2023 Toyota Fortuner review: Crusade | Why the Ford Everest and Isuzu MU-X rival is just too old |
|
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. #toyota #fortuner #review -- 00:00 Intro 00:26 Pricing and features 01:08 Practicality 04:09 Under the bonnet 04:45 Efficiency 05:04 Driving 06:25 Safety 06:56 Ownership 07:21 Verdict -- Read Emily's full review: https://carsgui.de/3JhV8lA Check out our Toyota Fortuner hub: https://carsgui.de/2Py8sGz Find more SUVs: http://carsgui.de/2o3syZz Visit our Family Guide: http://carsgui.de/2qpbJia -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/carsguide Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carsguide.australia Follow our Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/carsguideaus Follow our TikTok profile: https://www.tiktok.com/@carsguide.com.au Follow our Twitter profile: https://www.twitter.com/CarsGuide Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carsguide-com-au |
