Fortuner, it’s a car that needs no introduction. In fact, Fortuner is a phenomenon in Pakistan. Whether it’s a politician, high-profile celebrity, law-enforcement agency, or any strong personality, you must have spotted Fortuner and Revo in their collection or in protocol. 

A powerful, reliable, and highly durable 4×4 SUV, especially known for its aggressive and iconic looks. From the interior, aesthetically, it’s not so pleasing, and you can’t compare it with other new candidates in the market. Its interior is more towards older generation Corolla, especially AC vents, instrumental cluster, and steering, which looks more like an inspiration from the 11th generation. However, if you need a solid investment, a durable machine, and a car with a very high resale value, Fortuner is the best option you can have in a 10.4 million budget.
