Toyota Fortuner [2012-2016] User Reviews

I've had the 2012 Fortuner model till date and was looking forward to the rebirth of this legend. Looks may be subjective, and the space has better, maybe a few featured added on. But, the fortuner used to be known as a muscular car, ensuring you were the one first off the line. It's nimble behavior was amazing. Bit the pick up was up to the mark, the engine Powerfull, while the AMT is smooth and may deliver more milege. Engine Is good . In this day and age dual airbags should be standard across all variants. These things improve your driving experience. Yes the interiors are ok-2 and Toyota need does a work on that, yet the third row seat lack rear/front adjustable head rests ans space. From a view of safety and comfort falls short. All in all not the good experience in my opinion, but I am sure that some will truly appreciate it for various other reasons. The price was also a little higher for my liking.But off-road driving fortuner make proud of me.Overall fortuner is one of the best SUV in market.

This Indian version of fortuner is neither a compct SUV  like RAV4 nor a large size SUV like LAND CRUISER200  or SEQUOIA but it is a NEW CONCEPT SUV  .It has balance of URBAN IMAGE and to be RUGGED and TOUGH. It seems that it is an economic version of Land Cruiser PRADO . And yet it is more refined , stylish and beautiful than Prado and  that too  with  without any compromise in ruggedness , power and strength !

In some southeast asian markets the Landcruiser Prado is offered  with simlar 3. 0 litre diesel engine (1KZ-TE) which has output of 178PS(131KW)  which is just 7PS more than Indian fortuner.(fortuner has 171PS) but has the same Torque of 343Nm (fortuner also has torque of 343Nm ).The body dimensions , suspension , gearbox etc are also very much close to that of Fortuner. But the fortuner is more than 40% cheaper than Prado ! Of course Prado has rear ventilated disc brakes where as Fortuner has rear drum brakes.But still the fortuner is much more cheaper.

The noise and vibration reducton technology is amazing. Moreover this D-4D diesel engine of fortuner has a pleasing sound frequency. When one is on a very long drive this feature makes a huge difference.You never feel that your car has a diesel engine. In the Mid size category  the fortuner is the best all purpose SUV in Indian market. I will be able to share more information after I have had test drive.

 

more refined , stylish and yet rugged and powerfulmore expensive

This car is mind blowing nothing is compared with this . I feel always Wonderful when I drive this car . It's luxurious in its calss. The most important part is it's driving that's very nice

Exterior Look better than ford endeavour,it looks like costly car but ford endavour lokks not good as compare to fortuner.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Touch screen is very nice,8 seater,and it is toyota car obbiously it would be very comfortable,there are buttons on sterring wheel to connect with bluetooth,slow volume etc.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox is superb. fuel econmy is very less ie 8-10.engune perfomance is vry nice when we put foot on accelerator it rocks. I have automatic fortuner and it change gear so softly that we dont feel we are driving so smooth excellent.

Ride Quality & Handling It handling is perfect. if you want to know that what is power sterrring then drive drive toyota fortuner you willl observe that is real power steering.

Final Words If you are confused between endeavour and fortuner i tell you foryuner is better than endeavour but fortuner is costly than it also if you  have budget between 18-26 buy fortuner.

Details about looks, performance etc: if i tell about the looks of this car be like mascular ???? the performance is ultimate the action perform by airbag is very fastly and it is excellent.
Servicing and maintenance: In this range of SUV take very high service and requirements of maintenance is very hugh but in fortuner, it takes low service and low maintenance and it is really good.
Pros and Cons: I love everything in this car infact i was thinking to sell this car and purchase again it in new model of 2019 but the one thing which i really don't like and it is no sunroof in any model and now everyone wants sunroof is the even e some company give sunroof in 13- 15lakh range cars but in fortuner there is no sunroof and it is a big minuse point for fortuner. i think Toyota have to take decision on it as soon as possible.
