Everyone’s dream of owning a Fortuner can now come true. Yes, because Toyota can launch a powerful Land Cruiser FJ SUV at a low price in the coming days. This SUV will be exactly like Fortuner.
Very soon, a powerful and affordable SUV like Fortuner can be seen in the global market. The company might call it Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 4×4. This SUV will be built on the innovative International Multi-Purpose Vehicle (IMV) IMV 0 platform, which also underpins popular models like HiLux and Fortuner. This new concept hints at Toyota’s future plans for utility vehicles. According to reports, Toyota may start manufacturing the Land Cruiser FJ 4×4 in Thailand from November 2024. It will also be built on the strong IMV 0 platform. Let us know its other details.
Production of the Land Cruiser FJ
Toyota introduced the Hilux Champ in Thailand in November 2023 at a competitive price, which attracted attention due to its affordable price. According to Gaadiwadi, production of the Land Cruiser FJ will begin in a year, which could become a cheaper option for customers looking to buy Fortuner. Measuring around 4.5 meters in length, the Land Cruiser FJ will share the same wheelbase as its bigger brother.
The price of Toyota Fortuner has increased significantly in recent years, due to which many potential Fortuner buyers cannot buy it as it is out of the common man’s budget. However, the price increase did not affect its sales. Fortuner has enjoyed great success in recent years.
Vehicles built on the IMV0 platform may miss some of the premium features of the Fortuner, but will have all the essential features of a utility vehicle. With this platform, Toyota is currently focusing on affordable cars, so that the company can attract more customers. The company particularly targets customers who want to buy a luxury SUV at a low cost.
Toyota is working on many new projects
The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ will have a GD series diesel engine. There will also be a petrol option, which could be a new unit that would debut in the next-gen Fortuner. It is still unclear whether the FJ will be introduced in India or not. However, it is clear that Toyota has a number of plans for the market, including a 7-seater variant of the Hyrider and an all-new electric SUV to be released in 2025. (pc-gaadiwaadi)
