How we score this
The verdict is not a count of who wins more specs. Each measure carries a fixed weight, the same on every comparison on this site, and the totals above are the weighted sum. Price and ground clearance count heaviest because budget and road surface are what most Nepali buyers are actually constrained by. These weights are our editorial judgement — published so you can disagree with the specific number rather than the conclusion.
- Price
- The binding constraint for most buyers.
- Ground clearance
- Nepali road surface decides where a car can actually go.
- Safety rating
- Independent crash testing, where published.
- Power
- Rarely the deciding factor at these prices.
- Torque
- Matters on climbs, but tracks power closely.
10 points are available on this pairing — battery and range only apply when at least one car is electric. Tied measures award points to neither car.
When we call a gap a tie
A difference has to be big enough to change your experience of the car before we score it. Below these thresholds a measure is a tie and neither car takes the points, because a 5 mm clearance edge or a 1% price gap is not a reason to buy anything.
- Price — 3% of the dearer car
- Below 3%, dealer discount and financing terms move more money than the sticker gap does.
- Ground clearance — 10 mm
- Tyre choice and load change ride height by more than this. Under 10 mm is not a real difference on a broken road.
- Safety rating — half a star
- Star ratings are coarse and each step is a real structural difference, so any full-step gap counts.
- Power — 5 hp
- Under 5 hp is not perceptible from the driver's seat.
- Torque — 10 Nm
- Under 10 Nm is not perceptible on a climb.
How this pairing scored
Weighted scorecard: Toyota Fortuner 3, Toyota Land Cruiser 250 0, out of 10, with 4 measures tied.
