New Toyota Land Cruiser: See why it’s better than ever before!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Meet the all-new 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 off-roading 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 G-Class. 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 limited-edition two-tone 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 entry-level will be a 2.7-litre 4-cylinder with 163hp and 246Nm. There will also be a more powerful 2.4-litre turbo petrol with 281hp and 430Nm, however, both of these won’t be available globally. The entry-level diesel is a 2.8-litre 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!

I prefer this look to the bigger 300. I really do
Toyota well known for durability & reliability & now for design 👏🏻👏🏻 they will be # one for quite long
I love it. I drive a 2006 LC3 which I still think looks awesome and I haven’t upgraded it because until now there was nothing out there I preferred. And I’m including the more recent shape in that because I think they spoiled it; with the larger body and flush arches the wheels look kind of “tucked in” like a bus, and the smaller grille adds to the nondescript image. A 4x4 needs to look bold and rugged for me, and the earlier LC3 ticked that box with the sculpted wide arches and aggressive grille layout. This new J250 definitely fits that bill. Whatever the new price will be, it will be a good investment because these trucks not only go forever (I’m on 300k miles and going strong) they also have a timeless look, especially this new one. So depending on what our Eco-obsessed government decides to do, and depending on whether the hybrid version will be available, this could be the last vehicle you need to buy for a very, very long time.
Love the design
This looks unique and amazing 🤩
Matt, you forgot to mention the 10 year warranty that Toyota are currently offering if you let them do the servicing 😉
This looks incredible, particularly with the round LEDs on the headlights
This is going to be such a hit everything a 4x4 should be
