2. Registration service charge can be different as it is set by the dealership, you can ask them to waive it off but depends on them. 3. Extended warranty can not be different as it is set by Toyota. What you might have seen are different warranties. For ex. one dealership might have quoted for 4/5th Year + 1 lakh km while the other dealer quoted 4/5th Year + 1.4 lakh km. Toyota used to share the cost of these EW online but I can't find the page in their website anymore. 4. You can find prices of Toyota Protect insurance online from https://toyotaprotect.com. The dealership quotation shouldn't vary a lot from these prices. Actually, the difference of 11k looks like a handling charge which I have seen in the quote by Bangalore dealers. If you can share the multiple quotations that you have seen then we can see why they vary. Last edited by Technic90 : 23rd April 2021 at 01:49. | |

Road tax should not be, registration charges can vary. For extended warranty please check the additional KM coverage offered. If its same too, they cant be different. |

| ![]() This looks to be very promising. Frankly, suspension or the lack of comfort is the single most annoying thing to me. https://www.cartoq.com/2021-toyota-f...ve-suspension/ Does anyone have more information on this? |

The kind of hit (for the lack of better word) you get, sitting in the rear seats specifically, on Fortuner/ Endeavour is something bothers me the most. | |

From the video - The owner says there's 16 settings for the suspension firmness, 0 is hardest. The ground clearance is lowest at the front at 263mm,he doesn't think the back is lifted by much. The setting can be saved in memory for speed and g force, either for acceleration or linear. His personal opinion is that the ride is greatly improved, the vehicle handles rough roads better. | |

https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/techn...ml#post3211912 (Toyota Fortuner - Improving Ride Comfort?) But this is not what Toyota or other offers on their Air suspension models, nevertheless, should be better over the stock. Last edited by Turbanator : 24th April 2021 at 07:24. | |

| ![]() Detailed comparison with Prado. Contrary to what reviewer prefers, had Prado been available in India at price difference of 10-12Lac in India, would have been quite a seller, many including me would have preferred Prado over Fortuner. I have to agree for space on offer and versatility. Despite shorter length, Fortuner offers more space inside and is also more practical. Last edited by Sheel : 25th April 2021 at 09:29.

Completely agree. I have watched this review earlier and wondered why Toyota has not considered getting the Prado as a CKD here in India. I guess they do not want to let go of the F-A-T profit margins being made on the Fortuner, as many would prefer the Prado if available at a lower price point, given that it is a much more superior SUV compared to the Fortuner. |

| ![]() ^^^ The reason can be a lack of manufacturing line for this vehicle in India. Contrary to what we think, it’s usually a complicated process especially if you have to do it from local products and not just assemble like how Germans do. Toyota has one particular plant for Innova and Fortuner, Prado platform (J150) is different and only few parts can be shared like engine and transmission in diesel variant. Given the high costs of this platform and other premium parts, they cannot price it at Fortuner plus 10-15 lac. It has to be much more and at those prices, the numbers will be significantly lower as per TKM estimates. Remember, our market is not mature like say Australia, Toyota can’t have a basic variant of Prado and keep it closer to Fortuner, rather it has to be a premium with air suspension and other frills. Going forward with newer modular platforms and overall improvements in our buying power and the higher numbers, am sure this product makes complete sense in CKD. But my expectations will be more like 75-80 lac. BTW, there is no Car Production left in Australia if I am not mistaken, at least none for Toyota. So they get everything from South east or Japan. Prado, LC and their siblings, GX & LX, continue to get manufactured only in Japan. Last edited by Turbanator : 25th April 2021 at 10:45. |
