Reinforcing its strong foothold in India’s premium SUV segment, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has announced a major milestone—cumulative sales of 3 lakh units of the Fortuner and Legender. This achievement highlights the enduring popularity of these premium SUVs and reflects Toyota’s dedication to delivering reliable, high-performance vehicles that seamlessly blend power with precision.
Since its launch in 2009, the Toyota Fortuner has set the benchmark in the SUV category, known for its rugged durability and refined performance. Powered by a robust 2.8L diesel engine that delivers 204 PS of power and 500 Nm of torque, the Fortuner stands out for its exceptional off-road capabilities. Its proven ladder-frame construction and advanced 4×4 technology make it the perfect choice for adventure seekers and driving enthusiasts—equally at home on rough terrains and smooth highways.
The Toyota Fortuner isn’t just built to perform-it’s built to make a statement. With its bold, masculine stance, towering ground clearance, and commanding driving position, it exudes power on every road. Designed to dominate, the Fortuner doesn’t just bend in – it owns the road with unwavering confidence. Its sculpted exterior lines, signature LED lighting and refined premium interiors reflect a vehicle crafted to those who discern for presence with purpose, becoming an aspirational lifestyle icon.
The Legender, introduced in 2021, builds upon this legacy by offering a more luxurious and feature-packed experience, designed for the modern, urban driver. Featuring exclusive dual-tone styling, sequential LED turn indicators, wireless charging, and an 11-speaker JBL audio system, the Legender delivers a more refined driving experience. With advanced 4X4 capabilities, the Legender is an ideal companion for both off-road escapades and city adventures.
What truly distinguishes the Fortuner and Legender is their unmatched reliability, strong resale value, and low cost of ownership—qualities deeply rooted in Toyota’s trusted brand promise.
Speaking on the milestone, Mr. Varinder Wadhwa, Vice President, Sales-Service-Used Car Business, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said, “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the passionate Fortuner and Legender fan base in India for their unwavering trust in our brand as we celebrate the remarkable 3-lakh milestone of our most admired SUV.
