Overpriced- yes but in 2009-2010 Fortuner retailed at 18-20Lacs OTR while a C class retailed at 25Lacs. Top Spec C class now would cost somewhere close to 60-65L and Fortuner costs about 45L. This doesn't take away the fact that Fortuner is overpriced, but its not alone, entire market is overpriced for what they offer. |

| ![]() There is a new video for Australian 2020 Fortuner model. The reviewer is 'Ronny Dahl' and the review is biased toward off road credibility as he is more of an off highway driver in his videsos. Here is the link: Fortuner performed very well and the increased power is helping it. Hope Toyota brings the updated engine in India as well Slushmaster |

Thanks for sharing. Do note the no. of times he engages the rear diff lock, something which is instrumental to the Fortuner's off-road prowess and is sadly missing on the Indian version. |

Can you elucidate on this - especially as compared to the current Endeavour/Everest's 4wd system/s?? |

Well, 3-4 hours of immersion in 1.05m water ended up with water *in everything* - except the engine oil/block! In the: -Auto tranny. -Rear diff. -4wd transfer case. -Every single engine component. -Fuel tank/pump. I mean, it's just whacked when I am told by *top* people in the dealership that the auto tranny is "sealed", not to change the fluid/filter - as well as the rear differential - and then ends up letting water inside?? Supposedly got in through the "breathers". Well, then how is this unit supposed to wade through rivers, et al? I guess you should be changing all fluids subsequent to traversing any water then, eh?! ![]() |

I sincerely think that the Indian models are heavily compromised - it's just that simple - in the interest of saving money! | |

Anyway, the real situation is now whether to attempt repairs (with a lesser amount than what the Toyota workshop has quoted) or total it as the insurance company would like to - even though it only had 12k kilometers on the odometer... |

Not able to understand your problems, has you car suffered some damage? What’s their estimate and what all parts are the changing? Insurance will normally cover water damage too unless someone has done it intentionally. Regarding your comments on the difference in quality, I have my doubts as Toyota is a little different when it comes to basic ethics and they don’t linger our models forever and come with newer variants whenever there’s a change globally (3-6month lag). | |

![]() In addition to the rear diff locker, the other area where Endeavour scores is full-time 4WD, which gives immense confidence on wet highway drives as well as rough terrain. Fortuner was a full-time 4WD in its previous avatar but unfortunately, did not carry this trait forward to the new generation. Last edited by cool_dube : 17th December 2020 at 10:50. | |

But, we are not getting rear Diff-Lock in India(Current Fortuner) and the way Toyota remove things from the indian models, we are very thankful to Toyota for atleast providing the traction control system ![]() Let's hope Toyota provides all the bells and whistles from Australian model in India as well, but I know toyota will proove me wrong. They will jack up the price by bringing some cosmetic changes and we all will be ready to pay the price happily. | |

| ![]() Hello all. Anyone having any idea about when the facelift will be launched. I have booked one, but my sales advisor is not sure about delivery time. All i get to know from him is that the production of existing fortuner has stopped and now only facelifted one will come. Is the delay intentional by Toyota cause of year end or has it got to do anything with the strike at plant? Heart pains to see facelifted versions being launched in thailand, Vietnam, australia, south africa etc. Are we Indian consumers not on international toyota's radar? |
