The Toyota Fortuner 2025 has come with huge updates and futuristic technology, which will transport the most admired premium SUV in the country to an all new realm. Renowned for its go-anywhere capability and expansive commanding view, the new Fortuner debuts a more muscular aesthetic while injecting a more premium feel to its appearance, highlighted by such elements as the new hybrid power unit, bolder lines, and improved safety features—qualities that make it more attractive both for urban driving and trailblazing.
Bold Design Updates
The Fortuner 2025 receives a more aggressive design with a bigger mesh design grille, full-LED headlamps flanking sleek DRLs and massive bumper that adds muscle. The side profile is quite familiar though it gets fresh diamond-cut alloy wheels, and fresh body lines that lend it a sportier stance.
The high-mounted LED taillights and the presence of sculpting on the tailgate complete the look from the rear, adding a modern touch. There are also new colour options and dual-tone schemes, adding to its premium feel.
New, More Ready Powertrain
An important feature of the 2025 Fortuner is the debut of a mild-hybrid diesel. The 48V hybrid system works seamlessly with the proven 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine, providing smoother power delivery and improved fuel efficiency.
Diesel Hybrid: 2. 8 in-line 16valve DOHC TD engine, Euro II 3.
- 2.7L petrol engine with 166 PS and 245 Nm torque.
- Gearboxes: Stick shift and Automatic 6-speeds
- Mileage: 16–18 km/l (diesel hybrid), 12–14 km/l (petrol)
The hybrid tech also enables a smoother engine start/stop, better acceleration, and lower emissions—so it’s future-proofed without sacrificing any of its go-anywhere performance DNA.
Off-Road Ready
Fortuner’s renowned off-road prowess is retained, and now available with even more smarts:
Both part-time and full-time 4WD available
- Hill-start assist and down-hill control
- Multi-mode driving selections (Sand, Mud, Rock)
- Which is the next available step (after the diffs/TC) where one can be run when not under load?
- Enhanced ground clearance and water wading capability
In city potholes and mountain single tracks – the Fortuner can traverse them both with equal ease and is as much of an all-rounder as you can get in an SUV.
High-Level Interiors with Even More Tech
