The premium full-size SUV was recently given a mid-life makeover earlier this year which came with a series of updates- both features and spec-wise along with a substantial pierce increment in the first place. While the standard Fortuner would now cost in between Rs 30.34 lakh and Rs 37.79 lakh, one would have to pay Rs 38.30 lakh for the Legender trim (all prices ex-showroom).
