Toyota Legender Neo Drive Updates

In 2025, the Toyota Fortuner Legender Neo Drive received a comprehensive update, highlighted by the integration of a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that works alongside its proven 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine. This new hybrid setup includes a lithium-ion battery and a belt-driven starter generator, providing smoother power delivery, better low-speed torque, improved fuel economy, and reduced emissions, particularly beneficial in urban driving conditions. The latest model also introduces features such as a 360-degree camera and wireless charging, enhancing both safety and convenience for occupants. The 4x4 diesel automatic version is now offered exclusively with this hybrid technology, underlining Toyota’s commitment to efficiency and innovation, though this has resulted in a higher starting price of ₹50.09 lakh (ex-showroom). Despite the price revision, the Legender Neo Drive retains its bold two-tone exterior, luxurious leather-trimmed cabin, ventilated power front seats, multi-terrain driving modes, and a robust suite of safety features including seven airbags, stability control, hill assist, and traction control. Bookings for the updated SUV opened in June 2025, with deliveries set to follow soon after, ensuring that the Legender Neo Drive continues to appeal to buyers seeking a sophisticated mix of comfort, technology, efficiency, and off-road prowess in a large SUV.
