[@dhruvthakran1636]

No matter how good endeavour is, Fortuner has gained a huge name

[@TLOIAcademy]

Anyone else got this recommended again in 2021?

[@vipin7834]

It is my dream car in future

[@aviralhlt]

No matter however it is, it will continue to sell more than the Ford Endeavour!

[@aviralhlt]

+Aditya Sawant How can you say that?!

[@aviralhlt]

How do you know?

[@aviralhlt]

I am talking about India

[@aviralhlt]

Well time will tell!

[@libra.42]

+Aviral Pandey ford endeavour has took over fortuner on it's horn , and this new one is much ugly than old one

[@ramesesleviel5513]

I am seriously reconsidering getting the 4runner. I love this

[@bimosalexandres]

i'm indonesian and already upgrading to this latest 2016 fortuner since february, replacing my old 2009 fortuner (2.5 diesel). here several points that i can mention to you : (+) improvement : - design (but this really depends on the personal taste, beauty is in the eye of the beholder) but for me the rear and side of this latest fortuner are really georgeous... -much better refinement (NVH overall much better, the interior is now whisper-quite compared to previous gen rugged,harsh and noisy fortuner interior. The engine when idle is also very silent from interior it's even hard to tell that it's a diesel from inside when idle.. different story when you pushed it hard from the stop, cruising in the highway at 100-140km/h is relaxing and quite though ) -better ride comfort (still not as plush as a Camry or even a Prado) but to me, overall it feels like the new fortuner has 40% softer ride than previous car (no more bone-jarring at low speed) yet it still felt very stable at 180km/h speed just like its predecessor -much better interior (more plush/luxury feel) the seats are now much much much better cushioned and has better support too.. feels like a bargain land-cruiser...kudo to toyota for the interior job.. since they also adding real leather ornaments onto several parts of the interior (particulary the dashboard and center console) - better "gimmick". Now the new Fortuner has some "fancy-toys" like a luxury suv... such as power back door, alphard-like speedometer and MID cluster design, all-Led interior lights, cooler box for drinks, digital rear ac, welcome-light under doors mirros,etc. (-) drawback : - engine power (while the 2.4 new diesel offers 150hp, 400Nm figure compared to the previous gen's 2.5 diesel 144 hp, 350nm) but the increased extra power doesnt felt really noticeable since the new fortuner is also significantly bigger and heavier than its predecessor, eventhough never felt underpowered or lack of power in most situation ... - significantly more expensive.. (maybe due to the extra gimmick, better NVH, etc) and now is the worst drawback compared to the previous gen fortuner! - LACK OF CABIN SPACE! due to more comfortable,bolder cushioned & bigger seats, now the interior space is never felt as vast or spacious as my old foruner.. and what makes it even worse is the fact that now the interior is offered in black-only color which makes you feel even more cramped inside (it used to be offered in beige color which makes the interior felt airy and more spacious)... and now the 3rd no longer comfortable for adults more than 165cm height.. (i really remember the previous gen fortuner 3rd row is spacious enough to fit 173-175cm adults)

[@bimosalexandres]

sorry maybe too long. but the conclusion is that i've never regret my decision to replacing my old fortuner with this 2016 fortuner model, a much better (and more premium) suv over-all compared to my previous Fortuner.

[@KelvinReiChannel]

never consider the pajero sport?

[@JoeEnjoyment]

cabin space. if its everything in a car for me. its cabin space. if what you say is true. then im off for the everest. thanks for your opinion.

[@bimosalexandres]

+Kelvin i considered it once but the resale value of fortuner is much better than pajero sport, here in my country... after 5 years of use, i can still get 50% the price of new price (for example, buying fortuner in 2009 for 38.000$, and sell it in 2014 for 19.000$), different story with pajero sport, i can only get 35-40% of the new car price after 5 years.. regardless the resale value, i personally think new pajero sport is better all-rounder compared to new fortuner (specially in term of driving dynamic, seating position (much more ergonomic for driving position compared to fortuner), ride quality and perfomance) but in term of luxury-feels (interior material & build quality) and gadget-gimmick fortuner win hands down.. it has several fancy-suv-ish gimmick such as power back door, leather covered dashboard, dashboard cool box and digital climate control AC for the rear passangers (oh yeah, and better design too specially for the rear)

[@ansari61301]

give me date of its launch

[@prof.ln.mjf.dr.rajeelakshm1942]

[@aswinjyothis9056]

My dad was planning to take this car....but this not yet released in India...I loved this car

[@merahputihindonesia1685]

luxurious exterior n interior.. in my opinion fortuner is the best big suv

[@kingfisher111]

Check the New Ford Endeavor first...

[@merahputihindonesia1685]

+kingfisher111 yes i already saw it but i am still say that fortuner is really better

[@rajat2jain]

Ford Endeavour seems to be a much better choice as the 2200cc version of the endeavour seems a much spirited car than the fortuner .However Toyota has legendary reliability which Ford can never match .

[@ponygt6629]

+Rajat Jain Well the new Endevour is now in market and I hope we all must give ita chance before finalizing on reliability of Ford

[@rajat2jain]

Ponygt 662 Ford cars are awesome but After Sales & service is a big issue in India

[@ponygt6629]

Rajat Jain Its not a big issue as some have been claiming to be, I own a Ford and its been fantastic experience far better than Maruti experience So its not like its bad to be avoided,its as good or better than Hyundai,but not as good as Honda,Toyota,Maruti overall, Still the superiority of the product cannot be completely avoided due to weaker after sales I guess.

[@rajat2jain]

Ponygt 662 After Sales & Service can kill a very good product . Volkswagen Polo is a solidly built car but extremely poor After Sales & Service killed it . If something breaks down in your mechanical masterpiece the service centre should be able to fix it , that's not the case with FORD . Also the spares are very hard to come by & extremely costly .

[@ponygt6629]

Rajat Jain Again that used to be the case with older Fords, now the newer Fords post 2010 is way better than what it used to be, Ford also has 25 retail spares and parts seller other than service centres in India, so one can always check price of parts as well, Also service costs and time has significantly reduced since 2010, The brand is haunted by its past horror stories, Thats Y I wrote b4, lets give em a chance, because as of now they ve changed a lot and we Indians dont give em a chance to prove them

[@Elouaii]

Which is better looking colour on the fortuner, *freedom white* or *pearl white*? Correct me if im wrong but why is the pearl white more expensive?

[@Justin-dd5gp]

I just bought the 2018 verison of the Fortuner..pretty cool but I dont like the seats, the very back seats that fold up

[@aakritkalbhor2792]

Endeavour must be good in terms of features but fortuned is hard core suv

[@himanshusingla5457]

i think after watching ford endeavour review & new fotruner... it seems endeavour is better in all aspects

[@avneet2006]

Well said

[@dyong28]

Maybe. Except that the Endeavour is drop dead ugly and will not be as reliable as Toyota. The boxy and unrefine physical appearance is a pity.

[@kumaranandraj269]

Ford cars are unreliable...And toyota has set a benchmark in reliability

[@gowthamsaivelagapudi1388]

AUTO CAR introduction is nice

[@sun288]

is it confirmed it is coming this diwali....heard it got postponed...any firm reports on the launch date....thx

[@medhanshdasari4578]

Can you guys do a comparison test of the 2016 Endeavour and 2016 Fortuner

[@itsatharvapatil]

When will 2018 model will be released?? And what would be the difference and new things??

[@vipulkumar3959]

Would be good to have a head-to-head between the new Fortuner & Endeavor! Its out there is all foreign channels, please have it done for Indian versions as well!

[@ashbrash6003]

[@inder911]

[@shakir4969]

nope. its not... same price coming

[@ashbrash6003]

mohd shakir hahaha bro just wait and see.. its coming for 30 lakh.. already launched in Singapore

[@adityasundar324]

Yeah! Absolutely true. When they can price innova crysta at 20L, this will for sure be priced at 30L.

[@abhijeetnil]

How is the Fortuner 2.8 4x2 MT? It does not even have ESP and Brake assist. Also I want to know wether the 4X2 Manual Diesel Fortuner has ATRAC, i.e. Active Traction control? Kindly guide me and give your views on wether buying a 2.8 4X2 Manual Fortuner without ESP and Brake assist will be OK and safe. Thank you Awaiting for your response Regards

[@adnanmohammed2239]

When is this car launching in india?

[@muhammadsuryoagunglaksono6136]

Is it in indonesia??😃

[@ansari61301]

its launched in south eastern Asia, Australia and even middle eastern countries, so when it gonna launch in India

[@yash9410503314]

[@ansari61301]

still not yet launched is there any latest update about this suv

[@yash9410503314]

ansari ansar 7th November launch

[@joelallwyn]

while people buy the fortuner mostly for its rugged & built looks, I don't think it has enough going in terms of performance & power to justify its higher 5-6 lakhs price point over the Innova.

[@RajGheevarghese]

Excellent review!, insightful and well scripted, good job!

[@armaan78645]

Man do I wish Toyota made this car available in the US. It looks fantastic! ☺

[@harshiljoshi]

+Armaan Tondon for real dude !? we have far better looking highlander and 4runner! but i respect your opinion though! have a good one!

[@justinsantos5751]

That car is not safe, not safe enough for US standards.

[@dontusehername]

With the 2000cc+ diesel vehicle ban in Delhi (a major market for luxury SUVs), what is the point of this launch?

[@rajatsingh-bg8rv]

to sell it in rest of the states :p

[@dontusehername]

rajat singh Clearly, but the ban could extend to other states in near future. The future of diesel vehicles looks bleak in India, better switch to petrol/ hybrid/ electric/ CNG.

[@Imperial791]

@@dontusehername how is diesel ban looking aftee two years!!?

[@fundiver198]

I think, Toyota should reconsider their policy of only offering the 2,8 liter engine in the 4WD model. Several motoring journalists have already complained, that the 2,4 liter feel a bit sluggish when mated to the automatic gearbox. The 2,8 liter engine would likely solve that problem and bring the power for the 2WD models in line with competitors like the Pajero Sport.

[@utkarshchaudhary387]

Best in class....Best SUV, Best brand name

please do a comparison between new fortuner, new endeavour and trialblazer

[@yoaabjohn5723]

New Fortuner is nice but first model was awesome

[@hrushikeshrangu279]

looks good but can it beat the ford endeavour it is a question but it has improved in all the ways but i think it is better to own a ford

In India, you can find Fortuner with every politician however small he/she is. Guess it is the best car money can buy for Indian conditions...

[@varunmenon7887]

it wouldnt be just to root one's opinion about the vehicle on interiors or ride quality based on an SE Asia launch (much like what you did with the crysta); through kirloskar, toyota does seem determined to open its doors to customers in india who are seeking a vehicle with global standards or shall i say the toyota standard. cheers.

[@isheetakaur2798]

plz do a comparison video bw endeavour and fortuner!!

[@kapilreang4621]

Please kindly Toyota company.. Increase width dimensions of fortuner because being a big and bulky SUV fortuner didn't provide individual arm rest in front driver and co driver seats unlike the Indian suv scorpio and safari offer individual arm rest in front driver and co driver seats... Please notice it

[@vish_010]

Ford Endeavour seems more promising - Better interiors - Easy fold power seats third row - More power - All terrain modes - Wider power band - Better vehicle dynamics, especially around corners But a head to head will settle the battle On the other hand, no wonder this will more based on the trend it has set in the market :)

[@sreeragbk4197]

Why does an SUV have paddle shifters? paddle shifts works best with double clutch DSG gearbox (supercar stuff).

[@rajvaswani7878]

Nothing as such. Paddle shifters are more of an add on to any automatic transmission vehicle so that the feel of changing gears via paddle shifters gives the driver more sense of driving a manual car.

[@sreeragbk4197]

Essence of manual transmission with a paddle shifter, seriously. What's wrong with the stick shift.
