Toyota Fortuner price increase in May 2026
After increasing the prices in January 2026 and April 2026, Toyota has again increased the prices of the Fortuner. Not all variants have the same increase in price and it appears to vary with different powertrain and drivetrain options. The prices of Fortuner Petrol AT 4X2 and Fortuner Diesel MT 4X2 variants have been increased the least.
The price of the Fortuner Diesel AT 4X2 has increased by Rs 65,000, while that of the Fortuner Diesel MT 4X4 has increased by Rs 67,000. The Fortuner diesel mild-hybrid AT 4X4 variant has seen a price increase of Rs 75,000 and finally, we have the Fortuner GR-S AT 4X4, which has the highest price among all the variants, with an ex-showroom price of Rs 87,000.

Thus, Fortuner prices now range between Rs 34.76 lakh (ex-sh) and go up to Rs 50.46 lakh (ex-sh). On the other hand, the price of Legender has increased by a maximum of Rs 83,000. Starting with the Legender Diesel AT 4X2, its price has increased by Rs 75,000, while the Legender Diesel MT 4X4 variant is priced at Rs 78,000. The Legender diesel mild-hybrid AT 4X4 variant is the one that has seen a price increase of Rs 83,000 over the ex-showroom price.
Toyota Fortuner sales have been relatively stable over the past six months with minor fluctuations on a month-on-month basis. Between October 2025 and March 2026, Fortuner recorded cumulative sales of 18,474 units, slightly higher than 18,172 units sold during the same six-month period a year ago, resulting in a growth of 1.66%.
Soon, the Toyota Fortuner will face proper competition with the launch of the MG Magster. It’s more feature-loaded, luxurious and packs better off-road hardware on paper than the Fortuner. However, Toyota has firmly ruled this large SUV segment due to the Fortuner’s widespread popularity, cult following and its association with VIPs and government representatives. The next generation version of the Fortuner is being developed based on the Hilux Travo. This upcoming version is expected to have an all-new front and rear design as well as a completely revised interior.
