Toyota Fortuner, Legender New Variants: Toyota Kirloskar Motors has updated the variant list of its Fortuner and Legender for the Indian market. According to a statement, Toyota has added a new 48V NeoDrive variant, which offers mild-hybrid technology. Toyota says this technology helps in providing electric assist for better performance and helps in quieter starts and smoother accelerations. Further, Toyota has added new features to the Fortuner and the Legender.
“Now, the introduction of the new Neo Drive 48V grade in both models marks yet another milestone in our journey. As a segment first, it underscores our commitment to delivering ever-better cars that align with evolving customer lifestyles, while also reinforcing Toyota’s multi-pathway approach toward carbon neutrality,” Mr Varinder Wadhwa, Vice President, Sales-Service-Used Car Business, said.
Here’s a quick rundown of the new Fortuner and the Legender Neo Drive 48V variants:
According to Toyota, the new 48V Neo Drive technology will help in better performance with its electric boost. Further, it will automatically turn off the vehicle at the signal, which will help improve the fuel efficiency. Since Toyota offers the Fortuner and the Legender with a diesel engine, the Neo Drive technology will help in quieter starts and will reduce the strain on the engine. It will also enhance the acceleration by a smooth torque delivery.
Apart from the 48V Neo Drive technology, Toyota has added new features as well to the Fortuner and the Legender. The car manufacturer now offers a 360-degree parking camera, a multi-terrain select mode, and a wireless charger to the Fortuner and the Legender.
The Toyota Fortuner and the Legender are equipped with a 2.8L inline four-cylinder turbo diesel engine. This engine makes 200 bhp and 500 Nm of peak torque, mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox.
The price of the new Toyota Fortuner Neo Drive 48V variant is ₹44.72 lakh (ex-showroom). The price of the Toyota Legender Neo Drive 48V variant is ₹50.09 lakh (ex-showroom).
