Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has proudly announced a remarkable milestone—cumulative sales of over 3 lakh units of the Toyota Fortuner and Legender SUVs in India. This landmark achievement highlights Toyota’s continued dominance and deep-rooted trust in the premium SUV segment, marking these vehicles as the preferred choice for SUV enthusiasts across the country.
Fortuner: The SUV That Grew With India’s Roads
Since 2009, the Fortuner has been a familiar sight on India’s roads, and for good reason. It’s built tough—no-nonsense, ready for whatever you throw at it. Powered by a strong 2.8-liter diesel engine that pumps out 204 PS and 500 Nm of torque, it’s an SUV that loves to explore, whether it’s the dusty backroads or city highways.
What makes the Fortuner special isn’t just power—it’s the feeling of confidence it gives you behind the wheel. The high stance, bold grille, and muscular body aren’t just about looks. They say, “I’m here to perform.” And perform it does, thanks to Toyota’s ladder-frame chassis and advanced 4×4 system that take the fear out of rough terrain.
Inside, it’s surprisingly plush. Toyota knows you don’t want to rough it inside while you’re tackling tough terrains outside. That’s why the cabin mixes ruggedness with comfort — roomy seats, thoughtful tech, and quality materials.
Meet the Legender — Fortuner’s Classier Cousin
In 2021, Toyota brought in the Legender to shake things up. It’s like the Fortuner got a style upgrade, dressed for the city life with exclusive two-tone paint, cool LED lighting, wireless charging, and a killer JBL sound system with 11 speakers.
But don’t mistake the Legender for just a pretty face. It shares the Fortuner’s strong 4×4 setup and off-road ability, so you can enjoy a luxurious drive in town or head out on a weekend trail with equal ease.
Why the Fortuner and Legender Keep Winning Hearts
The Toyota Fortuner and Legender are much more than just SUVs—they’re trusted companions for thousands of drivers across India. Built on Toyota’s core philosophy of Quality, Durability, and Reliability (QDR), these vehicles have earned a loyal fan base that values long-term ownership peace of mind.
Here’s why owners keep choosing them:
- Unmatched Reliability: Toyota’s QDR philosophy means these SUVs are built to last, giving drivers confidence no matter the journey.
- Strong Resale Value: Fortuner and Legender hold their value well, making them smart investments for the long run.
- Worry-Free Ownership: With low maintenance costs and a robust service network, owning one is hassle-free.
Varinder Wadhwa, Vice President at Toyota Kirloskar Motor, sums it up perfectly:
“This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the trust of our customers. These SUVs deliver not just power and performance but also peace of mind that lasts for years.”
More Than Just SUVs — It’s About the Experience
Toyota doesn’t stop at making great cars. Their T CARE program looks after customers from day one, making sure owning a Fortuner or Legender is easy and enjoyable. Services like T DELIVER and T ASSIST help keep everything smooth, so drivers can focus on the joy of driving.
What’s Next?
Crossing the 3 lakh mark is just the start. Toyota’s Fortuner and Legender continue to evolve, staying true to the qualities that drivers love—strength, style, and dependability. For anyone who wants an SUV that can take on every kind of journey while turning heads, these two remain top choices.
