The new faclifted 2012 model Toyota Fortuner is powered by 3.0-litre common-rail diesel motor @ 169 bhp.This is the same motor used by Toyota Prado and Land Cruiser.Toyota is also planning to launch an automatic model also in 2012 in india.They also introduced a system called “Diamond Tech” that allows the 32-bit ECU to more precisely detect operating conditions within the injection system, improving fuel efficiency. New injectors feature a new “diamond-like” carbon coating that makes the process more efficient, as well as lengthening the life of the injectors and related combustion process components. The variable-geometry turbo also sees its relationship with the ECU improved, for a faster flow of more detailed information.

One can see a lot of Fortuners in the city these days and most of them hardly go off-roading, the two-wheel drive variant then definitely has the potential to be the highest selling variant. The new Fortuner may not be all-new but it does sport newer variants and changes that make it look distinctly bolder and even more upscale.

The new Fortuner will be unveiled at the Auto Expo in Delhi and will be launched by January 2012. Prices are expected to be the same for the existing variant and expect a similar price for the automatic transmission since there is no four-wheel drive offered

Kingfisher to get $ 47 million loan from Sahara (India)

 According to IBN Live report, the Sahara group will give a loan of more than 2.5 billion rupees to cash-strapped Kingfisher Airlines, to help the carrier continue operations, the media reported on Saturday, citing sources.

Kingfisher, India's third largest airline by market share, has been struggling to raise funds to continue operations and repay debt.

The carrier, majority-owned by Vijay Mallya controlled UB group, has a debt of about 65 billion rupees and its creditors have asked the airline to raise at least $ 160 million in equity.

"We neither confirm nor deny speculation," Ravi Nedungadi, group chief financial officer and president of UB Group, was quoted as saying in the report.

Early this year, the Sahara group invested $ 100 million in Force India for a 42.5 per cent stake and now co-owns the Formula One motor racing team with Kingfisher Airlines Chairman Vijay Mallya.

Spokesmen for both Kingfisher Airlines and Sahara group declined to comment on the report when contacted.
