According to a top executive’s statement on Friday, Toyota plans to introduce 10 new battery electric vehicle models by the year 2026. The Japanese automaker is making this move in an effort to catch up to and compete with other significant participants in the electric vehicle market. Hiroki Nakajima, Toyota’s chief technology officer, revealed that the company intends to introduce 10 new battery electric car models by 2026 at a briefing on the strategy under new CEO Koji Sato.
Recall that the Toyota Fortuner is a popular huge SUV in India with a sizable fan base among SUV fans. The 2023 Fortuner Modellista and the 2023 GR Sport are two new Fortuner variants that Toyota debuted at the Bangkok Motor Show in 2023. The Fortuner faithful are likely to be quite interested in these new options, which will also raise the bar for large SUVs overall.

The vehicle’s sporty features are enhanced with the Modellista aftermarket kit, enabling a more personalised appearance and feel. Customers can anticipate a high-quality product that offers an unmatched level of creativity and top-notch customisation choices given Modellista’s experience and popularity in Japan, which is demonstrated by its remarkable sales figures.

The Fortuner GR Sport, which was created by Toyota Gazoo Racing, is intended to provide improved driving performance and elevate the car to new heights.
