    Hey everybody, I have one question when buying a luxury SUV, which luxury SUV would be better for your taste? The Toyota Fortuner or the Lexus RX? Take your pick please.

    I don't think the Fortuner is considered a luxury SUV. For the price alone, the Lexus RX should compare favorably with the Toyota Land Cruiser.

    I think may point yung TS. I just checked yung receipt ko sa LTO and my Fortuner 3.0d4d is tagged as "luxury suv?" I think kaya nilalagay nila sa "luxury" segment eh syempre para mas mataas ang fee na babayaran mo.

    Siguro nga considered luxury suv kasi ganun rin ang tag ng sorento, cr-v, santa fe at alterra ko.

    Baka ultra-luxury suv dapat ang tag sa Lexus gaya ng Murano, CX9 at Q7.

    The classification of the LTO is to justify the higher registration fees and road tax. If you check out how insurance companies classify such vehicles, they'll say its a commercial vehicle.

    ^+1 it's not what it says in the paper, we all know that Fortuner is not and will never be a luxury SUV

    Fortuner? A luxury SUV?? That is madness, eh pang Asia lang yun eh Luxury does not mean lahat meron, kaya nga luxury only the privileged and accomplished few should have it. With that said it still depends on your need. The RX is a crossover, it excles well on the road hindi matagtag and handles better. Light off road lang yan though being a crossover. The Fortuner has better off-road capability pero lampaso sa road kasi matagtag sya.

    of course naman. I was just informing on what is said sa lto receipt. Alam mo naman mahilig maghanap ng loophole ang atin mga officials para may dagdag "income." I own a Q7 and I can tell they're leagues apart. It's no different than a Mazda Tribute vs. a CX-9. Same brand but that's where the similarities end. Toyota has a general market appeal whereas the Lexus caters to a more exclusive set of individuals considering that Lexus is part-owned by Toyota.

    Lexus RX. The Fortuner in NO WAY a luxury SUV. Eh para kang nakasakay sa truck na maganda interior sa sobrang tagtag! Also, the price difference is a no brainer.

    My Lynx is a "luxury" car, because I have 400cc too much engine...

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Going back to question Lexus vs. Fortuner.
    Syempre Lexus... kasi nga luxury.
    Sa dami ng Fortuner sa kalsada, its no longer a luxury.

    sinasabi naman ng toyota pag binebenta nila yung fortuner sa ads sa site or sa person na mismo eh luxury dating nyang kotse na yan kaya i dont think i should blame the thread starter for comparing the fortuner to an rx. kasi kung titignan mo interior design, kakaiba talaga sa mga modern like what's inside a jimny or swift diba? pati na rin sa interior ng mga sinaunang cars.

    pero honestly, luxury means sobrang mahal na few lang meron just like what sir tidus said so my vote goes for the lexus. heads up display pa lang ng new rx pati mark levinson nun taob na 09 fortuner e hehe though the fortuner seats 7 unlike sa rx which is 5 only. id still pick the rx anytime

    What? Lexus or Fort? Common, Siempre if you have the bucks and would like to flaunt it, go for Lexus. But if you don't have the gall to display your hard earned money go for the Fort. Both have each advantages and disadvantages. If you like the BIR to tail ended you, go for Lex. If you like the bang but short of the bucks go for the Fort. But in these times of economic impasse, i'd settle for the fort, mahirap na e uso pa naman ang kidnapping ngayon.

    how can one say the fort is a luxury suv when the ride is comparable to feeling like a sack of rice thrown at the back of a pick up truck? when one speaks of a luxury vehicle it is quite explicit that comfort comes with it. sitting on a luxuriously padded leather executive chair is not the same as sitting on a wooden park bench. the same is true with an RX and a fortuner. the RX is a luxury suv, the fort is a truck. period.
