For the affluent class, the Toyota Fortuner has been a preferred choice ever since its launch in India. And while it is often spotted simply gliding over potholed roads of the city, Toyota Kirloskar Motor organised an exclusive off-road camp in Mumbai to demonstrate the Fortuner’s ubiquitous off-roading prowess. The camp allowed customers a chance to experience off-roading capabilities like side inclines, water wading, slush pit, gravel pit, big mound and some articulation.
Customers, time and again have found value in the pride of owning a vehicle with full-fledged 4WD capability which can also be used for smooth city driving. With this off-road camp, Toyota plans to target existing and potential Fortuner customers in Mumbai to experience the off-roading capabilities in a special set up. This drive aimed to satisfy even the most demanding of the customers, finding value and prestige that goes beyond their expectations.
The 2nd generation Fortuner offers a tough and cool design, comes loaded with enormous power, exceptional ride comfort, premium features and top-class safety & security. It comes with 2.8L diesel engine with a6-Speed Automatic Transmission with sequential & paddle shifters and 2.7L petrol engine. The Fortuner gives reassuring performance of 177 PS and 450 Nm torque for the 2.8 L 6 speed automatic transmission. It is also available with a refined 2.7L petrol engine generating a performance of 166 PS & 245 Nm.
Sharing his thoughts on the event, Mr. N. Raja, Deputy Managing Director,Toyota Kirloskar Motor said, “The Fortuner has proved its ability with precision to adapt to the most demanding and unconventional terrains. The vehicle has become synonymous for its on-road presence and off-roading prowess.

The Fortuner has been leading the SUV segment in the country, currently with segment share of 70%.
This uniqueoff-road camp provides our existing and potential Fortuner customers an opportunity to experience all-terrain track ridden with steep inclines, descents, slush and deep water which enabled them to experience the overall performance of the vehicle in such conditions.We have received phenomenal response from such events organized earlier in New Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Panchkula, Gurugram and Hyderabad giving us a platform to build the Fortuner community and connect with Toyota fans across the country.” he added.
