Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Toyota Fortuner

- Reliability: Toyota’s engineering capabilities gives it a proven durability
- Good powertrain options: You get a choice of both petrol and diesel engines with both rear-wheel and four-wheel drivetrains
- Can go anywhere: Its 4X4 setup gives it good off-road capabilities
- Future-proof: It has a high resale value with a wide service network
Jeep Meridian
- Plush ride quality: Offers a comfortable and confident ride over all kinds of surfaces.
- Punchy sound system: 9-speaker Alpine audio system offers a bass-heavy feel with excellent quality and no distortion.
- Practical interior: Gets three rows of seats and plenty of storage spaces.
- Tough build quality: The panel gaps are consistent and minimal all around, and it has a strong and sturdy feel both inside and out.

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- Outdated cabin: The design and materials used makes the interior look old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
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.
