Toyota India have removed the 11-speaker JBL sound system from the Fortuner 4x4 and Legender SUVs. This move has not affected the prices of both the SUVs and there are no other changes to the equipment list as well.

Toyota Fortuner And Legener Lose JBL Sound System

While the brochures of both the Fortuner and Legender SUVs continue to list the 11-speaker JBL sound system as part of the equipment list, the official website no longer lists it in the features list. A 6 speaker sound system, which comes standard in the lower variants, now replaces the older 11-speaker JBL sound system in the top variants.

We expect Toyota to update the brochures of the Fortuner and Legeder SUVs soon. Interestingly, the deletion of the JBL sound system has no impact on the prices of the Fortuner and Legender. The Fortuner SUV prices start from Rs. 32.59 lakh and go up to Rs. 50.34 lakh (ex-showroom). The Fortuner Legender SUV prices start from Rs. 42.82 lakh and go up to Rs. 46.54 lakh (ex-showroom).

Toyota Fortuner Powertrain Details

Take a look at the powertrain details of the Toyota Fortuner SUV:

TOYOTA FORTUNER SPECIFICATIONS
Variant	2.7L Petrol	2.8L Diesel MT	2.8L Diesel TC
Power	166PS @ 5200rpm	204PS @ 3000rpm	204PS @ 3000 - 3400rpm

Toyota offer the Fortuner with 2 engine options — a 2.7L normal petrol engine and a 2.8L turbo diesel engine. While both engines come with a rear-wheel drivetrain as standard, the diesel engine also offers the option of 4-wheel-drive. Toyota are likely to update the Fortuner soon to meet the upcoming BS6 phase-2 emission and road driving emission (RDE) norms.

Such a bummer to hear that the Toyota Fortuner is losing the JBL sound system! JBL always adds that premium audio experience, especially for music lovers on the go. Hope they bring it back in future models
