Toyota Fortuner

One thing which really makes the Mitsubishi Montero Sport praiseworthy is the gorgeous looks it has been bestowed with. The Montero Sport completely ditches the traditional old school stance for a much more modern and futuristic take, which completely has taken the benchmark to a whole new level.
Being a large seven-seater, Mitsubishi has managed to rake insufficient amount of space on the inside. While the seats feel comfortable with ample back and under thigh support, all the three rows, including the third one feels spacious for even tall people with ease.
The previous generation Montero lacked behind its rivals in terms of comfort and convenience features, but not this one. The new generation Mitsubishi Montero Sport comprises of a long list of features which the rival SUVs are equipped with, with some of the features being exclusive to it.
Compared to the butch old school and dated appeal of other high-end SUVs from Toyota, the Fortuner looks as if it belongs to the future. The Fortuner looks radical and aerodynamic – a sentence which rarely makes sense when SUVs are taken into conversation.
For a vehicle of this size and butch appeal, the Fortuner amazes you with its incredibly low after sales maintenance costs. The service bills are comparable to that of a premium hatchback from other car makers, which is one hard but true fact to believe. This is another major reason why Toyota is praised a lot for its quality and durability on a worldwide basis.
The humongous size and dimensions of the Fortuner literally translate into acres of space available on the inside. Being a seven-seater SUV, the Fortuner has ample amount of space for both second as well as third row, making it one of the most practical large SUVs in the market right now.
The new Mitsubishi Montero Sport has been designed with utmost precision and modernity on the outside. However, on the inside, things are not as radical, as the cabin and dashboard feel plain and not that uber cool. The instrument console as well as the center console which features the touch screen infotainment system, could have been designed in a more radical way, which would have complemented the exterior design fully.
While the large dimensions and size definitely give the Fortuner an authoritative stance, the same butch appeal makes a fowl play when driven in tight city traffic conditions. The big turning radius, as well as large dimensions, need experienced hands to keep it under control.
The Fortuner looks absolutely smashing when viewed from the outside, however, things are sadly not the same when you step into the cabin. The dashboard layout feels a bit plain for a vehicle of this premium stature.
Complementing the staid appeal of the Fortuner’s interior cabin layout is the lack of comfort and convenience features in it. In a time when SUVs are preferred over sedans thanks to the formers’ flexibility and more number of features, the Fortuner packs in much lower features when compared to rivals.
