We’re always amazed at just how many SUVs Toyota seems to sell, and there’s good reason for that - people know the brand, know the reputation, and know they’ve got options to choose from.
Keeping that in mind, we decided to amass three of the Japanese brand’s seven-seat SUVs to put them to the test: the Toyota Fortuner, Toyota Kluger, and Toyota LandCruiser Prado. In 2016, Toyota sold more than 30,000 of these types of SUVs, easily outselling entire brands like Audi, BMW, Land Rover and Suzuki.

Been driving my Prado GXL for ten years now without any issues, it's more like luxury car, very comfortable and reliable. Normally I upgrade to a new vehicle every 4 to 6 years, but now my Prado still drive like new but never been off road. Front brake pads changed at 110k km and rear at 150k km and tyres around 80k km.

The Fortuner is the sweet spot. But I do like the Kruger for being able to seat 7 people in comfort, while accelerating like a sedan. However they don't call the Prado " Pride of the Land " for nothing, as it basically has all the gadgets to tackle the most unforgiving of roads.

@martinlang9615 4 жыл бұрын

I would argue, since the Kakadu has adjustable air suspension it will be THE most comfortable vehicle is ALL situations. We have a Grande 2007 Prado and we love it. On those long drives the centre console fridge works its magic with 4 very cold cans of drink (driver may consider using straw for safety). The commanding view ahead allows early detection of pot holes (even if you hit them the 65 profile plus air suspension just laughs at them). Do what we did, buy a 3 year, 100,000 klm Prado and take the risk. Sure it needs to be maintained, like any vehicle, at 3 years old and pushing a good deal will see you well outback, on the beach, anywhere.

@southern_smacker 6 жыл бұрын

Prado. They did not show complete on-roading and off-roading gear and suspension combinations where Pardo justifies its $85k price tags. Fortuner and similar class like Mitsubishi Pajero Sports, Ford Everest are just “cabined UTEs”, while Kluger is just everyday city SUV. While in Australia I am developing the feeling that there is no use of buying a super sports car here as the speed limits are too low and it is breach of law to exceed speed limits in any way. The only thing you can enjoy in Australia is off-roading as there are no rules and limitations to your enjoyment in the outback 😊

My dad owns a GXL Prado V6 from 2017. Hasn't missed a beat and we have the flat boot and Leather seats so it looks good and is more comfortable. My mum owns the Kluger Grande from 2019 and it is so so comfortable. We have fitted the air suspension from the kakadu on our GXL too so it is basically a kakadu with different wheels and none of the fake wood.

Mainly because we use petrol more than diesel. And only this year have we get the 4.0 petrol hilux. Before that we used to get the 2.7.

Prado. 0 to 100 is not a practical test for driving as high torque at low revs. Diesel engine is always enjoyable in driving, effortless, better economy. Finally big, roomy, raised cabin, soft suspension. KKDS is there so no need to chose hard suspension.

I've driven over a similar hilly dirt road with a VW Beetle 2002 with sports aluminum wheels andlow profile tires. It handled it pretty well. I doubt the Kluger wouldn't have been able to handle it.

The Fortuner has a very heavy steering compared to a Hilux. And it has a very boaty ride and nose dive every time you brake hard. It tends to sag when you load at the back especially when it carries 7 people, you would feel the suspension stoppernat the back already hitting. But it’s a good car over all. My mother owns one and I own a Hilux.

In my opinion the Prado is the the best of the best in off road capabilities, while the fortuner is somewhere in between but the fortuner can keep up with Prado when driving off road. I own a fortuner 4x2 and I have been driving on mild off road terrain and long highway driving and to my experience it's has the best fuel consumption 14km/L to 22km/L and a very good handling and suspension. Sadly though they don't have the Kluger sold here in the Philippines

In my country importing a used Prado or a Fortuner from Japan or Thailand is almost the same price when I take into account the taxes which is about for a used 2015 Prado $55,000 USD. So by far the Prado why because would you really pay that money for an suv that is basically a Hilux the Kluger got too big of an engine that's a lot more in taxes
