Fortuner or RX?

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.

luxury? kailangan pa bang i-memorize yan?

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.

Fortuner? A luxury SUV? naahh... it's just an SUV. The RX Should be compared to what altis said, toyota land cruiser.

or ford exped eddie bauer. That's the comparison. I'll not answer yet because the comparison isn't right.

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

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.
