2016 Toyota Fortuner

[bukkaka]

I have a phantom brown 4x4 in order. Because my wife believes that toyota is the best brand there is. I went along with her decision blindly para wala ng mahabang usapan.

 

Coming from a 2012 toyota fortuner 4x2 2.5l diesel. the interior looks the same. the lay out, position of cup holders. everything is the same except for the interior color.

 

Is the car really all new? or pinalitan lang ang kaha ng bagong body?

 

the only improvement I can see is that the 2,8l diesel has 450NM of torque which is a lot. also 6speed na ang transmission so baka maganda ang fuel economy niya.

 

I do not know if you guys feel like this pero aside from the new look, the car feels totaly the same as my 2012. Will post pics once dumating na ang car.

 

I feel like toyota engineers/bosses said " Hey sikat na ang auto natin, lets not try too hard para sa all new model kasi siguardong bebenta naman"

 

let me guys give you the Honda civic as an example. every time na may lalabas silang "All new " model, talagang naiiba ang interior, iba ang hugis ng dash board, iba ang location ng instrument panel, may mga new tech like digital speedometer and other things.

 

My hands are tied with the purchase decision pero sana naman people in Toyota would make their car more fun

same sentiment here. i prefer getting a montero but my wife wants the fortuner.

compared to 2016 MU X, which is better?

compared to 2016 MU X, which is better?

 

I will make a review pag dating nung sa akin august 24 ang dating.

 

ang Mu X ang strong points niya ay

 

1. tahimik sa loob, madaming " Deadening " Agents ang ginamit kaya hindi mo halos marinig ang ingay ng diesel sa loob ng cabin.

 

2. 4wheel disc brake ang Mu X di gaya ng fortuner na ang likod ay drum brake pa din. di ko alam kung bakit hanggang ngayon ang likod drum brake pa din. very 1990's.

 

3. compared sa aking 2012 fortuner, mas maganda ang ride ng MU X.

 

pa wait lang sir para malaman which is better imho.

 

ang for sure na panalo sa fortuner ay 2.8L ang makina niya ang MU x ng pinsan ko ay 2.5l. ang 3.0L naman na mu x ay hindi ko pa nasasakyan

I got my wife's 2016 fortuner 4x4 yesterday . the feeling inside the cabin is very similar. here are the imrpovements of the 2016 model compared to my 2012 2.5g and 2008 3.04x4

 

1. The engine noise is minimal sa all new. Halos tunog gas engine na sa loob ng cabin pero pag labas mo tunog diesel pa din. ibig sabihin ay makalapal ang soundproofing for the new fortuner.

 

2. mas mabilis ang engine response ng 2.8diesel compared sa previous 2.5 diesel and 3.0 diesel. pag apak mo sa accelerator may hila agad , ang old fortuners ko kasi hihintay ka pa ng isa o dalawang segundo bago sumipa ang turbo.

 

3. may new features siya galling sa ibang mamahalin na Toyota. Meron siyang AHO (automatic headlight on) kung dumilim. example from QC circle dumaan ako sa Q.ave, pag dating sa tunnel kusang bumukas ang ilaw. this feature is standard on European vehicles and sa lexus. nakakatuwa na napunta sa Fortuner. Pag nagpakarga ka ng gas, automotac tatanungin ka ng On board computer kung magkano ang presyo kada litro . nakakatuwa kasi malalaman mo na ang exacting consume mo pag may pinuntahan kang lugar , hindi mo na sasabihin na " Pare qc -tagaytay-qc 600 pesos lang ang gas ko" makokompute mo na per trip " 558.83php" ang galling

 

4. Power na ang rear door, and mas madali na I fold ang rear seats, hindi mo na kailangan umakyat sa likod para ayusin eto.

 

5. Spotify ready ang switches sa manibela

 

now ang downside

 

1. Matagtag pa din, although may improvement ng konti. pero di pa rin kasing ganda ng innova

 

2. Front Disc brake, Rear Drum Brake pa din. 1980's pa eto ah. ang Montero 2012 pa lang front and rear disc brake na.

 

 

 

2. pag nagtagal ka sa loob ng 2016 fortuner, feeling mo nasa loob ka lang din ng 2012 fortuner. same lay out pa din

 

 

Kung ang fortuner mo ay 2004-2011, pede ka na magpalit. kung 2012-2015, huwag mo ibenta fortuner mo para bumili ng bago. Hindi kasi masyadong " all new " ang feel.

 

again kaya ako bumili ng 2016 is nagpabili lang ang wife ko.

 

pero kung ako papapiliin , mas madaming features ang Montero at Everest. mahirap lang makipagtalo kasi matibay talaga ang toyota

Thank you for the real-world review r35gtr.

 

I myself have a 2012 2.5G Fortuner and am getting the "itch" to buy a newer model for 2017. Your review helps as I am at a crossroads to stay with Toyota or cross into the dark side and purchase a 2017 Montero instead.

[cardodalisay0191]

Overpowered its competition, made the new Montero look like s@%t, Montero even made discounts because they can't sell s@%t. Check out the batangas port ang daming nakatambak ng Montero ayaw kunin ng mga dealers :lol:

Actualy when my wife said she wanted a new car, the Montero popped into my mind. It has more features like

 

1. Blind spot notification system

2. Forward collision mitigation system

3. Low compression high boost engine

 

the only downside is

 

1. Di ko ma gets kung ano ang gusto nila patunayan sa design ng Likod ng car nila. What is it? ang ganda ng harap pero ang likod? di ko maintindihan. Parang isang babae na may magandang mukha at magandang boobs pero walang pwet. parang ganun.

 

 

 

But she really wanted the Fortuner because she believes that Toyota's will last forever . Next purchase ko after two years lets see kung ok pa ang montero

Thank you again.

 

I went to Al Habtoor, the Mitsu dealer in the UAE to look at the Montero. Features are great but cabin feels smaller than the Fortuner.

 

Will book myself a test drive (for the 3.0 Mivec gas engine) this weekend and see if it seats and drives comfortably.

3.0 Gas?!! kung sabagay mura naman ang gasolina sa inyo .

 

one benefit ng Montero is eto ay worldwide model .

 

ang fortuner is Usualy Phil, Thai, Indonesia and Australia nirerelease

True. There is no Fortuner in the US.

Totoo po bang malambot suspension sa likod?

Totoo po bang malambot suspension sa likod?

 

 

Ang totoo is " mas Lumambot" pero do not expect it to give a car like ride. Remember the Chassis is taken from a pick up truck where in Rigidity is priority. Pero may difference sa previous generation fortuner.

 

My problem with my unit, I do not know if normal lang or hindi is kung nasa P position ka and Nilagay sa Reverse, may loud banging sound. First time for me to experience it on a daily driver.

[manilatonight1]

Guys,

 

Pano ba isetup yun voice recognition na button sa wheel ng fortuner 2016? I tried hard press and sa setup wala naman options to configure the voice recognition.

Give a call and inform your agent / service dealer about it.

 

I believe there is a on-going recall with the Fortuner because of transmission related issues.
