Toyota Fortuner Owner Review - Worth Buying the Old Model in 2021?

[@yoursandeeprao]

Finally, we have a scientific car reviewer in India. What a video!! Hats off sir :)

[@TechnologyRig]

Thank you Sandeep again for your kind words! 🙏

[@rakeshgarg6828]

Fully agree , I was engaged and glued to my seat like watching a blockbuster movie 😂👍🏻

[@tsepheltenzin7165]

The only 30 minutes auto review i sat through completely. Clean flow, clarity and factual review.

I am British, but I live in Argentina and I must say this is the best review I have seen on this vehicle. It is a best seller in Argentina too. Thank you, and very well done!

[@Mrrio69]

Even if it’s an old video, I’m here in 2023. The only video which has caught my eye for every second. I was looking for an in depth review as I’m looking to buy a pre owned in 2023 and this video has completely stood out and has boosted me 100 times more than I was to go for a pre owned fortuner😆 Automatic 4x4🥵🥵

[@michaelr.3799]

The most comprehensive review I have come across. Living in Thailand it's not easy to find a review on these in English, particularly on the older model and from a long term ownership perspective. Much appreciated.

[@TechnologyRig]

Thailand is actually full of them! So I assume they would make a great used buy!

[@hilsaamrav]

im planning to buy a used 2015 or 2016 Fortuner and this review was amazing. Helped me out a lot. Thanks for this, you deserve more subs!

[@aviralhlt]

Felt like a quality TeamBHP user experience read. Excellent review!

[@anandmehta2323]

Beautifully done video. The data, the way its presented. The objective unbiased narrative. It was 31 minutes well spent

[@wickler6098]

This is well delivered review! Thank you very much! You really helped me decide to get the 1st gen fortuner!

[@ivanparker8039]

One of the best reviews I’ve ever seen on the previous gen Fortuner. Being a Fortuner owner myself I could relate to most of the points being highlighted. Would love to see more such videos 👍

[@n.r.d7870]

The best information on Toyota Fortuner I have come across from any source in India. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge of the car in detail.

This is by far the best and most thorough review of any car I have seen on KZbin yet! Hats off to you sir.

[@atulSingh-fo3xv]

Best car review of my life . I am amazed wth your in depth technical insight n command over language . Only team bhp hv ppl matching yr auto intellect.

[@ramjemanish]

You nailed the review by touching all corners, from being optimistic to sharing the negatives and parallel comparisons with others..

[@LandCruiserChronicles]

Wonderfully articulated review. Here's my experience. The Fortuner has been my obsession since it's launch in India. I should say it was the motivation behind my life choices so I can claim mine. I didn't flinch to buy a 2nd owner car which clocked 95k kms. I got a general report from Toyota service centre and it was all good to go. My 2017 4x4 AT gives me 11.5 in the city and 14 kmpl on highways. I test it regularly between every filling. It depends on how light footed you're on the throttle. Maintain the revs below 1500 rpm, in Eco mode, in 2wd, and you will be surprised by the fuel efficiency. Sure, that kind of snail paced driving (under 40 in city and 90 on highways) is not for everyone. Also, the ride gets significantly comfortable when it's in full occupancy of 7 passengers and luggage in the boot. Overall, this is a machine I trust with my life.

[@cbrcoder]

Based on your feedback - I got new Fortuner Facelift 2021 - delivered last week - really loving it. Thank you for thorough review :).

[@TechnologyRig]

Thank you so much for your kind words, enjoy your new purchase! I have driven the new facelift version and loved it, so great choice!

[@utpalwailong5023]

Just recently became a Fortuner owner. Yet to become fully familiar with the machine. Your video has given a conceptual understanding of the brand and the engineering behind it. Found it enlightening. Thank you

[@rajk7128]

U r an eye opener & down to earth car analyst sir. Love to hear more from U on Fortuner upkeep, tips on buying. My appreciation fr yr details.

first time i saw your fortuner review video on another channel and finally came across your own channel, hope to watch more videos on Toyota's especially qna videos.

Thank you for your kind words! I'm steering this to be a tech channel, so not focussing on automotive content. But also planning to do automotive content on another channel. Do stay connected!

[@scottmoseley5122]

nice review! been driving a 2.4L 2016 model for 5 years in the Philippines. I bought the V series which is all leather deluxe version 2 WD. This review is spot on.. I have and still love this vehicle. .. I will add though that I am disappointed with the the drivers side carpeting wear .. even and also the the drivers side seat has developed a tear where the drivers hip always brushes upon entering. Also the the sorry mapping system is useless and cant be updated. And strange that it has no power seats or tilt wheel or passenger side controls. the wife wants to control windows and and locks all around.. and she should! Just now replaced front disk pads and rotor at 50K. The ABS warning light went off 2 days before scarring on the rotor .. so my bad for not replacing immediately could have saved me over $100.00 USD. Great car!

[@TechnologyRig]

Thanks Scott and your observations are spot on! The wear points you mention are usual Toyota bugbears and my older 80 Series Land Cruiser had these issues too, but that was 23 years old! The ICE system is certainly pre-historic and it's only with this year's models that they have finally added Apple Carplay and Android Auto! Enjoy yours!

Great car!!! Very reliable , been driving in hilly terrain and really bad roads for a year now. No suspension issues, great engine. Only the seats squeaks and the airbag clock spring is the only major issue!

[@TechnologyRig]

What’s the clock spring issue you are facing? Interested to know..

[@abhishekkhewa8191]

@@TechnologyRig - that particular component malfunctions and your horn gradually stops working. Next up the airbag lights come on and the buttons of your steering wheels stop working. Heard that it is common in Toyota cars in India. Cost around 13k to replace. Btw great video and thank you for such prompt reply. ( did not expect). I have a 2013 4w manual. Clocked around 1.5 lakhs km and still no major issues. I live in Sikkim and we got bad roads during monsoons.

A very comprehensive review. This is the best video I have come across from any source. Wanted to know if you would recommend buying a 10-year-old automatic (2013 Fortune 3.0) that has clocked 1.3L and the intention is to keep the fortune for another 10 years and use it every day.

Fantastic detailing and presentation. Great done Mr Ashish.

Amazing Review Sir....👏👏👏...please do post more auto reviews...You have explained and covered every aspect very well including pros and cons of the vehicle and gave a really great first hand owner's account of the vehicle....which is the experience that we require out of the reviews in order to get to understand the vehicle and your review was more worth watching and informative than most of the auto experts out there...whose reviews are either simply a PR job for the brand or, are being given from the perspective of a person who has had so much experience reviewing cars that in their minds they have simply forgotten that their review was intended for the layman and not for auto industry experts, hence from laymen perspective it makes no real sense or in other words, we can't really appreciate what the other person is really trying to convey... because in their mind they are comparing the car with several others they have driven like Mercedes, Porsche etc. and though they themselves are thinking that they have made a wonderful review, but in no way does it connect to us...your review on the other hand simply struck a cord...and therefore was even more worth watching... please continue the good job sir...

[@compaq4810]

@@TechnologyRig Driveability and Comfort of Hexa against New fortuner. 2.) Any known issues with Hexa . 3.) Is the Hexa a full fledged offroader like the Fortuner or a softroader at best?. Thank you for your time

[@TechnologyRig]

Hexa is a really comfortable vehicle but it’s not an SUV. Tata tried to pitch it as one and as a direct competitor to the Fortuner. I see it more as an alternative to the Innova. In that sense it is not an Offroader, it does have modes borrowed from Land Rover but I wouldn’t take it for any kind of serious offroading. It will be very comfortable over broken roads etc. In terms of quality it is a giant leap over older Tata vehicles such as the Safari, and the fit and finish is in line with this and very good. Unfortunately niggling issues remain, and I have seen a few with leaking intercoolers, faulty power steering pumps etc if driven hard. Also the aircon can be unreliable sometimes. It’s hard to recommend it unless you get it for a throwaway price used.

[@compaq4810]

Hi I'm looking for reverse parking sensor for my 2013 innova 2.5 v from a genuine Toyota showroom or from elsewhere only thing is that it should not look like aftermarket you are a very will known knowledgeable person please replay

[@TechnologyRig]

You can certainly get them from the showroom but they will cost a lot more than going to a good aftermarket dealer. Most accessories for these Toyotas are available in Thailand and Dubai regions, so there is a good selection available in the aftermarket. Just choose a reputable installer. Obviously with parking sensors, the bumper will need to be drilled, but a competent installer can do this easily. If you still want to go to a main dealer, they also have an accessory section that can sort this out for you.

Not good for fuel consumption that is what I feel. Please do a review or comparison on ford endeavor and Mitsubishi pajero sport.. Nice work👍

Great review, also a unique way of explaining. Sir the question is, is it worth buying a 2014 model fortuner which has done 1.3 Lakh km or should I buy the new scorpio n

[@TechnologyRig]

It is really difficult to find good condition fortuners that have not been clocked. If you can find one in good condition, you cannot go wrong with a Fortuner. The Scorpio N will feel much more modern though as it has electric power steering. The best way is to drive both back to back and then decide.
