The Toyota Fortuner is the most popular, segment-leading full-size SUV in India. Recently, Jeep has stepped into this segment with the Meridian. Now, with the increase in competition,  Toyota Fortuner would need some modern features to take on the Meridian. In this article on Fortuner vs Meridian, we have listed some features Toyota Fortuner needs to take on the Jeep Meridian.

Better Infotainment System

The Fortuner gets a basic 8.0-inch infotainment system. This feels very outdated in the modern world. The new Jeep Meridian gets modern 10.1-inch infotainment. So, Toyota must update the infotainment system of the Toyota Fortuner. The modern infotainment system would also help to improve the overall interior look.

Panoramic sunroof

Being a full-size SUV, the Fortuner still does not get a sunroof. Its new competitor, the Jeep Meridian comes with a huge panoramic sunroof. Also, many below-segment cars like the Mahindra  XUV700, Tata Harrier, and Hyundai Creta get a panoramic sunroof. So, Toyota must add a panoramic sunroof to catch up with the market. 

Fortuner vs Meridian – Digital instrument Cluster

The Fortuner gets a normal analog plus digital instrument cluster. This looks very basic as compared to the competition. The Jeep Meridian gets a 10.25-inch display as its instrument cluster. The digital display not only looks modern but also helps in easy visibility of the information. Fortuner must get a fully-digital instrument cluster to enhance the cabin appeal.

Fortuner vs Meridian – Electronic parking brake

Using an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), drivers can activate the rear brakes just by pressing a button while parking. The EPB gives the cabin a cleaner look and is easy to use as well. The Toyota Fortuner should get an EPB instead of a normal parking brake lever.
