Toyota Fortuner: 1 lakh sales up!

The Toyota Fortuner has managed to clock 1 lakh sales in India, since its original launch here in 2009. The Fortuner has been a leader in the full-size SUV segment for majority of its sales period in the country.

The first-gen Fortuner was launched in 2009, which later got a facelift in 2012. Acknowledging the popularity and market response for the Fortuner, Toyota kept on adding more variants to its line-up. The SUV was initially launched only with the 3.0L 4x4 MT trim. Toyota later added the 3.0L 4x2 MT and AT variants. In 2015, the automaker brought the top-end 3.0L 4x4 AT to the Indian market, along with a new entry-level 2.5L 4x2 variant, which was available with a 5-speed MT and a 5-speed AT.

Toyota recently launched the second-gen, 2016 Fortuner in India. The company claims to have received over 6,000 bookings for the new model within a few weeks. Toyota sold 1,924 units of the Fortuner last month.
