Toyota Innova G AT or Fortuner G AT?

[torque&pepper]

Greetings! I've owned an Adventure since 2009 and did not care about its limitations as to speed or agricultural looks, but after my wife gave birth to our twins, I quickly realized the tight space, tagtag and noise in the cabin.

My budget ceiling would be the Fortuner G AT (diesel). Main considerations are:
1. Ability to comfortably fit 7 people (twins, wife, yayas);
2. Stability in highway runs (from Isabela to Manila travel);
3. Riding comfort;
4. Relatively silent cabin;
5. Adequate power; and
6. Available discounts?

I chose Toyota because their casa is near us. I'm not particular about diesel or gas variants but I see that on paper, diesels have more torque. I need your opinions since there is no way I can test drive these vehicles nor have I any first hand experience in riding one.

I have also considered the MUX but i got turned off with the 3% D.I., I've considered vans but they seem too cumbersome. I'm not keen on buying second hands.

Thank you in advance for your inputs!

Innova rides much better compared to the fortuner

Innova 3rd row seats much better than the fortuner

I like the gas better than the diesel because of the vibration and engine noise of the diesel.

^ agree. Mas bagay ang innova

[dos2]

innova din ako
cheaper to buy
cheaper to maintain
a lot better than your adventure
* next purchase na lang po kayo mag level up sa fortuner

Pag Innova, no need for the G model, the E would suffice for me.

eto rin dilemna ko 2 months ago. innova g dsl and fort g dsl. price difference of 200k. pero after lurking sa mga dealers mas nagustuhan ko yung fort. sa looks pa lang panalo na.hehe and may Wow factor effect kasi lalo na pang relatives mo ang nakakita. no regrets so far. para sa akin go sa fort pero nasayo pa rin yan basta happy ka sa ride mo in the next 5-7 yrs.

1. Ability to comfortably fit 7 people (twins, wife, yayas);
- fort and innova kaya ang 7 people
2. Stability in highway runs (from Isabela to Manila travel);
- break in ko ng fort sa baguio. lakas ng hatak lalo na sa highway
3. Riding comfort;
- no complaints naman sa mga sakay ko. nakaka tulog sila pag long drive
4. Relatively silent cabin;
- silent in way. may sounds ka naman. pero yung vibration ng diesel cympre andun pa din.
5. Adequate power; and
- walang bitin kahit automatic pa yan
6. Available discounts?
- bigger discounts pag may release date na ang new fort.

i would still go for the Fort due to the higher ground clearance. although comfort wise, Innova ako.

Kung comfort ang main consideration sir, sa Innova ang boto ko.

Innova pros
- dahil mas mababa, mas madaling sumakay at bumaba.
- 3rd row space and seating is way much more comfortable; can even fit 3 adults decently.
- sure ako na kasya ang strollers ng mga anak mo sa likod nang kahit na nakababa yung 3rd row seats.
Innova cons
- dahil mas mababa, mas madaling abutin ng baha.
- less powerful. ----> Pero for me, it's just enough. Given the speed limits, stupid drivers and people on the road, traffic condition, and of course your wife and kids aboard, I don't think I can make use of a "powerful" car.
- less porma, less macho

Fortuner
- matagtag, as in. kala ko matigas lang yung gulong ko pero nung chineck ko, 30psi lang.
- more powerful
- mas maporma, mas macho.

Yung ride comfort level ng innova is better than yung civic namin.
Less power than the fortuner? If they shared the same 2.5 engine di hamak na mas mabigat ang fort kesa innova.

I think they do not, currently, bro....

Old diesel engine ang Innova,- 100HP or something (is that correct?) vs. the VNT diesel engine ng Fortuner - 144 HP, 344Nmeter.....

Not sure though about the power to weight ratio or even the torque to weight ratio....

The Innova is a better choice for hauling people.

[torque&pepper]

Thanks everyone for your useful inputs. The Innova seems to get the approval of most, and it would appear that the main argument for the Fortuner is its looks, flood wading capability and power. When you carry your babies with you naman e super defensive driving ang mangyayari. As long as the Innova will be able to overtake jeepneys and tricycles safely and my passengers will ride in relative comfort, it'd be fine with me.

[r_delro]

Innova ka na...maintenance is affordable...power is adequate...more spacious than fortuner...mas matagtag ang fortuner than innova...we have both kase, i like the innova's ride better...pang practical ang innova, ang fortuner pang yabang...

I stand corrected bro... thought that the fortuner vnt engine upgrade is likewise slap to the innova power plant

[dr. d]

1. are you willing to fork out more money for the fortuner?
2. does your neighborhood have wider roads? the fort is wider than the innova.
3. malakas ba ang tuhod ng mga sasakay? mas mataas ang sahig ng fort.
4. can your ego live with the more pedestrian innova?

[SkyFlakes88]

Innova G gets my vote. More practical to own than the fort. More comfort,cheaper to maintain.[emoji4]

[Challenger75]

Since your main considerations are interior space and comfort, definitely the Innova. The non-intercooled d4d is a great engine and more than adequate for the vehicle. I'd worry more on that VN Turbocharger since those fins are constantly moving, more chances of breaking ika nga.

[DacoTyan]

Do you have to buy now? The new Innova is just around the corner.

You might want to reconsider other brands so you get more choices, unless the other brands' dealership is hours away.

[timming_gear]

Innova space and comfort wise. Kung Sa stability in highway runs mas matatag ang innova Kaysa sa Fortuner. Kung sa power hindi naman din bitin ang innova. :-)
+1 E variant na innova mas practical

[GTi]

Innova is the more practical purchase. Aside from the benefits of being more car-like than the Fortuner, it shares the Fortuner's sturdy platform and has an impressive wading depth especially considering its rather low ride height. Though extra power is always welcome, if you are no speed demon, it is already enough. The Hiace shares the same non-intercooled engine as the Innova, and it has proven its worth with so many Hiace UV Express and rental vans plying the Baguio route climbing Kennon Road in very spactacular fashion, with a payload of twice the Innova's maximum passenger capacity.
