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.

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.
