Toyota Fortuner is undoubtedly India’s most popular full-size SUV. This SUV sells like hotcakes in Japan and shows no signs of slowing down, regardless of price. But when you consider the cost of this SUV, have you ever wondered where that money actually goes? Have you ever wondered who is actually getting the insane price tag for this SUV? You’ll be surprised to know that it’s not Toyota or its dealers who sell all the Fortuners and make a lot of money. Instead, the government of India gets the lion’s share.

Information Shared by Anvit Tyagi Via Instagram

Yes, that’s right. The SUV’s maker, Toyota Kirloskar Motor, is not the company that benefits most from the Fortuner. Toyota dealers aren’t the ones making the most money selling Fortuners. Instead, it is the Indian government that makes an incredible amount of money through excessive taxes. Anvit Tyagi recently explained the complete cost breakdown of the Toyota Fortuner on his Instagram page.

The creator of this video begins by mentioning that the actual cost of building the Fortuner would shock anyone. And he says exactly the same thing he said in the previous paragraph. He further said that since the Toyota Fortuner is over 4 meters long, measures 4.7 meters and is also equipped with a 2.8-litre engine, the government will initially impose 28% GST and then add another 22% like CESS. explained.

The presenter then stated that the actual price of the car was only Rs 26.67 lakh. Then on the car, he says that when he adds his GST of 28%, the cost increases to Rs 34,13,760. After this, the moderator will add his CESS of 22% and the cost of Fortuner will be Rs 41,64,787 for him. Then the government doesn’t stop there; it will then add registration and then add something called green cess. All this brings the total cost of Toyota Fortuner to 4,427,000 rupees.

Finally, he added, the funniest part of this whole situation is yet to come. He added that the interesting thing is that after collecting Rs 18,000 crore for the Fortuner alone, Toyota, the manufacturer of the SUV, has only Rs 45,000 to Rs 50,000 left. He added that this is not an actual number, but has been estimated by many other analysts. It is also estimated that Toyota dealers earn an average of around Rs 100,000 from the sale of each Fortuner.

Upcoming 2024 Toyota Fortuner Hybrid

In other Toyota Fortuner news, images of what appears to be the next-generation Toyota Fortuner were recently leaked online. Recently leaked images of the next Fortuner reveal that the upcoming SUV will feature a refreshed front profile inspired by the popular Tacoma pickup truck. The new design features a larger grille, new headlights, and a revised bumper, giving the SUV a bold, aggressive look. Changes at the rear are still pending, but there is speculation that new taillights could be part of the redesign.


The leaked images did not show the cabin of the next Fortuner. However, it is speculated that the 2024 Toyota Fortuner will undergo a complete facelift with the latest features and meet the needs of today’s drivers. Another notable addition to the Toyota Fortuner’s interior is said to be an all-new electric sunroof that adds a touch of luxury to the SUV. It is unclear whether this sunroof is a panoramic unit or a single window.


Finally, the other most exciting development in the upcoming Fortuner is the possible introduction of a mild hybrid diesel engine. Toyota plans to improve the Fortuner’s fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness by integrating a 48V battery and electric motor generator into the existing 2.8-litre diesel engine, similar to Toyota’s popular MPV Innova Highcross. The aims.

After years of silence, Honda Cars India, the Indian subsidiary of Japanese auto giant Honda, is finally entering the highly competitive midsize SUV segment. The company plans to meet this challenge with an all-new Elevate that will make its official debut on June 6th. The test mule for this upcoming SUV has been spotted being tested multiple times in India just days before its launch, another test vehicle was spotted testing in Japan as well, and other important information about the upcoming SUV. Details have emerged. 

Honda Elevate Spy Shots

Images of the latest test mule spotted in Japan show that the Elevate has a strikingly similar aesthetic to the recently launched Honda WR-V SUV in the Indonesian market. First, the Elevate has an upright stance similar to the WR-V. Up front, it has a muscular front end that might include Honda’s signature Jewel Chrome finish grille. The headlights will probably consist entirely of LED units, giving the vehicle a smoother and more aggressive look. A strong front bumper further emphasizes the upright position, with fog lights and possibly a silver skid plate.

Another profile photo of the Elevate test car has been shared, showing the SUV with pleasing proportions. These ratios were reportedly set taking into account the Indian market and buyer preferences. It’s worth noting that Honda doesn’t typically test Indian products in its home market of Japan. However, although the Elevate is probably the first model developed for India, it has also been tested in Japan for the global market. Back in the spy shots, you can also see alloy wheels on the side of the car similar to those found on Honda’s city sedan in India. These alloy wheels are finished in black, but there are reports that top-of-the-range models may also come in black or diamond cut. Lower spec versions may have a silver finish.

One of the sharpest spy shots of the rear of this upcoming SUV was also recently shared. A new spy shot of the rear suggests the taillights are likely carried over from the Indonesian WR-V. These tail lights feature a two-piece light with the top LED section extending to the side of the vehicle. Halogen bulbs may be used for backlights and blinkers. In this spy video, the existence of an advanced driver assistance system “ADAS” is also confirmed. A 360-degree camera setup is visible in one of the side mirrors.

Honda recently announced and confirmed that the Elevate will be equipped with Honda Sensing Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) along with all future Honda vehicles launched in India. For those who don’t know, Honda Sensing ADAS is the brand’s suite of safety technologies designed to increase driver awareness and reduce potential hazards on the road. It integrates various sensors and cameras to provide comprehensive functions that improve driving safety. 

Honda Elevate Official Date Poster

The Honda Elevate will be equipped with a 1.5-litre gasoline engine that is also used in Honda’s medium-sized city sedan. The engine produces 150Nm of torque and 121 horsepower. However, it is reported that Honda may tailor performance characteristics to the SUV form factor. Depending on the variant, the SUV could have the same CVT or six-speed manual transmission options as the Honda City. Safety features such as Honda’s LaneWatch system, dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and the rear-view camera will be installed on the next SUV from June 6th.

To combat air and noise pollution from vehicles on its roads, the Punjab Police have adopted strict anti-violation measures. In a recent case, a repeat offender was arrested for driving a tractor equipped with an illegal 52-speaker audio system known to make loud noises. The Punjab police team determined that the culprits installed the music system on the tractor, making it taller than a typical truck. 

The incident occurred in Khanna village, Punjab, where a young man was arrested for driving a completely rebuilt tractor with various modifications and custom features. The highlight of the modification was the 52-speaker sound system installed by the tractor owner.

The entire audio system, consisting of speakers and amplifiers, was mounted at the rear of the tractor. The police noted that the overall structure, reaching a height of 10-12 feet, exceeded the height of a regular heavy-duty truck. Additionally, the tractor owner was found to be causing disturbances outside schools and colleges by playing excessively loud music from the heavily modified audio system. Furthermore, the tractor was also equipped with a pressure horn, which is prohibited.

The incident happened in Khanna village

Punjab police have arrested a tractor owner who repeatedly violated traffic safety rules. Police said the owner had previously been arrested and warned for similar behaviour but had disobeyed the rules. When the owner of a tractor equipped with an illegal music system and horn was arrested, he tried to escape by driving the tractor at high speed. However, the traffic police managed to detain him and detain him along with the tractor.

A subsequent investigation revealed that the tractor owner had previously been charged with six separate counts. The tractor was found to have been driving without valid insurance, discharge certificate and registration certificate, further complicating the situation for the owner. Police have filed multiple complaints against the tractor owner and said further trials are expected in the district court. They also suggested that fines imposed on tractor owners could range from Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 2 lakh. 

What modifications are allowed?

Certain modifications can be made to the vehicle without changing the manufacturer’s original specifications. These included cosmetic changes such as a repaint of the car, minor additions such as a rain visor and bumper corner protectors, larger tires and wheels within limits set by the automaker, and pre-approved by the RTO. Including engine replacement. However, if any of these rules are violated, the vehicle owner faces fines such as a fine of Rs.5,000 per alteration or imprisonment for up to six months.

It is important to note that vehicle structural modifications are not permitted by law in India. The Supreme Court of India and the Motor Vehicles Act prohibit such modifications for use on public roads. These vehicles can be used as project vehicles or on private property such as racetracks or farms but can be seized by police if found on public roads.

Since its launch in January 2023, Thar RWD has enjoyed great success in India. The Mahindra Thar RWD is more affordable, making it a top choice for buyers who want the rugged appeal of a Thar without the luxury of a four-wheel drive. The popularity of thar RWD is evidenced by the current wait time of up to 17 months. 

For the diesel version of the Mahindrathal RWD, which has a 1.5-litre diesel engine and a 6-speed manual gearbox, the waiting period is 17 months. In contrast, the petrol version of the Thar RWD has a much shorter wait time of just one month. This indicates that the diesel version is in high demand, despite the petrol version being more powerful but less efficient. 

Available in two variants, the Thar RWD Diesel features a smaller 1.5-litre diesel engine as opposed to the larger and more powerful 2.2-litre diesel engine of the Thar 4WD diesel. The Thar 4WD’s 2.2-litre diesel engine produces 130 horsepower, while the Taal RWD’s smaller 1.5-litre diesel engine produces a maximum output of 118 horsepower. Surprisingly, both diesel engines have the same maximum torque of 300Nm. 

Thar 4X2 launched to reach more customers

Unlike the Thar 4WD Diesel, which offers both a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission, the Thar RWD Diesel is only available with a 6-speed manual transmission. Meanwhile, the Thar RWD petrol engine shares a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder medallion turbocharged petrol engine with the Thar 4WD petrol engine, delivering the same power and torque of 150 hp and 300 Nm respectively. The Thar 4WD Petrol is only available with a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the Thar 4WD Petrol is available with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Of course, the Mahindra Thar RWD lacks some of the off-road capabilities of the Thar 4WD with its all-wheel-drive system and its manually operated 4×4 transfer case. However, the Thar RWD is equipped with a manual limited-slip differential, which, while not as smooth as the 4WD version, still has good traction over rough terrain. The 4WD version of the Thar will be offered in both hardtop and convertible body styles, while the RWD version will be limited to the hardtop body version. 

Maruti Suzuki Jimny is launching soon

Maruti Suzuki will soon launch the new Jimny in the Indian market. The new all-terrain vehicle is set to go on sale next month and should take most of the sales away from Thar. The Maruti Suzuki Jimny will likely have a long wait, but will likely remain significantly cheaper than the Thar.

In recent years, India has emerged as an important market for automakers, driving their growth and expansion plans. The country is on the verge of overtaking major countries such as the United States and China as it is gaining more attention from automakers. Maruti Suzuki India Limited Chairman RC Bhargava recently confirmed this trend and predicted that within the next five years, India would overtake the United States and China to become a major automotive market. 

Maruti Suzuki Chairman RC Bhargava

Bhargava said the U.S. and China are now ahead of India because of their larger economies. However, when it comes to the automotive industry, India is experiencing impressive growth. The company is already the market leader in the two-wheeler sector, and vehicle sales continue to grow. India has now overtaken Japan to take third place.

Bhargava acknowledged that overtaking China will be even more difficult because the Chinese market, where car sales are growing, is much larger. For example, in 2022 in China, he will have 26.86 million cars sold, while in India he will have 20.75 million sold across all categories. He suggested that India could move forward by significantly expanding the capacity of its local manufacturing bases in the country.

Maruti Suzuki, chaired by RC Bhargava, exported 260,000 units in 2022/23. Bhargava said the figure could have been higher had it not been for production problems such as semiconductor shortages. However, once these challenges subside, Maruti Suzuki positions India as a major vehicle exporter, aiming to triple its exports from the previous year.

To boost exports, Maruti Suzuki has already announced an investment of up to INR 18 crore in a manufacturing facility to be built in Sonipat, Haryana in 2022. Over the next seven years, the new facility is expected to become the company’s largest production facility.

In addition to Maruti Suzuki, other automakers are also investing heavily to expand production and increase exports to other countries. Hyundai, for example, has announced an investment of INR 20,000 for the same purpose, and MG plans to invest INR 5 billion over the next five to seven years. In addition to their focus on internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, automakers are gradually turning their attention to electric vehicles (EVs) as they aim to expand production and exports in the coming years. Even Roads Minister Nitin Gadkari has suggested that India could become a major auto market within the next five years by focusing on electric and flex-fuel vehicles.

The country’s largest automaker, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, is preparing to launch its most expensive model yet in the coming months. We are talking about the premium MPV Maruti Suzuki Engage. This upcoming MPV is another of his badged models co-developed with fellow Japanese auto giant Toyota Kirloskar Motors. The Engage MPV is based on the Toyota Innova Hycross, with minor external adjustments to distinguish it from the Innova Hycross. A video recently surfaced online showing what this newest Maruti Suzuki MPV looks like. 

A video rendering of this upcoming MPV has been shared by Barawala Designs on their YouTube channel. The video begins with the front of the Engage MPV. In the video, we can see that the front grille of the Toyota Innova Hicross has been replaced with that of Maruti Suzuki’s current flagship, the Grand Vitara. Additionally, the Toyota badging has been replaced with a Suzuki badging and a new signature Maruti Suzuki chrome stripe has been added to the grille. Other than that, the front end is essentially identical to that of the previous Toyota Innova Highcross.

In terms of the side profile of the rendered car, not much has changed, the only big difference you can notice is the different sets of alloy wheels. The redesigned MPV’s alloy wheels are the same as those currently offered on the Grand Vitara. Nothing has changed on the Engage rendering backend except for adding the chrome stripes and the Suzuki logo. Aside from exterior changes, there are no major changes inside this upcoming MPV, keeping all the amenities and features of the Toyota Innova Highcross mostly intact. 

Maruti Suzuki Engage Expected Front Look

In terms of features, we can expect the Indo-Japanese carmaker Maruti Suzuki to offer a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment display, a digital driver’s display, dual-zone temperature control, and ventilated front seats in the Maruti premium MPV. Additionally, a panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charging, a 360-degree camera, and connected car technology are likely to be included. Meanwhile, on the safety front, the car could come equipped with front and rear parking sensors, up to six airbags, ABS with EBD, vehicle stability control (VSC), a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and ADAS features, including lane-keeping and departure aid, adaptive cruise control, and auto-emergency braking.

As for the powertrain side of things, the premium MPV Engage will most likely be available from Maruti Suzuki with the same drivetrain choices as the Innova Hycross. This suggests that the 2.0-litre four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine and the 2.0-litre petrol-hybrid engine will be the two powerplant options for this MPV. The naturally aspirated petrol engine delivers 173 hp and 209 Nm of torque. Meanwhile, the Innova Hycross’s 2.0-litre petrol hybrid powertrain reaches a maximum output of 184 horsepower and a full fuel consumption of 23.24 km/h.

Rumour has it that the EV division of Tata Motors, the country’s largest electric car maker, has been working on an electric version of its hugely popular Punch micro SUV for a long time. After months of rumours, we finally have proof that this is true. I recently captured a spy shot of an electric version of the Tata Punch being towed by a flatbed. Team-BHP reports that this latest Tata Punch EV test mule was spotted near Lonavala Hill Station in Maharashtra. 

Tata Punch EV Spotted Look

You can’t tell from the photos that there’s much difference in appearance, but discerning observers will notice that this particular test mule has an extra rear disc brake. This option is not available for ICE iterations of punch. This additional braking equipment is believed to have been added to support the extra weight created by the car’s heavy battery and motor. The report also states that the Test Mule didn’t have a conventional exhaust system, which is another big piece of evidence that this is an electric version of the Punch.

Aside from these differences, there were no noticeable changes to the exterior, but you can expect some cosmetic tweaks to be made once the car is unveiled. Presumably, the car’s front bumper will be fitted with a closed grille, similar to the EV version of the Tiago EV. In addition, the car received an additional EV badging with blue accents around the perimeter and the standard ICE brothers, still the most popular micro SUV in the country and one of Tata’s most popular cars. are distinguished from

Several battery packs are available that offer different ranges. In his recently launched Tiago EV, the company offers a hatchback powered by his 24kWh battery, which gives him an MIDC-certified range of 315km. There is also a small battery of 19.2 kWh. The MIDC-certified range is 250 km. Presumably, these numbers will hold up for the Tata Punch EV as well.

The Tata Punch EV could also be equipped with various driving modes such as city and sports. Different levels of playback may also occur to increase range. Perhaps the company will also offer an EV micro SUV with telematics via Z-Connect. Tiago EV now has over 65 features including remote climate control on/off, remote geofencing, real-time charging status, smartwatch connectivity and more. Tata may also offer leather seats, automatic climate control, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, power ORVM, cruise control, and more. In addition, the vehicle can also be supplied with a top-of-the-range version with up to eight loudspeakers.

Aside from minor updates to the variant lineup and the need to comply with revised emissions and safety regulations, the 3rd generation Hyundai i20 hasn’t changed much since its launch in 2020. However, Hyundai is reportedly working on a facelifted version of the i20, which is expected to arrive in India in the next few weeks. South Korean online platform AutoSpy has leaked images of this upcoming facelifted Hyundai i20. It appears to be production ready with some visible improvements.

New and Updated cabin Hyundai Elite i20

A single image of the interior of the facelifted Hyundai i20 has also leaked, showing that the cabin layout has been kept with the same all-black theme. The most noticeable change on this refreshed i20, however, is the new full TFT instrument panel that looks just like the Alcazar. Other than that, the cabin appears to retain its current feature list, which includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, a four-spoke multifunction steering wheel, and wireless charging. The new i20 is also expected to be equipped with new features such as ventilated front seats.

Hyundai recently ditched diesel models of the i20 and the hatchback will only be available as a pure petrol version. This means that the new and improved i20 retains the current version’s 1.2-litre 4-cylinder 83PS turbocharged petrol engine and 1.0-litre 3-cylinder 120PS turbocharged petrol engine.

The facelifted version of the Hyundai i20 will go on sale first in its home market of South Korea, followed by other major markets, including India. The new i20 will continue to compete with vehicles such as the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Toyota Granza and Tata Altros.
