Ford Endeavour
The Fortuner and the Endeavour make up for the oldest rivalry in the segment. And in its new avatar, the Endeavour has managed to do one better than the Fortuner on several occasions. In their 2021 iterations, the Ford Endeavour continues to be more affordable than the Fortuner facelift starting at INR 29.99 lakh* for the base diesel variant. The range-topping variant, though, is on par with the standard Fortuner diesel automatic that is on sale for INR 35.45 lakh*. In terms of a variant-to-variant comparison, the standard Fortuner diesel automatic is substantially more expensive than the Endeavour that is only offered with an automatic transmission.
Mahindra Alturas G4
The Mahindra Alturas G4 is crowned in terms of pricing coming in as the most affordable offering in this segment and continues even now. Mahindra's flagship SUV is priced from INR 28.72 lakh* for the 4x2 automatic variant, going up to INR 31.72 lakh* for the top-spec 4x4 automatic version. The model gets an exhaustive feature list that comes with Nappa leather upholstery, ventilated seats, Hill Start/Descent Control, electric sunroof, and more. It also gets memory seats along with an 8-inch infotainment screen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In terms of sheer pricing, the Alturas G4 feels more value-friendly compared to the Fortuner facelift.
