Meet the allnew Toyota Land Cruiser!

It’s been 72 years since Toyota released the very first Land Cruiser, and since then there have been over 10 generations of this offroading legend! The question is, has this new edition been worth the wait?

Well based on looks alone, we’d say it definitely has! The new Land Cruiser rolls up with a retro, boxy design that reminds us of a classic Defender, Suzuki Jimny, and Mercedes GClass. Whether you’re looking at it from the front, side, or rear, the boxy design is clear to see and we absolutely love it!

What’s more, Toyota will also be releasing a limited edition First Edition model which ramps up the retro style even more! This will arrive with rounded headlamps, as well as the choice of some limitededition twotone paint jobs.

While the exterior is keeping things retro, the interior has been notably modernised. It may keep things a bit boxy, but there’s a huge infotainment screen on the dash, a digital drivers display, as well as a large centre console that can even house a fridge.

There are a couple of engine choices available, although they won’t be released in all markets. When it comes to petrol, the entrylevel will be a 2.7litre 4cylinder with 163hp and 246Nm. There will also be a more powerful 2.4litre turbo petrol with 281hp and 430Nm, however, both of these won’t be available globally. The entrylevel diesel is a 2.8litre turbo diesel with 204hp and 500Nm, which is pretty similar to the engine from the outgoing Land Cruiser. You can also expect a mild hybrid and full hybrid selection to go on sale in the future.

We don’t know the price yet, but given the last Land Cruiser cost from at least £40,000, you can expect to be paying a bit more for this new model. But will it be worth it?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!
