Two distinct engine-and-drivetrain identities exist under the Fortuner nameplate for 2026: a petrol automatic that is rear-wheel drive only, and a diesel that spans manual and automatic gearboxes across both 4x2 and 4x4 layouts. The 2.7-litre turbo-petrol makes 166hp at 3000-3400rpm and 245Nm, paired exclusively with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The 2.8-litre diesel makes 204hp and up to 500Nm at 1600-2800rpm, offered with either a manual or an automatic gearbox across 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrain layouts, with a 48V mild-hybrid system fitted on select variants further up the range.

These mechanical differences don't show up in the sheet metal: the SUV measures 4,795mm long, 1,855mm wide and 1,835mm tall, on a 2,745mm wheelbase with 225mm of ground clearance, figures that carry through from the base model to the top variant with only wheel size changing across the lineup. Seating stretches to seven across three rows, cargo space is rated at 296 litres, and the fuel tank holds 80 litres regardless of engine choice.

Safety equipment includes 7 airbags, seatbelt warning, child lock and ISOFIX anchor points as standard, alongside high beam assist, driver attention warning and traffic sign recognition. Buyers cross-shopping other body-on-frame SUVs should check whether rivals match this level of standard airbag count and driver-assist tech before comparing price.

Fortuner is always king for everything.

Fortuner is known for its reliability and resale value, making it a great long-term investment, especially for highway driving. It has a commanding presence and is quite comfortable for long trips too. If comfort and resale value are your top priorities, Fortuner might be your go-to.

The Toyota Fortuner 4x2 Diesel Automatic is an excellent choice if you prefer a more rugged SUV with a commanding road presence.

Personally, I found the Fortuner to have a more old-school driving character. It didn’t feel as responsive as I expected, especially from a standstill, and I wasn’t convinced it justified a price tag of around ₹50 lakh.

If you want a car that can cover any terrain with a big image but less comfort, go for the Fortuner. It's suitable for hills, rocky and muddy terrains.

i am toyota user since 2008 and resale value of toyota is best in every class. sold fortuner 2017 at depreciation of just 14 lacs after 9 years which is monthly depreciation of only 13000 per month for such a big vehicle. incredible value retention

in fortuner there are no features and no comfort. very bouncy in second row due to ladder frame chassis. not the right choice if comfort and features matter to you

Hi Autocar! I want to buy the Toyota Fortuner Legender 4x2 and was initially planning to purchase it in February 2027. However, there are reports that a new version of the Fortuner could launch in late 2026 or early 2027. When should I book the current-generation Fortuner so that I can avoid buying the facelifted version?

•1d

If you want to buy the current Toyota Fortuner Legender 4x2 and avoid the new generation, the best approach is to bring your purchase forward rather than delay it. The new Fortuner is expected in late 2026 or early 2027, and Toyota typically manages inventory carefully around a major model change. If you wait until February 2027, you risk being caught in the transition period when the new model arrives, and the current generation is phased out.The safest window is to book the car in the second half of 2026, ideally between July and October. This gives you a strong chance of securing a current-generation car while production is still running and before dealers start winding down stock. If you are set on the current model, it is better to buy a few months earlier than planned rather than risk missing out altogether.

I do a lot of highway driving and need a balance of power and comfort. I am unable to decide within a budget range of Rs. 30-35 lakh. However, I am tempted to pick up a second-hand Toyota Fortuner. What are the available options?

For heavy highway use with a budget of Rs 30-35 lakh, the Mahindra XUV 7XO diesel is the best fit. It offers strong performance, excellent ride comfort and a very stable high-speed touring experience, which is exactly what you need for long highway runs. The diesel engine is powerful and efficient, and the car feels planted and confidence-inspiring at speed. It also offers a good balance of features and safety for the price.The Toyota Fortuner is a great car, but at Rs 30-35 lakh you are looking at a used car that is already a few years old. The Fortuner’s biggest strength is its reliability and ruggedness, but it is not as refined or as comfortable as the XUV 7XO on long highway drives. The ride is firm, the cabin is not as modern, and you are paying a premium for the Toyota badge and reliability rather than getting the best ownership experience for your money.If you want something more premium, the Skoda Kodiaq is worth considering. It is a very comfortable and refined highway car with a strong petrol engine and a premium cabin, but it exceeds budget and does not offer the same diesel efficiency as the XUV 7XO.Overall, the XUV 7XO diesel is the best balance of power, comfort and value for your budget. It is a new car with a full warranty, excellent highway manners and a very strong ownership proposition.

New Mini Countryman: 1.5L, 3-cylinder at ~₹57 lakh and having power = Creta. Why Fortuner gets called overpriced for a 2.8L engine at similar money. Thoughts?

Hi, I have a budget of Rs. 40 lakh and am confused between the Skoda Kodiaq Lounge, the Toyota Innova Hycross ZX(O), and the Toyota Fortuner Petrol. I am 28 years old and want a car that is fun to drive but also comfortable for my family. My driving will be split 80:20 between on-road and off-road use.

Pick the Innova HyCross ZX(O). For a hard Rs. 40 lakh cap it fits cleanly, it is the most comfortable and spacious for family, and it is far easier to live with daily. The smooth hybrid makes city drives effortless and quiet, and on broken roads, it just takes the abuse without rattling everyone. Your 20 percent off-road sounds like rough trails rather than rock crawling, and the HyCross will handle that sort of bad-road stuff better than you expect. But, the Innova isn't particularly fun to drive.If you really crave driver fun, the Kodiaq is the one that puts a smile on your face. This Skoda car has a 2-litre turbo petrol and AWD make it genuinely enjoyable on highways and hills, and the cabin feels richer. Two catches, though. It likely stretches past Rs. 40 lakh on-road in most cities, and its third row is tighter, and you have to be a bit careful off the beaten path.The Fortuner petrol is the most capable off-road, but for 80 per cent on-road use, it feels heavy and bouncy, the steering is not friendly in town, and it guzzles fuel.
