Introducing the New Toyota Fortuner
Recently, Toyota, in collaboration with Al-Futtaim Motors, launched the completely redesigned 2016 Toyota Fortuner in the UAE. This marks the second generation of the Fortuner after the first generation debuted in 2005. The vehicle has seen tremendous success among families and adventure enthusiasts alike. In this article, we aim to compare it with other SUVs in the same category, which is highly competitive in terms of pricing, whether it be SUVs or crossovers.
Competing Vehicles
Mitsubishi Pajero
One of the main competitors is the Mitsubishi Pajero. It offers features comparable to the Fortuner. However, the current model of the Pajero feels somewhat outdated and is in need of an update. Known for its off-road capabilities, such as those demonstrated in the Dakar Rally, Mitsubishi certainly knows how to build an off-road vehicle. While its off-road performance is impressive, the same cannot be said for its on-road behavior. The 3.5L V6 engine is no longer a strong competitor, and you may not feel as stable in corners compared to newer vehicles.
Honda CR-V
Another competitor in this segment is the Honda CR-V. This vehicle serves as a crossover SUV that appeals to families. It is smaller and less powerful than the V6 engines found in other SUVs, but frankly, it doesn’t require that much power to fulfill its role. The primary purpose is to transport passengers comfortably from one point to another. However, if you seek adventure, it can take you to the beach or through simple valleys. Overall, it’s an attractive family vehicle that meets daily needs effectively.
