A hybrid seven-seater and a body-on-frame petrol seven-seater sit a 16.8% header-price gap apart in Pakistan. The Toyota Fortuner G 4x2 2TR Std Petrol lists at PKR 12,435,000 ex-factory. The Hyundai Santa Fe Signature card lists at PKR 14,720,000. Gap on the header / Quick summary: PKR 2,285,000.
Important trim note: this live comparison uses the Toyota Fortuner G 4x2 2TR Std Petrol with RWD, not a 4x4 Fortuner. Treat clearance and drive in that light.
Price flag: the live page header and Quick summary show Santa Fe at PKR 14,720,000, but a Price matrix Ex-Factory Price cell shows Santa Fe at PKR 12,450,000 (which would nearly erase the gap versus Fortuner). We use the header / Quick summary figures for the gap below and call out the conflict so you verify before buying. Same SUV body type, different powertrain story: HEV vs ICE.

Choose the Toyota Fortuner G 4x2 2TR Std Petrol if you want the lower header sticker, higher ground clearance and Toyota body-on-frame petrol RWD packaging with seven seats, and you accept that this page is the 4x2 Std Petrol trim (not 4x4) plus thinner ADAS verification and lower listed power.

Confirm Santa Fe header vs Ex-Factory Price, power/torque and drive-train conflicts plus Fortuner junk Specs rows before you buy, then compare them live on the Hyundai Santa Fe vs Toyota Fortuner comparison page.
