New Exterior Design with Strong Look
If the first glimpse of a vehicle impresses people, then understand that the vehicle is something special. The new design of 2025 Fortuner is a great example of that.
This time the front of the Fortuner has been completely redesigned. The new large chrome grille, thin and sharp LED headlamps, and sporty bumper give it an aggressive and powerful look. The daytime running lights (DRLs) are now even sharper, giving it a futuristic touch.
The side profile makes this SUV look even more rugged due to 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, wide wheel arches and strong lines. Looking at the rear, the new C-shaped LED taillights, revised tailgate and new bumper design give the vehicle a premium feel.
This time Toyota has also introduced two dual-tone color options and new colors with matte finish which give it an expensive car look. Whether you drive in the city or on the sand, this car will grab everyone’s attention.
Premium Look and Next Generation Features in the Interior
As soon as you sit inside this car, you get the feeling of a luxury car. The design of the dashboard has now become even better and modern.
The new 10.1-inch touchscreen now supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Its user interface is very smooth and user-friendly, which means that now it has become even easier to operate the features of the car.
Toyota has covered the seats with ventilated leather, so that driving remains comfortable even in summer. Apart from this, the use of ambient lighting, digital driver display and soft-touch materials in the cabin gives it a luxury feel.
Now the rear seats have also been given more legroom, and they can also be reclined. This SUV is still a three-row, which means it is perfect for a large family or long trips.
Powerful Engine and Smart Technology
The Fortuner 2025 comes in both petrol and diesel variants. The petrol version gets a 2.7-litre engine while the diesel version has a 2.8-litre engine. The special thing is that the diesel engine has been made even more powerful and smoother. This engine generates 200+ horsepower and 500Nm of torque, making it one of the most powerful vehicles in its segment.
Now it also has the option of drive modes – Sport, Normal and Eco – which adjust the performance according to your driving conditions. Its top variants also have a 4×4 system which understands the roads with the help of advanced sensors and responds accordingly.
Talking about the gearbox, it has a 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission option which gives a smooth and responsive driving experience. The suspension has also been retuned so that there is less shock even on bad roads and the ride is comfortable.

Mileage and Fuel Efficiency
Despite being such a powerful SUV, Toyota has also taken care of mileage. The mileage of the diesel version is around 14-15 kmpl, while the petrol version gives up to 10-12 kmpl.
The reason behind this is the tuning of the new engine and the use of a lighter body, due to which the Fortuner 2025 gives slightly more mileage than the previous model.
Luxury SUV at an Affordable Price
The biggest surprise is its price. The 2025 Toyota Fortuner has a starting ex-showroom price of ₹ 32.99 lakh for the base petrol variant. At the same time, its top-end diesel 4×4 automatic variant goes up to ₹ 41.49 lakh.
These prices may seem expensive to some people, but when you look at its features, technology, safety and brand value, these prices seem reasonable. Festive season Toyota may also introduce some special edition variants during the season that will offer more value.
