2023 Toyota Fortuner review: Crusade | Why the Ford Everest and Isuzu MU-X rival is just too old
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- Pick a Toyota model and chances are its the best-seller in its respective segment in Australia. But that's not the case with the 2023 Toyota Fortuner 4x4 large SUV. Despite being based on the all-conquering Toyota HiLux 4WD ute, it has never found the same level of success or close to it.
With the Ford Everest, Isuzu MU-X and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport firmly in its sights, the Fortuner is yet to catch fire Down Under, even with seven-seat practicality on offer as part of its off-road-ready body-on-frame package.
So, in this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar gets behind the wheel of the Fortuner's flagship Crusade variant to find out if family buyers should be embracing it more. After all, not everyone wants or needs its more expensive Toyota LandCruiser Prado sibling.

We love our 22 model GXL Fortuner, don’t care its media screen is smaller than rivals. I like it that way and less tech means less to go wrong out bush.
yep agree! not too technically advanced like the latest LC300!
Owning a pre-FL Fortuner, shes highlights the negatives well. Main reasons I like the Fortuner is its faster than a heavier Prado and brilliant offroad
Quickers and lighter than the prado and looks-wise IMO the fortuner has a more aggresive and sportier look than its sibling. But the prado also has its own advantages over this.
We currently love our first Gen 2012 Fortuner. Macho and bigger in size than the current one. Looked like a real monster
Great review ,tnks.
8/10 I ❤love it ....
From Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
And also, in my country, the Fortuner is available with a manual transmission. But on a 2.4 G grade.
Always great reviews. I was thinking top spec Ssanyong but yeah nuh i think the fortuner
Imported from Indonesia. The Fortuner may not have a V6 engine, but the diesel engines are efficient that way
Diesel and BEVs are both very harmful to the environment, but the former even more.
2500 to 3500 sales in india for fortuner every month
@@bonjovi1354and 1.5 billion population, no big deal
@@jayesha8961 costs half a crore which is insane
In NZ the same vehicle service interval is 15000 kms or one year.
好的，但是坏在路上的概率比较大，机油粘度和品牌决定机油好坏！
temperature/weather difference
Why in my country it’s only available in boring white, dull black and bleak grey
This car is a fabulous car and the reason why that this vehicle is performing bad in the dealerships is because of the poor effort toyota puts in this vehicle. If toyota were to do that and then this vehicle would be performing way better in dealership. I hope toyota doesnt discontinue this😰
Wow 6.5 out of 10 that’s pretty low. I have a 2018 model crusade and I still love it , it’s not the best car in the world but for the price it’s pretty good I picked mine up for $58K drive away on special and it goes to many places a lot cars won’t go and I would give 8 out of 10.
Everest Sport just so much more value for money at this stage in life cycle.
In 2018 it would have been an 8/10 because of the rivals then but with the new MUX and Everest out now, it’s very dated.
现在是47000澳币，买贵了！
@@wildpixel8302it's not 2018 bro get real.
Most loved SUV in India. Really my dream car and I'm mad for this vehicle.
Are the back seats removable?
As a matter of fact yes, they are...
@@davidbaker5185 But with a LOT of effort. There is an oblique bolt that is practically impossible to get out. I had intentions of removing the seats in mine but gave up because it was just too much effort. Why they ever went away from the similarly styled LandCruiser rear seats that could just be lifted out is anyone's guess. Swapped mine (2022 model) for a new Everest and that's why she gave it 6.5 out of 10. Any higher and the Everest would need to be rated at more than 10 out of 10. Cross shop this with an Everest and you'll need to be a rusted on Toyota buyer to get one of these. Oh, and that DPF warning that comes on every 200kms or so.
No thanks Toyota!
just wondering if an average 5’3” lady can fit in between 2 child-seats?
No
I have always liked toyota fortunner ,antime , anyday.
In America, an friend has a 2018 Fortuna.
Is this available in the U.K.??
Dont think so
No its not
No. It's available in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and many Latin American countries.
@@ApprenPlayerhub for india
Way better than an MUX
Lol
Really? I thought mux is terrible
Mux now better but Everest is best.
Love from INDIA❤
Kiyun bhenchod
Very nice review. Thanks
Fortuner is a fabulous vehicle 👍👍👍
BS there are better out there now.
@@philmelb1022 nope.
I get 8.9 l/100 in city rural driving
Wow. On a 2.8 or 2.4 engine? My 2.8 best was 9.8L on the open road.
I would give it a 4
10’000 klms is “painful” for a car? Dont ever believe a manufacturer that says its safe to leave the service beyond 10000.
I service my own every 7k , oil is cheap😅.
Bmw says the LL oil can last 30,000km. Of course there are tons of cars requiring the oil change every 12 months.
Toyota NZ specifies 15000 kms service intervals on same vehicle.
I'll have Everest any day
Until the Everest auto transmission fails and you have to get towed by a Fortuner back to your Ford dealership.
Why Toyota not offer sunroof and better interior in this car
Because it's Hilux based. The new one "should" be better.
This car is very unstable when driving fast, the body roll is very noticeable, on damaged roads the suspension is very uncomfortable, it feels like it slams, the body plate is very thin, when a collision occurs this car becomes like a cracker , many people died when driving this car in Indonesia when wn accident occurs
This big sized cuchie needs the Prado for sure
I was going to ask what the gvm was with and without presenter
The same car in india u get for 100 thousand Australian dollars
Bhai 35 lakh me mil rhi h Australia me or india me 60 lakh
I drive dmax’s and MU-X for work, and they are garbage
The Fortuner just isn't competitive against its rivals. Hope it gets the facelift it desperately needs.
For the 2022 model year, Toyota Indonesia proceeds to export Fortuners to Australia instead of Thailand. Most SUVs are imported here in AU
It's very good at what it is designed to be - a modern Hilux Surf. It's 'competitors' are trying to a Prado, in which case buy a Prado.
@@jonbielby prado is already too old yet the price is crazy here.
你可以买其他型号的车比如霸道
انعدمن عليك الألوان
Hy beautiful 😮
I think your husband should get a 4.0 v6, as it is more suitable for men because we most of the time go off-roading
Fortuner is symbol of power in India
It doesn't say much for India.
So is a toilet
One USB-A port in the whole car? Toyota continue their history of substandard multimedia support. How is a Japanese company so bad at this?! 🤦♂
Pretty easy to add extra very cheaply. Certainly not a big deal
There are literally 2 individual USB-A sockets on the back of the centre console on the Crusade. No idea why the reviewer said what she said.
@@richardwalsh5570 Do you mean an adaptor for the single USB port?
Extra double usb from Stedi 20 bucks. Seriously that's nothing of concern at all
Too old and out dated for me and a pretty ordinary review,Toyota need to get with the times
Welcome to 2010
Fortuner has no 4wd performance like the prado or Everest. it doesn't even have full time 4wd....
Mu-x seems better 🤔
😂
Its TOYOTA bruh it will outlive your entire generation. FORD is joke compare to TOYOTA.
8/10 I ❤love it ....
