Verdict

According to Seshan Vijayraghvan,

“Hilux might be an expensive option, but it offers good value. The limited features will be a question because of the high price. But it’s a purpose-built vehicle for those enthusiasts who not only want to take the car off the beaten path, but go beyond that, and experience the different terrains India has to offer.”

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.

No compromises.
