Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The Pravaig DEFY number is for the Electric Automatic and the Toyota Fortuner Legender number is for the Diesel Automatic/Manual, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.

The Toyota Fortuner Legender adds Brake Assist, Day & Night Rear View Mirror, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Seat Belt Warning and Door Ajar Warning. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the Pravaig DEFY if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹3.42 L for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Toyota Fortuner Legender if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: Pravaig DEFY offers Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
