In India, Toyota has introduced the 2025 Fortuner and its high-end model, the Legender, both of which come with the new Neo Drive 48V mild hybrid system. With this addition to the Fortuner series, Toyota is introducing hybrid technology in an effort to provide more ecologically friendly and fuel-efficient automobiles.
Cost and Reservation Information
The Legender Neo Drive 48V costs ₹50.09 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Fortuner Neo Drive 48V costs ₹44.72 lakh. Both versions are currently available for reservation throughout India, and deliveries are anticipated to start the third week of June.
Engine Performance and Specifications
The 2.8-liter turbocharged diesel engine that powers the Fortuner and Legender Neo Drive 48V models produces 201 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. Performance is improved with the addition of the 48V mild-hybrid system, which adds 16 horsepower and 42 Nm of torque. The SUV is available with four-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive and has a 6-speed automatic transmission as standard. With the hybrid system providing smoother engine restarts and improved throttle response, Toyota claims a 5% increase in fuel efficiency over the base model.
Features for Safety
The 2025 Fortuner and Legender Neo Drive 48V models have the following cutting-edge safety features:
- A 360-degree camera improves parking and low-speed maneuvering by giving a bird’s-eye perspective of the environment.
- Adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, blind-spot detection, lane maintain assist, lane departure warning, high beam assist, and front collision warning are all features of the Toyota Safety Sense ADAS Suite.
- By temporarily holding brake pressure after releasing the brake pedal, Hill Assist Control (HAC) stops rollback on inclines.
- By lowering engine power and directing brake effort to certain wheels, the Traction Control System (TRC) improves traction on slick conditions.
- ISOFIX Child Seat Anchors: These anchors offer safe places for child seats to be attached, protecting small passengers.
Features on the Inside and Outside
The sturdy and high-end design features that define the Fortuner range are retained in the 2025 Fortuner and Legender Neo Drive 48V versions. The inside has minor cosmetic improvements to improve comfort and attractiveness, while the outside design mostly stays the same. In keeping with Toyota’s emphasis on providing a first-rate driving experience, all models are anticipated to come with a variety of color options and feature-rich cabins.
Toyota is demonstrating its commitment to providing the Indian market with more environmentally friendly and cutting-edge automobiles by introducing the 48V mild-hybrid system in the 2025 Fortuner and Legender models.
