The Surge Affects the Top-Total Bundle, Legender, but in its Context
The steeper influence of this rise in oil is reflected in the introduction of the Legender. At the same time, the basic petrol variant is now priced ex-showroom at ₹33.78 lakh, making it an essential starter version.

The Pearl White petrol Fortuner even has a higher market price, with manual and automatic variants priced at ₹33.58 lakh and ₹35.17 lakh, respectively.
Toyota Kirloskar Motors will probably be gearing up for a price reset. It's that time of year for price adjustments, always with manufacturers jogging back two steps. Toyota and other market producers like Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, and even Mahindra are joining the price-increasing bandwagon. Toyota cited rising input costs and specific safety regulations that now influence all model variants, including the Standard Sigma and Legender trims in petrol and diesel models.
The new price fluctuation in Toyota Fortuner makes a difference of about ₹50,000 to ₹applications at present, beginning from that for basic petrol 4×2 manual transmission at ₹33.78 lakh. A little under that is the automatic petrol price of Fortuner at ₹35.02 lakh. There is a very slight premium in price for the Fortuner petrol Pearl White edition, whereas the manual and automatic versions are priced at ₹33.58 lakh and ₹35.17 lakh, respectively.
Diesel versions, too, haven't been exempted from the significant price rise. The starting price for the base 4×2 MT diesel variant is now ₹35.93 lakh, and that for the Pearl White automatic variant is ₹42.47 lakh.
