Haven't driven it much yet. Just drove it from Dealership to my home.
Build Quality is ok not as good as Japanese vehicles.
Lots of gadgets.
Headroom not much in the rear.
Performance wise didn't feel sluggish, I haven't pushed it much as its a new engine.
Overall nice family SUV.

According to the article on themotoreport website in Australia

Toward the end of September 2017 the Toyota Fortuner has tallied just 1960 sales, a decline of over 40 percent compared to this time last year, putting it behind Toyota’s own Kluger (9136 sales) and Prado (12,071) while also trailing direct competitors including the Holden Trailblazer (2311), Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (5489) and Isuzu MU-X (5829), all of which have managed to grow sales year-on-year.

"Fortuner GX
The entry-level Fortuner GX now starts from $42,590 (plus on-road costs, six-speed manual) with new 17-inch alloy wheels in place of the previous steel wheels and rear park sensors join the standard equipment list. The new price is $5400 cheaper than before."

Which means now it starts at ~35 Lac PKR in Australia and top spec is for ~47lac with 8 way adjustable front power heated seats

The thing is, they have more availability of options in closer brackets. But in Pakistan, talking only about brand new SUVs, the gap is 55 vs 155 roughly. I bet if Fortuner and Prado were both locally assembled and Fortuner was 55 vs Prado at 75 for brand new, same might have been the case. Keeping in mind many people still prefer the old ones at 70-75 instead of this local Fortuner.

In Australia the gap isn’t 3 times

[Rameezi]

Yes but Toyota is a global brand and product prices and profit margins ought to stay consistent. It will be more ethical to offer a 10% discount in all markets, because its the same car.

Why can McDonald's offer the lowest prices in the world in Pakistan but Toyota can only offer the highest?

[arkhitekt]

Its called a monoply which these local automakers have in Pakistan

[Rameezi]

Yeah i'm sure if import duty is removed local car prices would become lowest in the world then and we may begin exports to developing and underdeveloped countries.

My rear number plate light is fused or not working, the one which is integrated in the rear camera. Can I have it changed under warranty?

[Dawar]

Yes, without a doubt but it shouldn't be broken.
