Competition

 

One of the most successful and highest-selling product from Toyota in India is the Fortuner and it has always proved to be best in segment among other ladder frame premium SUVs for years. The Fortuner’s main Rivals in India are Ford Endeavour whose price range from Rs 29.99-35.45 lakh, Mahindra Alturas G4  that ranges from Rs 28.73-31.73 lakh and new to the segment MG Gloster that ranges from Rs 29.98-35.58 lakh. Also Jeep has announced lately that they will be introducing a 7-seater SUV which will sit in this very segment. It will be interesting to see each SUV go up against one another. But with the introduction of Fortuner Legender, the price for Fortuner has gone up considerably high and its now most expensive in the segment as of now. Let’s see how it turns up in coming time.
