Toyota has launched a new top variant on the Fortuner. The popular SUV now gets a five-speed automatic gearbox on the 4x4 variant, priced at Rs 26.59 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Apart from this mechanical change, there are a few cosmetic changes on the outside and in, as well as some feature additions. We had broken the news earlier about the new Fortuner variants, and addition of airbags in the Innova variants.

The new top-spec Fortuner 3.0 4X4 AT comes with the following features:

  • All-black interiors instead of the dual-tone theme seen on other Fortuner models
  • New 12-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels in dark-grey shade
  • Minor tweaks to the front fog-lamp housing
  • A touchscreen DVD display with navigation system equipped with voice-commands
  • Smoked-headlamp and tail-lamp inserts exclusive to this trim
  • Two new paint shades on offer - Bronze Mica Metallic and Silver Metallic
The Fortuner is powered by the 168bhp 3.0-litre diesel engine, and this top 4x4 variant gets a five-speed automatic transmission. This means the Fortuner is now available in four variants - 4×2 MT, 4x2 AT, 4×4 MT and the top 4×4 AT.

Toyota has also launched the updated Innova MPV with the following changes:

  • Dual front airbags and ABS standard on all variants
  • Slightly tweaked front grille, bumper and side mouldings
  • Newly designed leather seats with a folding second and third row
  • New ‘oak” interior shade and wood finish on armrests for higher variants
  • Third-row AC roof-mounted vents for G-trim level up
  • Two new paint shades - Bronze Mica Metallic and Silver Metallic
The Innova is available in the price range of Rs 10,51,451 and Rs 15,80,930, ex-showroom, Delhi (post increased excise duty).
The all-new Fortuner is available in the price range of Rs 24,17,200 and Rs 26,49,429, ex-showroom, Delhi (post increased excise duty).
Toyota is also working on another new variant for the Fortuner, the 2.5-litre version. The carmaker has begun testing the next-generation models of the Fortuner and the Innova, expected to be revealed later this year. These are likely to hit our showrooms comming soon..

2018 Lamborghini Urus India review, test drive

             On first introduction, it’s a recipe for intimidation. It’s claimed to be the fastest SUV in the world (0-100kph in 3.6sec and a top speed of 305kph puts it nearly in supercar territory), and it’s made by Lamborghini – creator of some of the most savage vehicles on the market. Things – as with any Lamborghini, for that matter – would be a lot less daunting if we were driving on a smooth European country road, a wide motorway, or even a race track. But today we’re driving the Urus on a narrow  ghat  road, as well as through some heavy Pune traffic. Perhaps the intention was to demonstrate that this is the first Lamborghini ever to go on sale in India that truly works in our conditions – but still, I doubt they accounted for rush hour. It’s requisitely mad to look at, employing as many ‘sporty’ design tropes to an SUV body style as possible – the only thing missing is a massive wing on the back; and somehow, it works. It’s ...

Honda CB Unicorn 160 vs Suzuki Gixxer comparison

There is no replacement for displacement, as goes the old American saying, with which the rest of the world often nods in agreement. Increase in the number of cubic centimeters of fuel that our engines burn, seems only to be a pleasant idea to almost every petrolhead. More power, more torque and a healthier sounding grunt from the exhaust are the common expectations from larger engines. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has walked this same path, to add 10 extra cubic centimeters of capacity to the now proven CB Unicorn engine, to make the Honda CB Unicorn 160. FROLIC FASHION Although some of the features of the older CB Unicorn have been bettered, we’ve gone ahead and pitched it right in at the deep end, to face off against the very best in the segment to find out the exact degree to which this motorcycle has improved. So, in steps the Suzuki Gixxer, a Japanese-made premium commuter that’s fast rising to the top of its segment, with enough promise to overshadow all o...

Land Rover Discovery Sport review

Two things. To start with, it’s Land Rover’s replacement for the popular and capable Freelander. It’s also the first of the models from Land Rover’s new Discovery sub-brand, one that will focus on utility in the same vein as the Range Rover line is about luxury. The Discovery Sport was shown as a concept last year and the production version’s styling doesn’t stray too far from the prototype. It’s smart, well proportioned and interesting but doesn’t have the show value of something like an Evoque. Still, there’s a certain honesty to the chunky shape which, if you think about it, more than links the Sport to the Freelander. The Sport is 91mm longer than its predecessor and also sits on a wheelbase that’s grown by 80mm. These increments, and the incorporation of a compact multi-link rear suspension, have allowed Land Rover to fit in a third row of seats, giving the Sport a big advantage over its five-seat competitors – the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Volvo XC60. But Land Rover is being cau...
