How good of a car is the Fortuner? (Wait hear me out)

Disclaimer: We come from a very civilised educated family. We do not use emergency lights while driving. We do not misbehave at Toll gates. Never been in a car fight or road rages. We do not display our caste name in the rear windshield with weird symbols. I hope you understand by the above disclaimer that I am not of one ((them)). You know very well whom I'm talking about. So coming to the real question how is fortuner as a car? Anyone who has it or has test driven it, how are the suspensions, steering feedback, performance and overall maintenance? I'm solely asking because my dad needs a replacement for his Creta (no he doesn't honk or ever use high beams unnecessarily) and needs a car that is kinda a traffic car but still it has to "make a statement" on the road. You feel me? He loves the Ford Everest but apparently this weird country doesn't have a taste in cars like that so yeah you don't find it here anymore. There is no other car in the segment unfortunately other than Kodiaq but we already have a Slavia. I keep on telling him up his budget by 10 lakhs by waiting a few weeks/months and get the BMW X1 instead. Thoughts?
