Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) today introduced the Fortuner with a 5-speed automatic transmission (previously 4-speed).
The Fortuner TRD Sportivo Limited Edition has also been regularised as a variant of the Fortuner. Pearl White Mica, a new premium colour has been introduced across all grades. The Fortuner TRD Sportivo is equipped with an aerodynamically designed front bumper spoiler and rear roof spoiler, rear bumper spoiler, and TRD Sportivo emblem. It is available in three dual-colour combinations – White Pearl Mica + Grey, Super White + Grey, and Silver + Grey.
On the occasion of the launch, Mr Sandeep Singh, Deputy Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer, Marketing and Commercial, TKM, said: “Further adding to Fortuner’s strength of unmatched road presence and luxury, we have now introduced the 5 speed automatic transmission. The 4×2 automatic transmission is extremely popular, it has been highly appreciated by the customers. The 5 speed AT will further add to the drive quality and comfort. We introduced the Fortuner TRD Sportivo as a limited edition in October last year. Looking at the overwhelming response and its popularity, we have now regularized this grade for all those looking for a unique sporty image. The bookings will open starting 18th January 2013.”
The Toyota Fortuner, the segment leader, was launched on August 24, 2009 and since then has sold more than 41,000 units.
