Mitsubishi Montero v.s Toyota Fortuner

[vipvip68]

Based on looks alone.. internally... the Montero looks a lot better than the Fortuner. Montero's interior looks more refined and similar to higher priced SUV's.

Sa external appearance, Fortuner still looks better imho.

Would the RAV-4 and CRV be in the same price range sab?

wala pa man ni release ang mazda og CX7.

Rav 4 , CRV , Nissan Xtrail, Suzuki Grand Vitara, Kia sportage, and Hyundai Tucson are in the same category. although the Rav4s price is way higher than these 5 models. they all belong to small SUVS which can seat only 5 persons. and all models are driven by gasoline engines, only kia sportage and hyundai tucson have diesel variants. price range from 1M to 1.8M. Rav4 4x4 is around 1.8M

Toyota Fortuner, mitsubishi Montero, kia sorento, hyundai sta. fe and Isuzu Altera belong to the same category which can seat 7 to 8 persons. most of the models are driven by diesel engines although some have gasoline variants but the diesel engines are the ones selling like hotcakes here in the Philippines. Price range from 1.3M to 1.7M

Bro murag asa man gyud ka ani kung papaliton ka? kay dili man na pwede interior sa montero ibutang sa sulod sa fortuner. hehe peace bai ha, nangutana lang ko unsa imo choice?

I haven't seen the Montero up close pero based solely on the pics posted here.. I'd choose it over the Fortuner. I prefer internal functionality over external appearance.

Kung mu palit ko, I'd need to have a closer look though...and maybe a test drive. Lisod sad to make a purchasing decision based on photos and initial impression.

i've seen the montero and still plastic ra gihapon but it looks better than fortuners nuon... the wood panel it feels soft to touch and it was good, what i don't like is the plastic used on the seats, pero ang plastic on the dash comparable ra sa fortuner.

Ang fortuner mu nindot ug performance if you have it upgraded into old man emu na shocks. Drives like my old pajero. hehehe

it was a JVC don't know lang kung multiple cd's kay single din raman, o mu play ba DVD's...

gi trade nako kay nag labad naman gud ako ulo hehehe... nindot sad santa fe pero based on the comparison sa mga tsikoteers kay mu kagulkol daw dayn bale kusog noise compared sa fortuner.

wala nako gi change ang shocks was planning unta pero wala na after the incident with toyota hehehe

I would choose the Hyundai Sta. Fe over these two models because it has a nice ride, good looks, fuel efficient engine but not lacking in power. Value for money.

Mitsubishi montero = the design not so good, mitsubishi engines are not so good. I had bad experience with my Galant before. I spend a lot on the maintenance and the engine keeps on overheating. Well the montero has not yet been test in the market, we will give it a chance.

Toyota Fortuner = not so good ride. performance and looks are good.

[JeffCee]

i like the Outside appearance of the montero,.,

Since my family is planning to buy a Fortuner (we are waiting for the new look). Since you said the ride is not that nice. I will take into consideration in buying the Hyundai Sta. Fe. After all this is my second choice.

i like the montero kay parehas ug atubangan sa amo strada...hehehe mas dako sad ni tan-awon considering na dagko na daan ug tires and rims... im sure kusog sad ni mubulhot just like the sa strada sa ako bro... 2.5 palang gani to...

ako nalang baligya ako CRV...palit ko ani...hehehe hurot pirmi ako gas kay daku ug kaon AT man gud...

[TAMB0K]

yup 2.5 palang ang strada... sa na kaha ning 3.2 sa montero sah? pakan-on ug abog ang 3.0 ani sa fortuner ehehehehe

i wouldnt want to be on the fortuner kay mag ubo-ubo ko hehehehe

[EZRA]

I would never pick a Hyundai over a Toyota... even a Mitsubishi. Korean cars are still behind the Japanese bisag pila pa ka tuig na ilang warranty i-hatag.

I looked up sa engine sa Montero ug Fortuner, preha ramag output ang duha bisag mas dako dako ug displacement ang Montero. For a 3.2 engine, murag hinay mag output (165 HP). Ang 3.0 sa Fortuner has a 163 HP output. To put into perspective akong sakyanan which has a 3.5 Liter engine puts out 240 Horsepower.

Anyhow...a 2 HP advantage wouldn't be enough to leave the other one in the dust.

@tambok-sir naa pod ka sa tsikot forums right? hehe, mura nagpost2 ta did2 duha dri pod sa istorya. hehe

sa looks mura 60%monty(montero) ko 40%sa fort. if stock to stock comparison but if mag mods na sa monty ko.
ilisan na ligid ang monty head turner kau na.

heard from friends nindot daw ride sa monty. price? at par jud sa fort and i think wala pay 4x2 nigawas? 4x4 man cguro tanan.(pls clarify lng kay wa ko sure)
GLS and GLS SE(Special/Sports Edition?)
huwat nlng jud ta sa 2.5/2.7 engine ani para mas ma competitive na ni.
its selling like hotcakes "DAW" kay my friend bought a strada but na delayed ug paship iyang unit kay g-una daw ug ship mga monty tungod naa na buyers tanan and para naa na advertising at teh same time(montero running on the road)
