The Toyota Fortuner is the affordable way into a seven-seat, body-on-frame SUV in the UAE — Hilux running gear under a family cabin, equally at home on the school run and a dune track. We have 11 used Fortuners listed.
How much does a used Toyota Fortuner cost in the UAE?
Around AED 68,000 buys a 2020 Fortuner; a 2024 averaged AED 123,000. Live prices run from AED 39900 for a late-2010s car up to AED 119990 for a current-year one, about 25% below a new Fortuner.
Which used Toyota Fortuner year should you buy?
2019 to 2022 is the sweet spot. The second-generation Fortuner arrived for the 2016 model year on the then-new Hilux platform, so 2016 is the line to be on the right side of. The 2021 facelift added a new nose, a bigger screen and more power, so a late pre-facelift car is the value buy.
Is a used Toyota Fortuner reliable in the UAE?
Only 10% of the Toyota Fortuners we inspect in the UAE show a mechanical fault in the engine, gearbox, suspension or steering, against the 17% we would expect for SUVs of the same age and mileage in the Emirates. Electrical faults and tyre problems both come in at 6%, against the 12% we would expect for the same class.
Does a used Toyota Fortuner hold its value in the UAE?
About 66% after five years, against roughly 56% for the SUVs it competes with. Even the dearer Toyota Prado trails it, at about 63%.
Toyota Fortuner or Mitsubishi Pajero?
The Mitsubishi Pajero costs less and is the honest budget alternative, though more of them carry previous panel work. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is similar money and better on road, but returns about 39% after five years against the Fortuner's 66%.
What to look over on a used Toyota Fortuner
- Underbody and suspension bushes — the giveaway on a car used off-road.
- Service history, continuous rather than a flurry just before sale.
- Third-row mechanism and rear AC vents, often neglected.
- Tyres matched front to rear, dated within four years.
Read the underbody and suspension sections of the CarSwitch inspection report before you make an offer on any Fortuner — that is where two identical-looking cars stop being identical.
