The Toyota Fortuner was introduced in 2009 in the Indian market and, since then, the SUV has sold more than one lakh units. The Ford Endeavour has been its primary rival since its launch. Last month, Toyota launched the second-gen model of the Fortuner and it competes with the second-gen Endeavour, launched back in January this year.
Mr N. Raja, director and senior vice president, marketing and sales, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said, “Being able to serve more than one lakh happy customers in such a premium and competitive segment, is a huge achievement for us. This would not have been possible without the support of our customers who have appreciated the product so much.”
Besides this, Toyota highlighted in an official release that it has received 6000 bookings for the new Fortuner within the first few weeks of its launch. Speaking of its launch month sales, Toyota retailed close to 2000 units of the new Fortuner in November, registering an 80 per cent growth compared to the same month last year. Presently, Toyota is trying to clear its 5000 pending orders at the earliest possible.
