I want to buy a seven-seater car in the ₹50-60 lakh budget range, with good mileage and power. Should I opt for the Fortuner or consider some other car?
While the Toyota Fortuner has strong road presence and a powerful image, it does not offer a premium and sophisticated experience that is expected of the price. The Skoda Kodiaq would be a better choice as it has the right level of premiumness and performance, and is a lot more comfortable than the Fortuner. Mileage numbers will be similar for both SUVs, but the diesel engine in the Fortuner would be a bit easier on the pocket. Our recommendation would be the Skoda Kodiaq as it offers better value and is a better product overall.
I'm torn between the Toyota Hilux and the Fortuner. Most of my driving is within the city or on highways, but the substantial discounts on the Hilux make it an appealing option. My primary concerns with the Hilux are: 1. Uncomfortable rear seats 2. Leaf spring suspension at the rear 3. A turning radius of 5.4 meters 4. High cost of accessories Given these factors, would it be more prudent to opt for the Fortuner, or is the Hilux still a viable choice despite these drawbacks?
Rationally, the Toyota Fortuner is the better choice between the two. This Toyota car has a smaller turning radius, 580 cm versus the Hilux’s 640 cm, and its 4.7-meter length is shorter than the Hilux’s 5.3 meters, making it easier to park and manoeuvre in city conditions. The rear seatbacks are a bit upright and do not recline, and the car seats only five.In contrast, the Hilux’s cargo bed is open, so luggage isn’t protected from the environment or theft if you stop, for example, for a meal. The Toyota Hilux makes sense only if you genuinely need to transport cargo or how much you want to give in to your heart, as it does have a cool and unique image.
I want a 7-seater SUV with maximum ground clearance, rear-wheel drive (or AWD), a diesel engine, and an automatic transmission. Good mileage is important. My budget is ₹30-35 lakh (can stretch slightly). I live in Kashmir, so the car must handle occasional snow. Please suggest suitable models.
For your requirements and budget, the best option is the Jeep Meridian. It's got good ground clearance, a decently frugal diesel engine, a smooth automatic gearbox and AWD. It also has a very luxurious interior, a strong equipment list and the premium Jeep badge and its associated off-road pedigree. Bear in mind, however, that the third row of seats is not very spacious, but good enough for occasional use. Alternatively, you could move down a step to the Mahindra Scorpio-N, but its third row is also very cramped. And finally, you could move up to a Toyota Fortuner, which has a spacious third row, but its price is well past the Rs 40 lakh mark for the diesel automatic variants.
