Fortuner Legender vs GR: Which Is More Comfortable for Daily Driving?

[mustafaijaz]

Salam PakWheeler,

I’m looking to upgrade my current ride and can’t decide between two Fortuner variants:
- Fortuner Legender
- Fortuner GR (Gazoo Racing)

My main concern is ride comfort - I do a lot of city driving mixed with occasional long-distance trips on slightly rough roads. Things I care about most:
- Seat cushioning and support on long drives
- Suspension compliance over potholes and speed-breakers
- Cabin quietness (engine/road noise)
- Ease of entry/exit and overall ergonomics

A few more details:
- Daily commute of 40–60 km (urban & highway mix)
- Prefer to keep the stock suspension and setup

Questions for those who’ve driven both variants (10,000 km+):
1. How do they handle broken city roads with passengers onboard?
2. Which delivers the smoother ride on extended trips?
3. Is the GR’s sport-tuned suspension noticeably harsher for everyday use?
4. Which offers better rear-seat comfort for kids and elderly family members on long trips?

I’d appreciate feedback from owners. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Both of them are different as red and green apples. Most of the users complain that seat cushioning and support is not great for long journeys.

Prado suits you more brother
If comfort is the main the prado it is or if you could settle for a sante fe.
Fortuner/revo and comfort are 2 very different things

Long trip on Fortuner will break your back no matter what . during city driving you'll feel every small bump in the road throughout your body., if you have budget for a new GR i'd highly suggest getting a 2016 2017 clean and well maintained prado its a completely different ballgame.

I only suggest fortuner for anyone having max budget of 15 million and who wants a reliable rugged 4x4, 20 million and above fortuner makes no sense at all to me at least

Mr. Munj's claims about GR's Monotube shocks having some special air suspension ride qualities are nothing but hilarious.

Both are uncomfortable.
Its an unbreakbale offroader built for rugged duties. Its not built for comfort.

Fortuner's cushioning is a lot less than Prado, find a clean Prado.
