Pajero Vs Fortuner
Hi all,
I am planning to buy a second hand mid size SUV and I am thinking about cost and reliability.
I have two main options : Mitsubishi. Pajero (3.5 /3.8) 2014-15 and Toyota Fortuner 2.7 / 4 (2015, not the new one)
Plus about the pajero is that it's worth the money, it comes with so many interior options and comfort as a top level SUV of Mitsubishi, however I need to know the cost of maintainence, spares reliability & resale value.
Also on forums, it's seen that Mitsubishi is going to stop Pajero soon as it's an ageing SUV.
Now with the Fortuner, given that the toyota has the better resale value and low maintainence, it's reliable. But it has cheap interior design and options.
What is the opionion on it's ride comfortability as it's for family use.
What would you prefer between these models? and please state your reasons.
I am rather not hear about Prado. It's too expensive comparing to these models.
Thanks.
I would recommend a Pajero 3.8 MIVEC engine which has less than 80,000kms ,leather seats and nice kept interiors.As of a Fortuner ,hate the interiors, same as that of the hilux, Your call.
I guess, there are bunch of guys who support for Pajero. My favourite is Fortuner. Never owned a Pajero though but compared to Pajero, its a lot better. I guess you might have heard that Pajero has become a lot cheaper recently and the reason is they have put cheap interiors and parts. its not the old Pajero which had a classic style and interior. So compared to Pajero 2015, the Fortuner 2012 is a lot better. cos my friend purchased a brand new and the rubber lining in the front glass and exterior is hanging and still fortuner is as good as new....
P.S Dont get hurt by my comments, at the end of day, its your call....
Would love to visit.. Rizks has told me much about God's Own Country and the delicious food there .. Not to mention the lovely ladies .....
I really wonder whether Britexpat has ever come to Kerala
Mr. britexpatpondicherrykuttyswaminathan, Pajero still have a good resale value then a Fortuner.
Thanks people.
Mr Rizks: How many Lakhs is a Pajero 2015
Pajero is a good resale value
Have owned both, Pajero (3.5L) and Fourtuner (4L). Both have dumb interiors so not an issue to compare. Ride in Fortuner felt better. But if u decide for Pajero go for 3.8L. 3.5L is very sluggish. Was able to sell Pajero at good price and quickly. Not sure of Fortuner, still driving.
Thanks all. What's your opinion about it's resale value and cost?
The Pajero in my opinion comes out just ahead - although it is slightly bigger..
The Fortuner is basically truck chasis , with plain interior and cabin space
Pajero...
If u ask me buy a Pajero. Fortuner is not for a family.
