Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Toyota Fortuner
- More powerful diesel engine
- 2021 facelift looks sportier than before
- Legender looks different and more stylish than the regular Fortuner
- Added features aid convenience in the cabin
- Electronic Differential Lock will aid off-road ability
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Looks like a true hot hatch with its red accents, 18-inch alloy wheels, and red GTI badges.
- The 2-litre TSI engine making 265 PS and 370 Nm offers an exhilarating performance and its goes from 0-100kmph in just 5.9 seconds
- Handles like a pro and feels like it's hugging the road while cornering, which further inspires confidence and elevates your drive experience.

Toyota Fortuner
- Still does not get a sunroof
- Fortuner has become costlier by up to Rs 3 lakh
- Legender does not get the 11-speaker music system
Volkswagen Golf GTI
- While the cabin does have soft touch materials, the plastics feel rough and do not feel right in this cabin. Not expected at this price point.
- It misses out on some features like leatherette seats, powered seats, and a branded sound system, all which are offered in much affordable cars.
