Both these models enjoying their sweet time in market just because of the fact that the best in this segment got eradicated from India!!! FORD ENDEAVOUR

to be honest , there is no as such convincing reason to buy a fortuner. Apart from looks , whatever it's offering, is something we wanted back in 2012 or so. Toyota should look forward to add features in its car and make it refined like its competitors

1.Very sad to see an Indian customer pay almost 62 Lakhs for a Fortuner????? I would happily get a BMW 2 Series/Mercedes-Benz CLA + Baleno/i20! 2.Most owners of the Toyota are simply bad drivers who use the size of their car to intimidate and harass others. Don't forget that horrible full beam. 3. The Ford Endeavour actually was the true king. 4. The Meridian does stand out. Nice to see a Meridian or a C5 Aircross instead of the ice cream cart Fortuner. 5. I think both cars would be better options as used vehicles. 6. Such a shame to see the Fortuner with an interior like that. It seriously let's the car down. Deeply disappointing but not surprising. 7. The Indian customer wants value for money and safety. We don't want cars that are overpriced and not worth it. The Meridian is a much better deal.

Having owned both albeit the smaller version of the jeep I feel compelled to put in my two bits, I drive to Manali every month from delhi and I use both the jeep and fortuner alternatively. The Toyota is definitely more robust and takes the shellacking a lot better than the jeep over the rough stuff ladder frame having a distinct advantage over monocoque however it’s a lot more luxurious in the jeep and more fun than in the Toyota i have done roughly 50000 on both machines and they are both in immaculate condition i love them both but if I had a gun to my head I’d pick the jeep

This is why I think FCA will exit the market in the future because they simply cant compete in a market that is driven by sales volume. I bought my first car (Jeep Compass) a few months ago and was pretty shocked by the margins manufactures make. The below is the breakup Original Car value: 14.5 Lakhs Manufacturer margin: 50K Showroom margin: 1 Lakh Car Value before tax: 16 Lakhs CGST: 2.3 lakhs SGST:2.3 lakhs Cess: 2.8 lakhs Road Tax on Ex showroom(Total of above): 4.71 lakhs (19,98% PS: Bangalore can well and trully f*ck off ) On Road: 29 lakhs Note: For any car related service. There is practically nothing that's below 18% GST category, Spares are 24 %, labor is 18% etc.

Toyota charges a hefty unwarranted premium just for the kind of demand it has. It is counter intuitive that more demand in turn results in steeper price which ideally should have been cheaper(because of economy of scale).
@jayeshmv2 жыл бұрын
Damn, Toyota looks like it came back from time, looks at least like a 10 year old car. Can't imagine people pay almost 50 lacs for this. Start calling out Toyota for taking Indian customers for a ride.
@mss54602 жыл бұрын
The only thing with meridian is it's dimensions it looks classy and premium but that lower height gives a perception of smaller car hence people would eventually think it's not a mid size suv like fortuner. If only this car had bigger dimensions kind of like mg gloster then it would happen pretty nice to look at and people would have paid that much money for this car because that size would be a sign of reliability in people's perception.

The people who buy Fortuner and Meridian has a complete different requirements . Having a 2015 Fortuner in garage, i would like to share what are the requirements of people who go for fortuner. 1) Space, Fortuner’s 3rd row is decent and you can put 7 people in that car if needed. 2) They just want a car which will take whatever you throw at it. They don’t need a car of which they have to worry about weather to take it somewhere or not. 3) Something big always feels better on highways when there are all the big trucks going around. 4) They already have other 1 or 2 cars lying in their garage for city and ocassional highway purpose

Jeep had an opportunity to customize the space for India but decided to keep cost play to compete. What they dont realize is, to dethrone Fortuner, and attract this segment, you need to be the best !!!

Hi Gavin, great comparo. Congratulations. Why didn’t you include MG Gloster here for comparison?

I guess it would have been a even comparo. Thank you 😊

So true I have Jeep Compass since 4 years, did think about service outlets before I bought, it was 30km away from house even that is closed, now it’s 70km they charge 1200 to pick up the car sometimes ask for 1500 plus tip the driver even to replace wipers I had to spend 1500 for pick 5500 wipers 1000 labour plus 200 tip and my fuel cost, parts r not available anywhere other than service centre, the reason I’m keep it is it gives a great driving experience, the day I find a suv which would match this I’ll sell in a wink. I have a harrier too which the driver drives I got zero issues very less maintaining, just that the drive is not as good as a Jeep. Please don’t buy a fortuner Toyota insulting Indian car buyer sensibilities boycott it. Toyota have great products but they don’t get them to India.

The Meridian is obviously catered towards older people who don't care about Butch macho looks and want sedate drive and Mile Munching with off-road to an estate or some mud at best. The Fortuner however, is for buyer who wants to show they have the bigger car and reliable too. And especially the KZbin commenters and 3rd tier cities and villages.

The problem with product like Jeep meridian not competing is not because its a bad car by specs or luxury. The major problem is that the product is not consistent. Many people had to tow their new jeep compasses to service center due to multiple failure. That is really irritating for any consumer purchasing a 40 lakh Product. That is where toyota shines. I know its toooo costly and doesn't justify the specs. But one dont need to go too and fro to service stations every now and then.
