Toyota Fortuner

Ever since Toyota stepped in the premium SUV segment with the Fortuner, it has ruled the roost and how!  Rival companies launched upgrades as well as new models to compete with this massive SUV but failed and nothing came close to the sales of the Fortuner. A 20+ lakh rupee SUV selling over 900 units on an average is simply fantastic and also goes to show that we Indians are indeed in love with ‘big’ machines. People love massaging their egos by driving vehicles that are as big as possible and the Toyota Fortuner does exactly that. 
However, at the same time, the design of the Fortuner was beginning to get dated and it also need an automatic option badly. At the 2012 Auto Expo in New Delhi, the company announced the new models (4x2 MT, 4x2 AT, 4x4 MT) along with changes to the exterior as well as interiors. So, is the best-seller even better now? Read on to know what Bunny Punia feels about the Fortuner after spending a day with it in and around New Delhi.
