Superb (also Fortuner v Endeavour tickling the brains)

Hi,

READ ALL REVIEWS BUT BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Best car in its class. The only far off competition is the New Endeavour and the Pajero. But still the Fortuner is miles ahead. It would be wrong to compare this beauty with the Captiva, Vitara, CRV.

This site has a feature called compare cars, please refer to that.

There is no doubt the Fortuner's performance will speak for itself.

The interiors could be spruced up a bit. But the overall performance would compensate for that.

Read a lot of reviews written by you guys. 95% of the guys want to buy this car at 12 to 13 Lakhs. Well I would suggest please get the Innova and be happy AND please DONT write biased views.

Those of you really looking for a great SUV this is it in the price band of 19 to 22 Lakhs.

I am sure most true car lovers would agree me me.

Need any other help please let me know

New Endeavour vs the Fortuner

The new endeavour is like old wine in old bottle with a NEW label and cork.

The cosmetic changes have been made to the car for eg the New bumper, new Headlamps, Taillights, The tyre cover and the MOSt important AUTO transmission.

The engines are almost the same cc.

Both are 4 wheel drive (Fortuner All time 4 wheel) Endeavour is optional 4 wheel drive with variable ratios in both the SUVs.

Height: The Fortuner is taller than the Endeavour

Lenght: The Endeavour is longer than the Fortuner

Width: The Fortuner is broader than the Endeavour.

Price wise not much to choose from roughly about 75000/- (the Endeavour being cheaper than the Fortuner with some plus and minus features). BUT it wont bother those planning to spend 20 LAKHS.

The dash board of the Fortuner has a better look than the Endeavour in terms of display .

Climate control and steering control buttons are absent in the endeavour, the fortuner scores here having both.

Also the multi display is absent in the Endeavour, the speedometer display looks much better in the Fortuner).

I personally found it easier to get in and out of the Fortuner compared to the Endeavour.

Getting in the middle row is a problem with tall people in the endeavour as you are sure to bang your head against the top.

The last row seating of the fortuner is much better than the Endeavour , sitting in the endeavour last row gives a feeling of sitting on the floor.

The moment you step inside the the cars you start to feel the difference (it would depend on person to person)

The fortuner gives you a comfortable feel as to the endeavour. The fortuner being slightly wider than the endeavour gives you a feeling of more room in the cabin.

The length of the endeavour being longer makes no difference to the leg room in all the three rows.

Sitting in the drivers seat feels better and safer thanks to the height of the Fortuner.

The all round view even while reversing is better in the Fortuner.

Parking would be a problem for both the cars in city. But for the endeavour it would be more due to the rather big tyre cover at the back and the turning radius(Endeavour takes more space to turn).

The music system sounds better and is better in the Endeavour which also has a DVD player. Well for fortuner lovers you can always have them fitted.

Auto gear box is a plus for city driving which the endeavour has, but would take away the thrills on the highway. All the talks of these cars being unstable to a certain extent at high speeds are not applicable in INDIA, do we have the roads to drive at 150kmps? 

A fully laden Endeavour tends to droop at the rear due to the extra lenght of the car. (not a pleasant sight on the road)

If one wants an automatic and longish looking SUV the Endeavour is your baby.

If one wants a commanding SUV then Forutuner is the right choice baby.

Pick up of the Fortuner is much better than the Endeavour.

As far as mileage is concerned Fortuner would have its nose a little bit ahead.

Ratings as far as I am concerned on a scale of 1 to 10

ENDEAVOUR ......7

FORTUNER.......9

Well guys see and drive both the cars for your satisfaction. People are talking of this SUV and that SUV should have been introduced by Toyota or Ford at a certain price, Friends take what you have as both are frontline SUVs.

Have you ever seen these bizare comments by people for the Mercedes BMW or AUDI as to they should do this and do that.

Have the money enjoy it dont crib.
