True Story: my father and mother (may Allah bless them a long life but ageing is inevitable) stopped riding Fortuner because
- Due to ageing (and a knee problem of my mother) it was getting difficult to climb into it and jump out of it.
- Every time it would get in potholes and bumps, according to them it would jump and give jolts
- On long journeys they felt extremely tired due to lack of comfort in both seats and suspension.
At the same time for aged people, sedans are equally uncomfortable when they have to bend knees and get into or out of them. So as a result the only ideal option left behind was a crossover therefore ended up buying a Sportage FWD and my parents are more than happy since. The seat comfort is absolutely amazing and suspension is also pretty soft.
If off-roading is not a requirement, 7 seats are not a requirement, image is not a requirement, and most of all comfort of elderly parents is important you don’t need a Fortuner and Crossovers are at the ideal sweet spot for such a purpose
