The Fortuner from Toyota Kirloskar Motor continued to dominate the full-size SUV sales charts in the month of August 2022. With a YoY positive sales growth of 8%, the Japanese seven-seater SUV with strong off-roading capabilities sold a total of 2,581 units last month as opposed to 2,387 units during the same period in 2021.
The Fortuner is anticipated to get a brand-new generation in the upcoming months, and before it reaches India, it is likely to be sold in international markets. It will probably undergo a number of changes both inside and out, and it might have a hybrid drivetrain. Toyota will introduce the Innova Hycross locally prior to its arrival.
With a total domestic sales of 400, the Jeep Meridian came in second place. The seven-seater has larger proportions and is based on the Compass. It is powered by the well-known 2.0-liter diesel engine, which generates 170 PS and 350 Nm. In India, the MG Gloster recently received a minor update.
