The Land Cruiser is Toyota\u2019s longest running vehicle <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> ever, having just reached its 16th generation after first debuting way back in 1951. Some 14 years since the 200-Series was launched in 2007, the all-new 300-Series version has arrived with a bolder exterior, new engines, more luxury inside, and a further evolution of that same bullet-proof reliability that made the car a living legend.<\/p>\n<p>But order one today, and you won\u2019t be picking it up until summer 2023. Yes, that\u2019s right. The new Land Cruiser has a waiting time of over two years! According to Toyota, the intermittent supply of superconductors and parts from South-East Asia has severely hampered the production of the new model to the extent that Toyota in Japan has stopped taking orders. Deliveries to major export markets will be delayed as well.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348069\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_15.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_15.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348069\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_15.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_15.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"f650d65e7ba1ca836b904b2a-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"f650d65e7ba1ca836b904b2a-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Image Credits: Toyota Japan<\/em><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348060\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_6.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348060\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>In its home market of Japan, it may not be one of the brand\u2019s big sellers (when they have enough inventory to sell that is!), but over the last seven decades, the Land Cruiser has become a hugely popular, heavy-duty, go-anywhere vehicle in regions like the Middle East, Australia, Russia and Africa. Up against strong rivals like the Land Rover Defender and Mercedes Benz G-Class, Toyota\u2019s superior build quality wins out.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Middle_East_and_Australia_Account_for_over_70_of_sales\"><\/span>Middle East and Australia Account for over 70% of sales<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While the Middle East market might account for around 60% of global sales, my home country of Australia just h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens to boast a 10% global share thanks to a strong rural fan-base where more than two in three farmers own a Land Cruiser. The reasons: reliability, durability, and cost performance. Whether in the Middle East or Australia, when you\u2019re 100 miles from the nearest town, in rough off-road terrain and the temperature is 45C, you can\u2019t afford to break down. If this off-roader is famous for anything, it\u2019s not breaking down.<\/p>\n<p>The vehicle\u2019s unparalleled reliability, dependability, and popularity make the Land Cruiser a greatly sought-after vehicle in many parts of the world\u2014to the extent that a thriving underground network of smuggling and illegal exportation has developed.

Firstly is it the design? Unlike the Defender, G-Class, Jeep, Ford Bronco, or even Suzuki Jimny, which, over the years, have inherited similar and evolving design themes from generation to generation, the Land Cruiser has not had one identifiable exterior feature throughout the decades. So Toyota could have been really adventurous with the new model\u2019s design, in the same way as Land Rover totally overhauled the Defender\u2019s styling but retained key design characteristics from previous models thus maintaining the styling lineage. But it was not. A big part of what Toyota did do to make the car handle better and improve economy and emissions made the Land Cruiser some 200-kgs lighter by employing such weight-saving measures as lighter powertrains and an aluminum roof and hood. The new model now tips the scales at around 2430-kgs.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"954\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_9.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"954\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_9.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"arve\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-nczs-b1tlqm619fac5167e33645688555\" style=\"max-width:1050px;\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\">\n<span class=\"arve-inner\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.285714%\"><\/span><br \/>\n<meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/ncZs-B1TLqM?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\"><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" data-arve=\"arve-youtube-nczs-b1tlqm619fac5167e33645688555\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/ncZs-B1TLqM?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"591\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/ncZs-B1TLqM?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" width=\"1050\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Design_Features_New_Body-On-Frame_Chassis\"><\/span>Design Features New Body-On-Frame Chassis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Simply put, the new 300-Series Land Cruiser, which comes in a choice of either 5-seater or 7-seater versions, looks like a neat, safe, unadventurous evolution of the outgoing 200-Series. The new model inherits the same boxy proportions, but this time it gets a larger, bolder grille and similar squarish headlights. With more on-road presence, the new version does appear more rugged, having been given accented edges and lines on its side profile, flared wheel arches, deeper side skirts, and a more stylized D-pillar.<\/p>\n<p>What does all that mean? It translates to Toyota wanting to please a strong, global but conservative customer base who care a lot more about the reliability and the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> than design flare. The bottom line is that Land Cruiser owners want more of the same performance and reliability, more of what this tough SUV has delivered over the last 70 years.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348067\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_13.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348067\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_13.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><em>Image Credits: Toyota Japan<\/em><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_18.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_18.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_18.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_18.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><em>Image Credits: Toyota Japan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of technology, the new 300-Series sits on the same upgraded platform as the Lexus LX and US-spec Toyota Tundra, quirkily referred to as the TNGA-F (Toyota New Global Architecture, the \u2018F\u2019 referring to full-size SUVs) platform. This refers to the Land Cruiser\u2019s separate body and chassis setup or as Toyota calls it, a \u2018body-on-frame\u2019 structure. For the record, some SUVs like the Defender use a monocoque body shell like many cars, whereas others including the Jeep Wrangler and G-Class, have a separate body and chassis. Now, having a separate chassis, like the Jeep and Land Cruiser, allows carmakers to fit solid axles and beefier suspension to absorb sizable off-road undulations. This also aids in providing more precise, sharper handling and better ride quality.<\/p>\n<p>The outgoing 200-Series model used Toyota\u2019s Kinetic Dynamic System which could change the stiffness of the dampers and even temporarily disconnect the anti-roll bars to provide better axle articulation or improved traction on uneven surfaces. The new 300-Series employs a similar system but it is controlled by electronics instead of hydraulics which allows it to react faster and be more compliant in changing road conditions.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348056\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348056\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348058\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_4.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348058\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Driving_Experience\"><\/span>The Driving Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Given the Land Cruiser\u2019s pedigree as an unbreakable off-roader, it incorporates full-time 4WD and locking differentials as standard.

That\u2019s connected to the Multi-terrain Monitor that shows you a virtual \u2018see-through\u2019 of the SUV\u2019s hood on the infotainment system to give you a clear view of what rocks and ruts lie ahead.

Gone are the aging gasoline and diesel V8s, replaced by newly developed V6 twin turbo gasoline and diesel powertrains with 10-speed automatic transmissions. That\u2019s right, the old 8-speed has been upgraded to an eye-opening 10-speed box. The new Land Cruiser might get a 10-speed automatic gearbox, but being a heavy-duty off-roader, it also comes with the usual low-range gears allowing you to engage slow crawl modes to descend sharp slopes.<\/p>\n<p>The smaller, more compact gasoline V6 3.5-liter produces 415-hp and 650-Nm of torque, a figure that significantly outperforms the previous gasoline V8\u2019s 381-hp and 543-Nm. Meanwhile, the diesel V6 3.3-liter twin turbo pumps out 309-hp but generates a gutsy 700-Nm of torque which makes it the more desirable choice for farmers in Australia, for example, who need plenty of pulling power to haul trailers and livestock around.<\/p>\n<p>Both V6s deliver better fuel economy, lighter curb weights, cleaner emissions, and more power, which all sounds like the holy grail of engine lineups. And well it may be for the Land Cruiser. Having spent some time behind the wheel of both the new gasoline and diesel versions, I\u2019d have to say that both deliver more than enough performance, merge smoothly and powerfully in traffic, and generate good pulling power while reducing your fuel costs. Improved sound absorbing materials in the cabin and floor also make the driving experience more pleasant with less wind and road noise reaching the cockpit. In fact, the Land Cruiser is approaching the whispery silence of the Lexus LX, especially on the gasoline version. At idle and low revs, however, the diesel V6 still displays the customary diesel clatter of previous versions until you get the car over around 20km\/h.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348059\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_5.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348059\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_20.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_20.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_20.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_20.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><em>Image Credits: Toyota Japan<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Did_Toyota_Pinch_Some_Lexus_Designers\"><\/span>Did Toyota Pinch Some Lexus Designers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ah, that new cabin. Toyota seems to have pinched some designers from Lexus because the new interior is leagues ahead of the outgoing model. Fitted with soft leather, high quality plastics, aluminum accents, and shiny tactile switches, the 300-Series feels more like a Range Rover than an old Land Cruiser. It is far more high-tech with full digital readouts in the driver\u2019s binnacle, and a large touchscreen boasting crystal clear graphics and easy-to-use slide functions. But one aspect of this new model I particularly like is its bent for analog switches that all have a luxurious look and feel to them including the air-conditioner and audio volume controls.<\/p>\n<p>One other feature that really caught my eye was the power-assisted 3rd row seat foldaway and fold-out function. Press a button just inside the rear doors and you will engage electric motors that slowly raise the 3rd row seat back from a fully flat position to an upright one, before revealing the seat cushion from under the floor like a kid poking their tongue out at you.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly this function is not available on models supplied to the U.S., a country that actually does not get the new Land Cruiser. According to a U.S. colleague, Toyota made a big mistake in its marketing plan by phasing out the 300-Series from the American lineup. The only cars that will be supplied are vehicles destined for armored vehicle production companies like Alpine Armoring in the Washington DC area. They will fit bulletproof glass, armor plating, and solid rubber tires to entry-level Land Cruisers for local customers needing the best on-road security.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348070\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_16.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_16.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348070\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_16.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_16.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><em>Image Credits: Toyota Japan<\/em><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348053\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"418\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_21.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348053\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"418\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_21.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><em>Image Credits: Toyota Japan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As I pointed out above, the Land Cruiser is a prime target for car thieves in Japan and beyond. In fact, when I test drove the car in Japan last month, I was handed to rather surprising pieces of 20th century anti-theft devices\u2014namely a tyre clamp and an anti-theft steering wheel bar. I\u2019ve been test driving cars in Japan for over 30 years and I have never been asked by a manufacturer to fit these very analog clunky devices to a hi-tech vehicle. That of course is not saying that Toyota has not done everything it can to prevent theft. To (try to) counter those with light fingers, Toyota designers have fitted a first for the Land Cruiser\u2014a fingerprint recognition ignition switch as well as other reinforced anti-theft capabilities. Before you can drive the new model, you have to \u2018register\u2019 your fingerprint on the starter button and position the key fob next to the starter switch just to be able to start the engine. To be honest, it felt eery having to use the latest theft prevention technology alongside a tyre clamp and a steering wheel bar.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this state-of-the-art anti-theft device, the car also gets the latest in safety features. Fitted with adaptive cruise control as standard equipment, the 300-Series also gets a blind spot monitor and lane keeping functions of the Toyota Safety Sense system but also employs an upgraded safety kit including pedestrian and cyclist detection and emergency braking.<\/p>\n<p>For those who might be considering a Land Cruiser but think it looks too conservative when compared to the G-Class and Defender, Toyota has also announced a \u2018GR\u2019 version. Yes, that translates as a sporty high-performance model specially built by Gazoo Racing, Toyota\u2019s in-house motorsport and customizing arm. They\u2019re the same people who conceived the GR Yaris, GR Supra, and GR86. But don\u2019t get too excited that you\u2019ll be able to compete in the grueling Dakar Rally. The GR Land Cruiser is more like a dressed up version kind of like Audi\u2019s S Line series of vehicles that offer visual upgrades.<\/p>\n<h2><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348065\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"954\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_11.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348065\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"954\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_11.jpg\"><\/h2>\n<h2><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_8.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-348062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2021\/11\/23\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Review\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2021\/11\/2021-toyota-land-cruiser-review\/2021_Toyota_LandCruiser_review_yankodesign_8.jpg\"><\/h2>\n<p><em>Image Credits: Toyota Japan<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pricing_and_Options\"><\/span>Pricing and Options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The new Land Cruiser 300-Series comes with a choice of either diesel V6 twin turbo or gasoline V6 twin turbo engines, both mated to 10-speed automatic transmissions. Customers also get a choice of five or seven seats and a sporty GR version as well. The diesel version starts at 7.6 million yen (@$66,580) while the gasoline model starts at 7.3 million yen ($63,900). But given that deliveries will be delayed indefinitely due to parts supply issues, we can expect some premium prices to be paid as people try just about anything to grab one of these hugely popular models. Just as long as they don\u2019t try to pinch one, says Toyota.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-348076\"
