Toyota GR Land Cruiser REVIEW!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is the new Toyota Land Cruiser GR Sport!
It’s an absolutely colossal 7-seater, and is the first brand-new Land Cruiser to be released in 16 years! So has it been worth the wait?
Well when it comes to the design, it’s unmistakably a Land Cruiser, with its wide body and huge grille up front. This GR Sport edition also comes with a few upgrades over the standard edition, with sporty front & rear bumpers coupled with unique alloys and GR badging both outside and in.
Step inside, and the interior is very ‘Toyota’. It’s nothing outlandish, not ugly - it’s all pretty safe. You get a number of physical buttons across the dash, and you’ll find good-quality materials throughout most of the cabin. The build quality is exceptional, and it comes with a touchscreen infotainment screen on the dash. Unfortunately, though, the system isn’t all that good. But thankfully you get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.
Only three engines are available, with the range-topper being a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 that produces 415hp.
The Land Cruiser range starts from just over £52,000, rising all the way up to around £89,000 for this GR Sport edition. But there’s one big catch… We’re not getting it in the UK! The question is, if it were on sale here, would you choose it? Or would you pick a different 7-seater? Let us know in the COMMENTS!

    The fuel cap is for security. Landcruisers are actually used by owners the correct way, which includes travelling around the world and in remote places where fuel theft happens a lot when you leave your vehicle parked somewhere. The gap in the back seats helps in the circulation of air when in hot climes, from Australia to Africa. Everything is well thought out and there for a reason, not all cosmetic. This isn’t a Range Rover which has lost its touch. They say, “The car infront is always a Toyota”, for a reason. 👍

I currently own a 200 series and in twenty or so years when I've worn it out, I might buy a 300 series. But I'll go for the VX and the first thing I'll do is remove those two rear seats altogether.

    In australia these are hugely popular. there is a wait time of like 3 years between when you order one and when you get it. however they are only available in the diesel v6 option, to get the 3.5 twin turbo v6 petrol you have to upgrade to the lexus lx600 which is based on the same platform. i have to say, having driven both the diesel land cruiser and the petrol lexus, petrol is the way to go if you dont mind the extra fuel consumption

Back in the day I remember my old man would sometimes get out of the car when it was being filled up to check if the fuel attendants had 'remembered' to return the fuel gas cover after it went missing. Some would forget, not sure if it was to resell it to mechanics or just out of absent mindedness.

    @@kristians2704 If it's still happily chucking along 12 years from now (or close tot double that like my GS 430) and have not been written off 3 times over I'm perfectly fine with that. People tent to look only at what's right in front of them and not at the long term. Toyota is one of the few brands that still builds cars with that long term in mind. A new Landy 110 writes off up to 50% of it's retail value in it's first 2 month of ownership. Given that the fancier models are almost twice the price of this GR LC you've just throw out one of them over wanting to look good at your next board meeting. Everything in the premium car market revolves around short term luxury looks or feels, not durability. Just the Toyota badge alone will turn several people (including the reviewer here) off of the car. If they had stuck a Lexus badge on it (like they did with the older 62 series) this would have been a totally different review.

    Toyota's tank uses a lever-type fuel filler port. The lever-type refueling port is a method of unlocking the refueling port with a wire from the driver's seat, and is said to be highly reliable. In recent cars, the number of fuel filler openings that can be opened with one touch in conjunction with the door lock is increasing, and this is thought to be due to improvements in design and convenience. However, the lever-type fuel filler port also has its merits. For example, even if the door lock breaks down, it can be refueled, and it can be used to prevent theft.
