability, the Fortuner has ruled the premium SUV market for years. Now, the Toyota Fortuner 2025 is all set to bring fresh updates. The new model will get modern design elements, better technology, and more powerful engines. Fortuner buyers love it for its commanding road presence and luxury feel, and the 2025 version is expected to improve on all these fronts.
Exterior Design
The Toyota Fortuner 2025 will come with a sharper and bolder design. Expect a redesigned front grille, updated LED headlamps, and a muscular bumper for a stronger road presence. The SUV will continue to have large 18 to 20-inch alloy wheels, wide wheel arches, and chrome highlights for a premium touch. At the rear, connected LED tail lamps and a sporty bumper are expected. Toyota is likely to keep the Fortuner’s aggressive stance intact while adding modern styling touches.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the Fortuner 2025 will be more premium and comfortable. The cabin is expected to get a dual-tone finish with soft-touch materials and ventilated leather seats. Features like a large 12-inch infotainment system with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, a digital driver display, JBL premium speakers, and a panoramic sunroof will be offered. The SUV will also have a 3-row seating layout with more legroom and adjustable seats for long journeys. Toyota will focus on giving Fortuner a luxury SUV feel for Indian families.
Engine and Performance
Toyota Fortuner 2025 is expected to get multiple engine options. A 2.8-litre diesel engine with 204 bhp and a 2.7-litre petrol engine with 166 bhp will continue, but with improved efficiency. Toyota may also introduce a mild-hybrid diesel engine for better mileage and reduced emissions. Transmission choices will include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Fortuner will also offer 4×2 and 4×4 drive options with driving modes for city, eco, and off-road. Its off-road capability remains one of the best in its class.
Mileage (Expected)
Mileage is always an important factor for Indian buyers. The petrol variant of Fortuner 2025 is expected to deliver around 10–12 km/l, while the diesel version could offer 12–15 km/l depending on manual or automatic transmission. With Toyota possibly bringing in hybrid technology, mileage figures may improve further, making the Fortuner more fuel-efficient.
Safety Features
Toyota has always prioritized safety in the Fortuner. The 2025 version is expected to get 7 airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, hill assist, and stability control as standard. Advanced safety features like a 360-degree camera, blind-spot detection, ADAS (lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic braking), and front/rear parking sensors will also be added. Toyota will ensure that Fortuner 2025 continues its reputation as one of the safest large SUVs in India.
