@aziz5627 The Fortuner is part of Toyota's IMV project in Thailand, which also includes the Toyota Hilux and the Kijang Innova (in Indonesia), It is not offered in Japan, Europe, North America, Australasia, or China
I'll take a US spec Sorento SX with the 276 HP V6 and AWD instead, that gets rid of all the hard plastics and adds some quality leather. And here in the US it's very cheap compared to rivals, and lets not forget that 10 year/100,000 mile warantee!!!
This car just accidently landed in Europe and it's also accidently sell here. It has typical american design and size. And it's not really that interesting here among EU people.
@mx5hong Are you serisous?? I saw a Sorento in person just few days ago and it's huuuge. A big block of metal. I can't imagine driving this thing. So what's considered as a large SUV in US?
@846524162 I take it you're not living in the U.S. There's a whole slew of them here in the U.S. from GM, Ford and Chrysler such as the Chevy Suburban, Ford Expedition, Dodge Durango, too many to list. Import makes such as Toyota and Honda have large SUV designed and manufactured in the U.S. such has the Honda Pilot, Nissan Armada and the Toyota Sequoia.
@mx5hong No, I'm not from US, I'm from Slovenia, EU. I thought people in US ''abandoned'' large SUV in last few years, because of the consumption and ecology and stuff. But looks like that's not the case? So just as an example, if you took 20 cars on a regular parking lot in front of a mall, how many of those would be large SUV like you mentioned, ford explorer and so on?
@846524162 You're right in one sense that the US buyers scaled back on SUVs a bit and went with crossovers. Ford used to sell the Excursion(google it!)but cancelled it b/c of the sheer size and awful fuel consumption (V10 engine!). Also,our definition of a minivan or MPV is totally different than the EU. And of the 20 cars you mentioned, I would say somewhere between 5 and 8 for the full sized SUV. And almost half if you include ones like the Sorento.
@mx5hong Thats interesting, totally diffrent story here in EU. Ford Excursion would be considered as a big-foot size, you wouldn't be able to park it anywhere or even drive on the road in the urban areas, it's that big. But good news they canceled it, since it's really a waste of space and consumption is too big. Completly other way around here. Out of 20 cars here, 1 would be Sorento size, and around 10 would be Ford Fiesta size, since thats one of the smalles cars you have in US, like we do.
@846524162 The minivan's (or MPV in Europe) size is getting out of hand over here. They're not mini anymore. VW wants to offer minivans in the US but they think what they offer in Europe is too small so they sell a rebadged version of the Chrysler minivans called the Routan. Ford was going to sell the Grand C-Max in the US but they cancelled that plan at the last minute. I guess Ford thought it was too small.
@mx5hong To tell you the truth, Ford Grand or normal C-Max is even here considered as a medium sized van, it's hardly any bigger then Focus. On the other hand, Ford has great car S-Max which would be more suited for US, I don't know why they don't offer it in US. But the Routan is right one for US, it's too big for EU. Same thing with Chrysler Voyager which is considered as a minivan in US, here it's way too big, you can see one per year if your lucky.
I don't like how the carpet moves around at 1:38, does not instill a sense of quality. Also, you called the Sorento "capable", but the same location you use in most of your videos to show offroad capability does not do justice to any vehicle with ground clearance higher than a Formula One car. You need to find a better location for more realistic off-road testing.
I think that watermelon remained stuck in that glovebox!
