Toyota Fortuner has been reigning the segment with not only its popularity, but also the gigantic sales it holds in the segment every month while its rivals sales are always in triple-digit. This could change as the Fortuner is getting a new rival from Nissan on August 1st which may attract the Fortuner-fans towards itself.
