Toyota Fortuner comes with both petrol and diesel engine options. The new Fortuner cars that are likely to be released in 2026 will come with a bigger touchscreen infotainment and ventilated seats. You can pick from the RWD models if you drive mostly in cities and on highways. If you prefer off-roading, you can pick the 4WD models as they also come with traction control. The new Toyota Fortuner 2026 will also come with panoramic sunroof and ADAS safety features.
