Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Toyota Fortuner

Jeep Meridian
- Noisy diesel engine: Leaves room for improvement in terms of refinement and NVH.
- Third row: Feels cramped and is suitable only for children.
- Slow gearbox: 9-speed AT is smooth, but slow shifting and dull to drive.
Toyota Fortuner
- Outdated cabin: The design and materials used makes the interior look old
- Not so comfortable: Rear passengers can feel a lot of movement over bad roads
- Petrol lacks punch: The petrol powertrain does not feel as quick as the diesel on highways
- Less features: For a Rs 50 lakh car, the equipment on offer feels bare minimum with misses like a sunroof, ventilated front seats, and a large touchscreen
- Heavy on the wallet: Compared to its segment, the asking price for the Fortuner is a little high
