All
over the world, the Land Cruiser has supported lives, livelihoods, and more
fulfilling lifestyles, and promised to take people anywhere and everywhere, and
come back alive and safe. Now, the Land Cruiser's essence of "reliability,
durability, and off-road performance" has further evolved, based on the
actual usage situations of its global customers.
The
All-New Land Cruiser 300 has raised the bar again. Packing more power and more
capability, and boasting enhanced luxury and technology.
The
engines, transmission and platform are all brand-new and engineered to deliver
a leap forward in performance both on-road and in the toughest off-road
environments. Innovations and improvements – including world-first technologies
– have been delivered without compromising any aspect of Land Cruiser’s
ability, targeting performance that people can trust to carry them safely and
securely, on and off-road.
Toyota
has made first use of a new TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform, the
first to be designed for a body-on-frame vehicle. The GA-F platform preserves
exceptional off-road capability while bringing new benefits in terms of body
rigidity, strength and dynamic balance and helping deliver improved on-road
performance as well. It provides the basis for introducing new technologies,
reducing weight, lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity, improving safety and
enabling new designs for the exterior and interior.
The
frame itself was redesigned to save weight and improve its rigidity; overall
the new Land Cruiser is 200 kg lighter than its predecessor. Focus areas
included tuning suspension performance to achieve optimum wheel articulation,
keeping the Tyres in contact with the ground on rough terrain, and improving
road-holding with a world-first Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System
(E-KDSS). The new Land Cruiser 300 is also the first Toyota to adopt
a Multi-Terrain Monitor, which gives the driver a real-time view of the road
surface beneath and immediately surrounding the vehicle and the position of the
wheels. The Multi-Terrain Select system automatically judges the quality of the
driving surface and adopts the most appropriate driving mode.
The
advances in driving dynamics and handling are supported by new V6 twin-turbo
engines – 3.5-litre petrol and 3.3-litre diesel – engineered for
class-leading performance and drivability superior to a conventional V8. Both
are available with a new 10-speed automatic transmission, a unit that
contributes to a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of around 10%
compared to the current generation model.
The advances in engineering are matched by a new design that is faithful to the model’s heritage and status, while expressing a new concept of “functional beauty.” The Land Cruiser’s powerful, clean lines communicate the SUV’s great strength, together with greater sophistication and maturity. Inside, the cabin projects a higher level of sensory appeal in a space where the driver and passenger can feel comfortable and safe, regardless of how tough the driving environment is.
