    New SUV Fortuner sets sales chart on fire

    Toyota’s new SUV Toyota Fortuner is setting the sales chart on fire these days. In the compact mid-SUV segment that comprises of strong contenders such as Honda CR-V, Ford Endeavour, Mitsubishi Pajero and GM’s Captiva, Toyota seems to have set it's place on the top. In a period of 30 days after the Toyota Fortuner launch, Toyota Kirloskar Motor received bookings for 7,000 vehicles, which is roughly 10 times more than what the other companies sold collectively in the month of August this year. Compared to 129 vehicles in August last year, Honda sold 77 CR-Vs during the same month this year. It is also heard that Honda is contemplating launching a diesel powered Honda CR-V with a 2.2L I-CTDi engine, but a HSCI spokeswoman said that such plans have not been implemented.
