The start of 2026 has brought some changes for Toyota buyers in India. The company has revised prices of its popular SUV and MPV models and has also made changes in the availability of variants. The updates are for the Fortuner, Innova Crysta and Innova Hycross, with some variants across the models discontinued.
Toyota has not given a detailed reason, but the reason for the price increase is likely higher production and input costs, which is something we have been seeing across the industry.
At the same time, there are still several models of Toyota that are not affected. Prices of the Hyryder, Taisor, Hilux, Rumion, Camry, Vellfire and Land Cruiser 300 continue as before.
Fortuner and Legender get the biggest hike
The Toyota Fortuner and the Legender versions of the same have seen the most increase this time.
Prices are now higher by Rs 51,000 to Rs 74,000 depending on the variant.
Some key updates include:

- Legender 4×2 automatic is now available at Rs 42.17 lakh
- Neo Drive 4×4 automatic is priced at Rs 42.37 lakh
- Top-spec Fortuner GR-S is now Rs 49.59 Lacs
Toyota has also stopped production of the Leader versions of the Fortuner. These were limited editions which were sold primarily through dealers.
Overall, the Fortuner range is now between Rs 34.16 lakh and Rs 49.59 lakh.
Innova Hycross becomes more expensive and easier
The Innova Hycross has also witnessed a visible price increase of up to Rs 48,000.

- Previous base price was Rs 9.51 lakh

Conclusion
Toyota’s January 2026 update is a bit of a mixed bag of higher prices and a cleaner variant lineup.

For those planning a purchase, it may be worth checking availability and booking early as prices across the market continue to move upwards.
