Toyota Fortuner [2012-2016] User Reviews

FORTUNER 4 X 2 AT is very amazing car, I bought on 19th of december 2014 from uttam toyota. Waited for two years for decision to get this car. Unfortunately on 19th of january 2015 mrg this car got stolen from my home. Just wana aware u all regarding the security of this car if u plan to purchase it. Get to ur home only if u have space inside ur home to park.

Get all security devices fitted on the day of delivery. Thiefs know how to open and drive this car in 10 to 15 mins of time max.

The immobilzer in this car can get opened by thiefs either by laptop or duplicate keys made with original keys if u hand over at parking valet any unauthorised person.

Beware that all premium brand cars like bmw audi merc are not that easy to start due to multiple immobilizer installed. But these cars can be stolen easily due to high in demand outside urban areas.

Park ur car at safe place inside. No doubt the best car in this segment and price.

Superb style carLess secure

Exterior I got the Grey colour, looks good with dark grey alloy wheels.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space and comfort is good, have most of the feature the I need.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent pick up, good power, fuel economy is around 10 in city and 13 in highway which is ok for a 3000 cc Automatic car with almost 2 MT weight. 5 speed AT is good, it shifts in a smooth manner.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride Quality is good in smooth roads, but certain undulations filter through especialy at low speeds, Ride is excellent at high speeds. Handling is avarage but again this is a 2 MT ladder frame SUV.

Final Words Its a Good Car overall If you are looking for a car which you need to use for Long drives. Car is very very relaiable , built tough, excellent view of road, comfortable seats, good AC good ride quality at high speed, good automatic gear.

Ride quality over broken areas at low speed is bumpy. The hard suspension is good for high speed crusing

Areas of improvement Better braking, Better Sound insulation, Better low speed ride.

Excellent engine, space, string builtAverage Brake, handling

Buying experience: Perfect for a macho man. Short of words
Riding experience: Total beast a little bumpy but expected in a suv
Details about looks, performance etc: Aggressive as can be. Still better than most rivals
Servicing and maintenance: Toyota is perfect. Door to door service
Pros and Cons: Only pros. NO CONS. Brilliant car

As we can see the safety is the main moto of the company.company gave us 7 airbags for safety and this is comfortable for us for a family and others And there is also a solid classic body which has much stronger than any car in this range. And when we talk about look wise,in this category this car has a separate fanbase because it’s popularity is because of it’s body typeup.

Exterior The only best thing in Toyota Fortunar is its truly SUV robust look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Inside decor is well managed but the same is availble in Mahindra XUV at a much lower cost. Adjustable middle seats provide adequate leg room to the third row passengers comparing to other SUVs. Even at such a high priced SUV no navigation system is available which is standard to Mahindra XUV and Ford Endevour. Also DVD player does not work in driving mode. This is good for safety but then What for it is provided there? Why the passengers are deprived of enjoying dvd while travelling when they have paid for this.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Sound of the engine is too loud and even in all window closed condition you need to play the audio at a higher volume to suppress the engine sound.

I have mainly highway driving (NH5, Bhubaneswar Cuttack route) which is fairly a good patch without any major traffic. Even at a average speed range of 70 - 100 kmph , present milege is around 10 kmpl, may be little less than 10

Ride Quality & Handling Pick up is good when the vehicle is at a hogher speed range. but the major issue is speed acceleration from low or zero speed to higher speed. It takes significant time to speed up from 20 to 100 kmph. My vehicle is at second service and hoping to get it better after this service. Handling of the vehiclle even at 130 kmph is pretty smooth and comfortable.

Final Words Highly overpriced.

Areas of improvement Without any further price hike Toyota should provide GPS, seat back LCD as a standard feature. Engine sound needs to be reduced. Speed accelaration after braking needs to be improved drastically.

Road presence, both exterior and interior decor, Atttude and service of dealerPoor speed accelaration fro 0 to 100, Noisy, DVD function does not work at driving mode
