Toyota Fortuner vs Isuzu MU-X Comparison overview

Comparison overview: The Toyota Fortuner starts at ₹34.76 L and the Isuzu MU-X at ₹34.53 L, a difference of ₹23.00 K ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹25.53 K. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Engine and performance: The Toyota Fortuner uses a 2,755cc Diesel/Petrol making 201.15bhp@3000-3400rpm,163.60bhp@5220rpm and listed torque with Automatic/Manual. The Isuzu MU-X uses a 1,898cc Diesel making 160.92bhp@3600rpm and listed torque with Automatic.

Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The Toyota Fortuner number is for the Diesel/Petrol Automatic/Manual and the Isuzu MU-X number is for the Diesel Automatic, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.

What one gives that the other does not: The Toyota Fortuner adds Door Ajar Warning, Anti-Theft Device, Speed Alert, Speed Sensing Auto Door Lock and Knee Airbags. The Isuzu MU-X adds Curtain Airbag, Hill Descent Control, Projector Headlamps, Antenna and Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the Isuzu MU-X if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹23.00 K for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Toyota Fortuner 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: Toyota Fortuner offers Door Ajar Warning.

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.
