Toyota Fortuner vs Volvo XC90 Comparison

The Toyota Fortuner has always boasted a rugged body-on-frame design for extreme durability. Its 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine now delivers 201bhp and 500Nm torque, up from 175bhp and 420Nm from its predecessor. The SUV is a trusted heavy-duty performer famous worldwide for sturdy build and payload capacity. And with strong residual value, even the older models retain good resale prices.

The Volvo delivers an impressive performance without directly contesting the V6 or V8 SUVs. Its combined output of 400bhp, sourced from the electric motor and the 4-cylinder engine, is commendably robust. The vehicle operates smoothly and, when switched to Pure Mode, can cover slightly over 40 kilometres solely on electric power. Additionally, it offers instant torque, thanks to the electric motor's ability to provide maximum torque from a standstill, ensuring responsive and dynamic acceleration right from the get-go.
