Mahindra Alturas G4 vs Ford Endeavour vs Toyota Fortuner vs Isuzu MU-X:  Comparison Review

From the above table it is clear that if you are driving majorly in the city, the Alturas G4 is the most economical, though the Fortuner takes the lead on the highway. The Ford Endeavour is the least frugal SUV here no matter the condition, which is not surprising since it has the biggest engine of all, pumping out maximum power and torque.  The mu-X is the second least frugal SUV here in all the three conditions.
