i am toyota user since 2008 and resale value of toyota is best in every class. sold fortuner 2017 at depreciation of just 14 lacs after 9 years which is monthly depreciation of only 13000 per month for such a big vehicle. incredible value retention

in fortuner there are no features and no comfort. very bouncy in second row due to ladder frame chassis. not the right choice if comfort and features matter to you

I am planning to buy a strong and comfortable SUV that will mainly be used for road trips every few months, where 300+ km drives should feel comfortable. My priorities are space, stability on highways, and reasonable maintenance. Currently, I am considering the Skoda Kodiaq, Jeep Meridian, and MG Gloster, especially since all three seem to be available with good discounts these days. However, I am also wondering if it would be worth stretching my budget to consider bigger SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner or the MG Majestor.

The Skoda Kodiaq would be the ideal choice among the listed options. The Kodiaq has an excellent long-legged nature that makes road trips effortless. The TSI engine is refined, and cabin insulation is excellent. The quality of the interior is high-end, and the build is strong, too.If you maintain it well with timely service and drive it with care, even maintenance isn't a problem. The Kodiaq is a three-row SUV with lots of space and practicality, and a long list of features as well. What is also worth noting is the ride comfort, which is a lot better than that of body-on-frame SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner. Resale value with a Kodiaq is good too, and it is a premium, high-quality SUV on the whole.

Hi, my main use will be in Bangalore city. My everyday running is about 20 km, and I am looking for an SUV. I am very confused between the Legender and the Kodiaq. Please help.

Given that your usage is primarily within Bangalore city, the Skoda Kodiaq is easily the better choice for you. It's got the lighter steering, tighter turning radius and is generally easier to drive and park. The Skoda also delivers far better ride comfort and refinement, and a more polished experience on the whole. A well-finished and feature-loaded cabin also makes the Kodiaq the better choice.The Toyota Fortuner does have greater road presence, reliability is excellent, and it's also the one with the better (still not great) third row seating. However, the Fortuner's key highlight is its off-road ability and durability that comes through over rugged use. For a city vehicle, though, it comes across as crude and unwieldy.

Confused between Fortuner and HyCross. No budget restrictions.

The Toyota Fortuner and Innova HyCross are two different SUVs. The Fortuner features a hardy body-on-frame construction, since it is based on the Hilux pickup truck, while the HyCross gets a modern, sophisticated monocoque chassis that is more comfort-oriented. Space, comfort, features and refinement are all areas in which the HyCross is better, whereas the Fortuner excels in off-roading, toughness and resale value.If you live in an area that is against diesel engines (Delhi NCR), the Fortuner does not make much sense. If you want a diesel engine and durability, the Fortuner will be the better bet. But apart from that, in every single area, the Toyota Innova HyCross is a better choice.The hybrid powertrain is more efficient, the ride comfort is better, the third row is excellent, and being a Toyota car, it holds its value. Our recommendation would be the HyCross since it excels in many more areas than the Fortuner.

I am looking to upgrade my current car, and my choices are the XUV 7XO and the MG Majestor, which I’m guessing would be almost twice as expensive as the 7XO. I have always been a fan of the Endeavour, so I thought the Majestor would tick those boxes, but I’m unsure if it’s worth the wait.

The MG Majestor will sit in a completely different league compared to the Mahindra XUV 7XO, and yes, it is expected to be almost twice as expensive. Early indications suggest an on-road price of around Rs 50 lakh, with a formal price announcement expected next month. It would make sense to wait for that, because pricing will ultimately determine how compelling it really is.From our brief drive, the MG Majestor feels like a significant step forward over the MG Gloster it effectively replaces. It’s more polished, the cabin feels properly premium, and there’s a real sense of space and road presence. In fact, the interior ambience and equipment levels feel a notch above both the Ford Endeavour and the Toyota Fortuner. If what you loved about the Endeavour was that big, imposing, body-on-frame SUV feel with a commanding driving position, the Majestor should tick many of those boxes.The Mahindra XUV 7XO, on the other hand, plays in a very different space. It’s not as large or as imposing, but in its segment, it is genuinely impressive. For its price, it offers strong performance, good driving dynamics, generous space for its footprint and a surprisingly plush, well-finished interior. It feels modern, easy to live with and far more manageable in everyday urban use.So the real question is what you want from your upgrade. If you’re chasing that full-size SUV presence and are willing to pay for it, the Majestor is worth waiting for, at least until the price is revealed. If the pricing stretches beyond what feels reasonable, the XUV 7XO remains a brilliant, well-rounded option that delivers a lot of car for the money, even if it doesn’t have the same size or road presence.

I am planning to buy a new car, preferably a diesel. My daily driving is approximately 100 km in the city. I am currently driving a Toyota Fortuner 4x2 AT and am now considering upgrading to either a sedan or an SUV. My maximum budget is around ₹50 lakh (net) after exchanging my current vehicle. Could you please suggest a suitable vehicle in this budget that would be comfortable for daily usage and long-term ownership? Regards, Jitender

You should check out a luxury SUV such as the Mercedes-Benz GLC or BMW X3, which will feel like a good upgrade to your Toyota Fortuner. They might not be as large, but given that your driving is in the city, this shouldn't be too much of a problem. They have sophisticated and refined petrol and diesel engine options, high-quality cabins and lots of features. Plus, they will be considerably more comfortable and easier to drive than the Fortuner. If you simply must have more space and size than the Fortuner, then consider the MG Majestor, which will be launching very soon. It's unclear how much you will get in exchange for your Fortuner, but assuming it is not too old, big Toyotas tend to hold their value well, so these SUVs should fit in your budget.
