Toyota Fortuner review: what owners and experts say

Long-term build quality

Strongly positivebased on 7 reviews

“What you do get is a certain peace of mind -- the fact that when you buy one, you just can't go wrong with it. If there's one SUV that can probably outlive its owners, it's this one.”

Highway stability

Strongly positivebased on 6 reviews

“I've taken it as far as Korba and Amritsar, and to Jaipur too -- on the Jaipur trip, all highway, absolutely great, no issues at all. It's got that quality where even swerving at high speed it doesn't feel loose.”

Rear seat space

Generally positivebased on 6 reviews

“In the back seat there's a lot more legroom, despite the fact that this car is built on the same wheelbase as the earlier Fortuna -- there's a lot more thigh support, you're sat higher off the ground, and the backrest is nicer.”

Routine service cost

Generally positivebased on 5 reviews

“Service costs a max of 10 to 15,000 [rupees]. There's nothing extra to spend beyond what's scheduled.”

Dashboard layout

Generally negativebased on 7 reviews

“especially some of the switchgear, they look like they've come straight out of a car from the 1990s. My favorite example of this are the controls for the cool seats, which are these delightfully old-school wheel-like toggles.”

Handling

Generally negativebased on 20 reviews

“Of course it rolls in corners -- you can feel it leaning over, which sort of robs you of some of that confidence. But that's only to be expected on a body-on-frame SUV like this.”

Boot space

Generally negativebased on 5 reviews

“there's definitely the better third row in the Legender, but when it comes to the boots, it's slightly on the back foot.”

Ride comfort

Mixed reviewsbased on 17 reviews

“The body-on-frame setup and the big wheels mean the ride is always busy -- there's always a small amount of movement even when the road surface isn't too bad, and that means you aren't as comfortable as you could have been.”

Third row usability

Mixed reviewsbased on 16 reviews

“They put the [mild-hybrid] battery between the second and third row -- so people coming into the third row get a bit of discomfort near their face/head area.”
