Pros Cons of Toyota Fortuner

Pros

  • Strong low-end diesel torque
  • Commanding SUV road presence
  • Improved ride quality
  • Affordable ladder-frame toughness
  • Loyal, proven brand legacy

Cons

  • Expensive compared to rivals
  • Bulky for city parking
  • Petrol engine feels weak
  • Ride comfort slightly firm
  • Lacks modern ADAS suite

Verdict

The Toyota Fortuner is not trying to please everyone and that is exactly why it remains king. This is a machine built on legacy, torque and unquestioned authority. You feel it the moment you sit high behind the wheel. It does not beg for attention; it commands it. If you want soft ride comfort and flashy tech, look elsewhere. But if you want presence, durability and unstoppable road confidence, this is it. As Shams Raza Naqvi would put it, this is the SUV you buy when you want to own the road, not share it. No apologies. No compromises.

Best For

  • Dominating the highways roads.
  • Extreme off-road adventure lovers.
  • Long-distance touring without compromise.
  • Buyers with a strong resale value.

Not Ideal For

  • Tight urban daily commuters
  • Tech-first luxury feature hunters
  • Soft suspension comfort lovers
  • Budget-conscious SUV shoppers

Pros Cons of Lexus NX

Pros

  • Compact proportions but good road presence
  • Ride and handling is good
  • Practical SUV with hybrid powertrain

Cons

  • After sales and service an issue
  • Cabin is outdated
  • No diesel powertrain on offer given the segment

Verdict

The New NX 350h has been awarded the highest rating of 5 stars by Euro NCAP, and with this new car, the Lexus safety system has also come to India. This means a whole lot of driver assist features are now available with the car. This includes Lane tracing Assist, Lane departure Assist and Rear cross traffic alert amongst others. However, the Automatic emergency brakeing feature seen in the United States is missing in India.
