Toyota has introduced the MY2024 version of its popular Fortuner SUV in Thailand. The new Thai-spec Fortuner SUV comes with a host of upgrades, including increased power output, added tech and other safety features.
The base-spec 2024 Fortuner (Leader variant in Thailand) now comes with TPMS as standard, along with a new Silver Sky Metallic colour option. The mid-spec Fortuner Legender (LTD variant in Thailand) also gets TPMS, a larger 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless charging.
The top-spec 2024 Fortuner GR Sport trim also gets tech and feature additions. However, the biggest change is the updated 2.8-litre engine which now puts out 224 BHP and 550 Nm - 20 BHP and 50 Nm more than offered previously.
The addition of the new features, tech and updated engine also brings in a substantial price hike. Depending on the variant, the 2024 Toyota Fortuner in Thailand now costs anywhere between Rs 35,500 - Rs 1 lakh (THB 15,000 - THB 40,000) more than the previous model.
There is currently no official confirmation whether or not Toyota will bring the same updates to the India-spec Fortuner anytime soon.

Definitely expecting Toyota to bring in all the changes except the engine change and increase prices by Rs 500,000. It will still sell.
Considering there is no real competitor for Fortuner yet, this is going to sell even with increase of few lakhs in selling price. Gloster, Meridian attracts different sets of people, but Fortuner has its own fanbase, which is not going to reduce anytime soon. Adding more power and feature is not going to justify the price increase which Toyota will come up with, but it’s going to sell for sure.
