For me sir, if it's just between Fortuner G and Mux 3.0, I would go with Mux.
IMHO Fortuner G is too bare for it's price.

Go for the MU-X even if the interior is the oldest among the bunch and the mux you're eyeing the totl 4x2 which has features not found on the fortuner g. The MU-X 3.0 4jj1 hi - tc engine has a fuel consumption just like a 1.5 engine hehe

what are your insights between the two?

thanks in advance! having a hard time din in deciding between the two.

Para maiba lang ang comparo... Given na bang for the buck naman talaga si Mux eh. Kahit san mo pa tignan. But why? Nilabas ang car na ito since 2012 pa. Given na 8 years lang usual life span. By 2020 or earlier, maglabas na yan ng ALL NEW mux/trail.

Meaning, 4 years mo na lang ma-enjoy(brag.. LOL) ang oto mo then phase out na.

Now for all new models(monty/eve/fort.) By 2024 pa ito "maluluma" at lalabas ang all new... As we know, puro MMC lang gagawin, palit ilaw, bumper, etc...

SUV and pickups have longer cycles of about 10-12 years.

At hindi 2012 lumabas ang mux. 2014 ba or 2015?

Still same point applies, trail/mux platform older by 4 years... If you buy an all new model ngaun. Mas ma enjoy mo sya being all new platform for 10-12years.

If you buy trail/MuX today, after 6-8 years. May makakasalubong ka na sa daan na all new model ng sa yo.

Thank you for this sir! I'm leaning towards the MU-X na. Will be checking out dealers this weekend.

I would suggest that you check out all your options, test drive them, and then narrow it down from there. That's better than listening to anonymous advice from the internet and just test driving one car. What if the competitors offered something that others missed out on?

Definitely, the MUX has more features than the Fortuner G. Reliability-wise, both the Toyota and Isuzu have good track records. The MUX has a bigger engine, but fuel consumption should be similar with, if not better than the Fortuner. Power is also roughly the same - the MUX has more horsepower (163 vs 147) but the Fortuner has more torque (400 vs 380 Nm) and has a newer AT with more gears (6AT vs 5AT).

Between the two, I still prefer the Fortuner. I would prefer a car that makes me happy when i look at and drive it. The MUX's exterior is so-so for me, while the interior looks downright cheap. It's also more truck-like to drive than the Fortuner. The Fortuner G has a hideous interior color scheme, but you can always upgrade that. The rims are also small-ish, but again it's upgradeable. At least the body in itself looks very sleek and upscale, something that can't be said for the MUX.

The MUX isn't a bad car though, it's actually great value as it's priced much cheaper than other TOTL 4x2 PPVs (same price as the entry level variants).
