Jetour Dashing Lightning i-DM i-DM HEV (2024) vs Toyota Fortuner 2.4 G 4×2 M/T (2021): which should you buy?
For a Filipino buyer weighing cost, power, and everyday practicality, the Jetour Dashing Lightning i‑DM HEV edges out the Toyota Fortuner despite a modest price gap. Priced at ₱1.748 million, the Jetour is slightly cheaper than the Fortuner’s ₱1.775 million and comes with a far longer warranty – six years unlimited versus three years or 100,000 km. The Jetour’s 1.5‑litre turbocharged hybrid powertrain delivers 168 PS and 230 Nm, giving it a smoother, more fuel‑efficient drive for city commuting, while the Fortuner’s larger 2.4‑litre diesel produces 150 PS but a hefty 400 Nm, favouring low‑speed torque for off‑road or heavy‑load situations. In size, the Jetour is a small crossover SUV (5‑seat) built on unibody construction, making it easier to maneuver and park in urban Manila traffic. The Fortuner is a midsize, body‑on‑frame SUV with a 2‑+‑3‑+‑2 seating layout, better suited for larger families or cargo needs but less agile in tight streets. Both have five doors and similar drivetrain layouts (FWD vs RWD), but the Jetour’s hybrid system and longer warranty make it the more practical, cost‑effective choice for daily commuting and small‑family use, while the Fortuner remains the go‑to for those needing extra seating, payload and rugged capability.
