This is a reliable and overbuilt go anywhere vehicle with just enough features to remain reliable and comfortable. The only possible overlap with Range Rover and other so called luxury SUVs is the price...this is where they part ways Where the others compete for luxury, this legacy SUV fills its own niche with attraction that only a Land Cruiser lover can appreciate. I grew up with an FJ40 and FJ62 and now drive this LC200 and love the legacy and appreciate the fact that this could be my last V8 SUV and may even outlast me. My 20 something son has suggested this could be part of his inheritance. That alone is worth the price to play!

Just got brand new land cruiser Sahara 2020 for aud 159990 . Literally searched everywhere as limited stock here in Aus as no more V8 production. Paid a lot of money but hopefully I will be happy in the future. Wished I had bought few months ago🙁

Awesome car, been tip of Cape York crossing all river on OTT, as well as Vic high country tracks, didnt miss a beat once and extremely capable

The people who designed the appearance of this beauty, did it a great justice. It's so beautiful 😍 and at the same time dominant on the road.

Enjoyed the review Crafty. Important question, I bet you can do a ripper Bill ‘Got ‘im!!’ Lawry impression - maybe on the next podcast you join in?

Have they sorted the 6 speed auto and lockup?

What a good review thanks

Does it even have android/apple integration yet? As he said, it is a very old design and very dated. I've done a lot of 4wding and touring in my GU/GQ patrols. The 200 is more comfortable but gosh that difference in price is hard to stomach. The V6 TD might be worth a look if it addresses issues like the low slung alternator (fails when full of mud) and horrific maintenance costs over time.

Really gotta wear out the wiper blades when its barely sprinkling rain?

Great car.. ordinary review

Nothing like my old 100series turbo diesel

I own the LC200 2013 LUX+ / full spec. Well I would not buy a new one for sure since in EU it costs 100k EUR. That said, I gladly paid half for a used one. Its not as luxurious as other brands but that is hardly the point here. I also own Prado and Hilux (from new) and those are very different vehicles. I'd say that Prado is the best car for EU of tho whole lot. Also price for the new is somewhat justifiable. And the reason I own mostly Yotas ? I am no fool in terms of "something being indestructible". But there is this thing that it will never leave you on the side of the road. Modern cars leave you with nothing but a phone number to call a assistance. Yotas always allow you to limp to the shop :-). That said, I did not have to change a lightbulb on either of the three yet (since I maintain them meticulously).

LC200 brand in Kenya is $190,000, Prada 2020 goes for $160,000 and Hilux 3.0CC 2017 cost $66,000, Hilux 2.8CC 2019=$700,000 and incoming Hilux 2021 to be around $800,000 to $900,000. Too expensive in third world countries. Where do third world countries get all that money? I own Hilux 3.0CC 2017 make and it’s very good, 3Yrs at 38,000KM in mileage

buy a used one like from 2011 same thing . In asia ppl facelift them

Definitely agree with the over priced tag. For that kind of money you would expect the interior of a Rang Rover. Would buy if money wasn’t a issue but for the average Joe, I would just stick to the GXL.

There are some features , like all manufacturers that Toyota bundle with the upmarket badge that I don’t want, but some that are really important to me. The Sahara is overkill but if I was in the market for a 200 series, I would get the Sahara but with some apprehension.

Thank-you for the honest review and the honest test. I really do think that it is over priced, especially considering the off-road capabilities. It comes in at US$155,000 in my market and I am buying from Zimbabwe and I honestly do not see enough to justify paying and extra US$75,000 on this car. I believe that there are cars that will offer me the off roading capabilities I need without the premium price tag.

@@SugmaDick a Ford Ecosport is also a 4wd car and most definitely not comparable to the Land Cruiser. The difference between cars and trucks are essentially the frame its built on. Unibody cars are light, use less steel, focus on fuel economy and handle better. Truck chassis on the other hand are body on frame meaning better heavy duty applications, vibration, torque and payload. A Land Cruiser is body in frame, made to carry weight, get out of sticky situations and with independent wishbone suspension it is made to go over rough terrain and therefore most definitely a truck. I see where you are coming from though. Here in North America the term SUV didn't apply until the lines between cars and trucks got ambiguously blurred giving birth to the useless thing that is the CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle) If I was talking about a truck in your sense then yes I would refer to a pickup truck.

$125k and no apple play. Why?

I own a 2008 diesel VX. Same as the Sahara with leather seats but without a few bells and whistles, no fridge, different suspension and less buttons that you don’t use anyway. Engine blew up at 175,000. Ouch. I’ve now fitted an after market air filter and 2 additional fuel filters (yes all fuel is triple filtered now) and a water trap. Car cost me $55,000, got the gst back, spent $18,000 on the reco engine changeover. It’s now at 350,000 and I reckon somebody would still give me $40,000ish for it. So even with the new engine I’ve only lost maybe $25,000 which is pretty amazing over 6 years and 200,000kms. They are overpriced. The interior was outdated in 2008. Mechanically its been great and I suspect it was dodgy fuel in rural Vic that cooked the engine. It tows anything and has taken a generation of Victoria’s junior basketballers all over the state. All that said we just purchased a 3year old Touareg which tows things better and is SO much better to drive than the cruiser. Time will tell what the maintenance bill is and resale will be horrible.

If i had the money i would buy the 200 and the 70 series single cab and not have to worry about buying another car/truck for the next 10years. I dnt really care about the creature comfort stuff like heated\cooled seats....android auto or apple car play etc i just want something thats not gonna fall after 50k kilometers.
