Report-Toyota Fortuner test drive review
The Fortuner is indeed one of the game changing segments for the Brand. Exterior of the car, although the basic design has been carried out for quite some time now, but still the design and the layout is completely fresh and welcoming. Once retailed for INR 22 lakh, but now reaches up to INR 29 lakhs on road.
The famous brand is always considered the most thoughtful automotive maker. They have all the extra ordinary variants under them, the iconic Supra to the sporty king Prius that has been famous for hybrid. Talking about luxury car segment, Lexus becomes the word. Basically Toyota is the name for bringing aggressive cars with a comfort like home. All the cars the brand has, have manufactured yet as built to outpace the human life as per the saying goes like.
As it was reported by the Brand to focus on the premium range of its products, they are yet devoted into the making of the new fortuner, yet another update before the model would be completely changed. The Fortuner is indeed one of the game changing segments for the Brand. Exterior of the car, although the basic design has been carried out for quite some time now, but still the design and the layout is completely fresh and welcoming. The three racks chrome grille, with a new fender, almost gives another fresh look to the machine. It looks sporty and tough at the same time. Chrome has been used in a lot of places in the body, near the fog lights, the grille, batch and the surrounding of the headlight, at the back you would find the chrome work on the shouts, molded. The door handles have been beautified with the chrome touch. The Fortuner new machine stands taller and is wider than its older sibling. Talking on the whole, this particular machine is a killer to look at with the style, power and the correct balance on the road.
Inshore, the all black interior steals the show, giving out a perfect sporty cabin. The seating chairs are nearly perfectly comfortable, incorporating a great support at the lower and the upper back. The steering wheel seems to be a bit bigger, but that’s the usual with the SUVs. You would find cup holders and storage spaces in the car. There are bottle holders that can pick up to a liter of bottle each. There is a feature of an automatic climate controller in the cabin. The rear of the car has enough and ample leg room. However the seats at the back, the third row can be spared for the kids or other short persons, as it has the least leg room.
The connectivity can be made sure with the USB, AUX and Bluetooth. There can be seen a 12Vsocket. There are audio controllers on the steering wheel. At this price one can expect a better sound and audio quality. Price Now it can’t be said the Fortuner is a value for money, because the brand has indeed increased the prices. Once retailed for INR 22 lakh, but now reaches up to INR 29 lakhs on road.
