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

Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Looks like a true hot hatch: Gets red accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and red GTI badges.
- Fun-to-drive: The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds.
- Handles like a pro: Feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.

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- Outdated cabin: The design and materials used makes the interior look old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
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Inconsistent cabin quality: While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- Missing features: Does not get leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
