Powertrain
The same 2.8 diesel with a 48V helping hand: smoother starts, quieter idle stops and energy back under braking, though Toyota puts no number on the economy gain

What the Neo Drive Diesel Mild Hybrid AT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the Neo Drive Diesel Mild Hybrid AT comes to ₹46,44,648 on the road in Ahmedabad and ₹53,34,768 in Kochi.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹6,90,120 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Gujarat, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹43.12L ex-showroom Delhi this is the sixth of 9 Fortuner variants by price, ₹20,000 above the Legender Diesel AT. Neo Drive is sold this one way, as the Diesel Mild Hybrid 6-speed torque-converter auto. Stepping up to Legender 4x4 from here starts at ₹1.96L more and buys sequential indicators and ambient lighting, though it gives up wireless phone charger. Worth knowing that the Legender 4x4 is not sold with the Diesel Mild Hybrid with the 6-speed torque-converter auto, so the move changes the powertrain too.

The 48V tech step on the 4x4 automatic: smoother starts, idle start-stop, Multi-Terrain Select and a wireless charger join the low-range hardware and JBL.
Toyota Fortuner Neo Drive: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Toyota Fortuner Neo Drive Diesel Mild Hybrid AT?
- ₹43.12L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 6th of 9 by price, ₹20,000 above the Legender Diesel AT.
- What is the on-road price of the Toyota Fortuner Neo Drive Diesel Mild Hybrid AT?
- Expect ₹46,44,648 in Ahmedabad and ₹53,34,768 in Kochi. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹6,90,120 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Toyota Fortuner Neo Drive Diesel Mild Hybrid AT have?
- The Diesel Mild Hybrid, 204 PS, with the 6-speed torque-converter auto.
- What features does the Toyota Fortuner Neo Drive Diesel Mild Hybrid AT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: Terrain modes, Premium sound system (JBL), Hill descent control, Wireless phone charger, Airbags (7) and Electronic stability control.
- What does the Toyota Fortuner Neo Drive Diesel Mild Hybrid AT miss out on?
- The Legender 4x4 above it adds sequential indicators and ambient lighting, for ₹1.96L more. That is a different engine or gearbox though: the Legender 4x4 is not sold with this one. It would also cost you wireless phone charger and terrain modes, so it is not purely a step up.
- Is the Neo Drive the right Fortuner to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Toyota Fortuner which-variant page. The short version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
