Toyota: Land Cruiser also as a hybrid 🎥
TRADITION AND MODERN A solid appearance. This is the new edition of the 4x4 classic Land Cruiser from Toyota. For more than 70 years, this model has been synonymous worldwide with safe operation on any terrain.
The history of the Land Cruiser goes back to 1951, when the Toyota BJ rolled onto the streets. This model was the first vehicle ever to reach the sixth mountain station on the slopes of Mount Fuji. Since then, the off-road legend has stood for durability and reliability on any surface worldwide.
Significantly higher stiffness
A new frame and body are designed to give the classic off-roader even greater rigidity. Electric power steering, available for the first time, increases comfort even when driving off paved roads. The decoupleable front stabilizer bar can be adjusted to driving conditions via a switch on the dashboard. The multi-terrain system has been further developed and will in future also offer a camera view of the road surface.
In Western Europe, Toyota offers the Land Cruiser with a 2.8-liter turbo diesel engine. This produces 204 hp and transmits its power via an 8-speed automatic transmission. The maximum towing capacity is 3.5 tons. An electrified powertrain in the form of a 48-volt hybrid system for the diesel has been announced for early 2025.
As a seven-seater if required
The Land Cruiser is available as a five- or seven-seater. It is 4.92 meters long, 1.98 meters wide and 1.87 meters high, and the wheelbase is 2.85 meters. Short overhangs, pronounced edges and a narrower underbody dominate the body. The flat hood, low beltline and low-lying side windows give good all-round visibility.
For the market launch, Toyota is creating a First Edition, which customers can reserve in the first pre-sales phase starting in October. It is limited to around 3000 units and has special styling features such as classic round headlights and a 2-tone paint finish. The first vehicles are expected to be delivered in the first half of 2024.
