Don't buy

Never buy any Jeep product that is not fit for Indian customers, lacks service, stud down dealers, is extremely high maintenance, and has the worst real value. I'm already an existing user. Good to drive is the only reason, go for XUV 700, mg, best will Toyota, Tata you regret and suffer after 2 years of this JEEP, thankyou

Dangerous beast

It was very comfortable and looks like a great dangerous bull. I was very thankful to tayota for releasing this great beast. I felt very comfortable with this car and it was very nice

Toyota Fortuner 3.0-litre 4x4 AT

By Desirazu Venkat10 Mar 2015

SUVs seem to be the mantra chanted by car buyers everywhere and their presence is being felt up and down the segments. What is it that attracts us to these breed of vehicles? It is the simple fact that they exude street credibility that no hatchback or sedan can ever offer. Their menacing presence means everyone gets the hell out of their way.
