Toyota deletes 11-speaker JBL system from Fortuner

The JBL sound system was available in the Fortuner 4×4 and Legender 4×4 variants.

Toyota no longer offers the 11-speaker JBL audio system in the top-variants of the Fortuner.

The premium sound system was available in the Fortuner 4×4 and Legender 4×4 variants. It has now been replaced with a 6-speaker sound system, similar to other variants.

That being said, prices of the Fortuner remain unchanged. The 4×2 variants start at Rs 32.59 lakh, while the base price of the Fortuner 4×4 is Rs 38.93 lakh (ex-showroom). The Legender is priced at Rs 42.82 lakh and Rs 46.54 lakh for the 4×2 and 4×4 variants, respectively. The GR Sport remains the most expensive trim with a price tag of Rs 50.34 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Toyota Fortuner is available with two engine options. These include a 2.7-litre petrol that makes 164 BHP and 245 Nm, paired with either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic and a 2.8-litre diesel engine that produces 201 BHP and 420 Nm / 500 Nm.

The reason behind the deletion of the JBL audio system remains a mystery. Whether it will be reintroduced at a later date remains to be seen.
