Toyota motor corporation along with its Indian partners Kirlosker launched luxury SUV Fortuner in India . The Fortuner SUV was first introduced in 2005 . So far it sold more than 250000 units world over . The new Fortuner 2009 in India is specially tested and built for Indian roads . Large wheel base and ground clearance and all time four wheel drive might help Fortuner to be stable SUV in Indian conditions. The big surprise made by Toyota is on the price . We expected it to be over 20 lakhs But surprisingly it will cost only near 18 lakhs ,making it near competitor to Honda CR-V, Mitsubishi Outlander, Chevrolet Captiva, Suzuki Grand Vitara and Ford Endeavour and other offroaders out there . Toyota Fortuner will be powered by a 3.0 L diesel engine that will deliver 171PS @ 3600rpm. The interior and exterior facilities needs no appraisal .
Toyota will manufacture Fortuner in its Bangalore plant .They plans to sell approximately 2500 Fortuners in this fiscal year . But as as per reports it got more than 1000 bookings before official launch .

That’s great but I wonder how many Indians will be able to buy this as it’s quite expensive and with SUVs like Scorpio selling their new and automatic variants for like around 11 lacs,, its a tough market condition with people looking to spend less and value-for-money gaining ground!
@Neil
Scorpio is the best entry level SUV in India. It can never die. A CRV here and a Fortunrt there cannot replace its position. Scorpio is full Value-for-Money SUV and a road presence of its own.
Scorpio fans will never go for anything else because Scorpio is the best off-roader vehicle. Fortuner is the beast of an SUV but I still feel it will be a delicate vehicle for jungle safaris and driving through rivers and things like that. Scorpio can handle mud tracks and off-road conditions like no other.
Scorpio cannot be compared with Fortuner and Fortuner with Scorpio . Scorpio is an entry level SUV that a medium Indian family can opt for .Whereas Fortuner costs more than 15 lakhs ,and provides facilities for that price . So its budget thats decide your SUV . If you have money you can definitely go for Fortuner . If your budget is around 10 lakhs , then Safari ,Scorpio and Xylo are best options .
