When people reach middle age, have a little economic foundation, and have a little time to love to go out and play, then they must not be able to avoid Toyota's Land Cruiser.
Until now, everyone still likes to call it "Land Patrol", and the current generation of Land Patrol can be said to be the strongest in the past. The chassis was retuned, the vehicle was significantly reduced in weight, the 3.5T turbocharged engine was replaced, and the interior design was greatly replaced, and the shortcomings of the old model were almost all improved.
Japan sold 300,000 yuan and domestically sold 1.8 million
In August, the all-new Generation Land Cruiser was officially launched in Japan: the Land Cruiser 300 model. It starts at JPY 5.1 million, or about CNY 300,000, and offers GX, VX, and models at JPY 5.1 million and JPY6.3 million, which equates to approximately RMB300,000 and RMB370,000. There are also two 3.3T diesel models, also matched with 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive system, both 5-seater models. The GT Sport is priced at JPY 8 million equals approximately RMB 470,000 and the ZX is priced at JPY 7.6 million equals APPROXIMATELY RMB 450,000.
Priced in Japan
Near the end of the year, the new car has finally arrived at the domestic port, which also indicates that it will be sold in parallel imports, and the new car is currently going through the relevant procedures waiting for 3C certification, and the first owners can be the first car owners at the end of the year or early next year at the earliest.
New cars arrive at the port
However, the price of the new generation of land patrol is not as close as that of Japan, there are already parallel import car dealers to open a bicycle price of 1.6 million, followed by various taxes and fees, it is expected that the price of new cars will be 1.8 million or even exceed 2 million, which can be said to be the most expensive land cruise in history.
The strongest "Land Cruiser" in the family
Finally, let's talk about the new car. The new Land Cruiser is based on the TNGA-F platform and retains the non-load-bearing body design. Among the models in the series, the GR SPORT belongs to the sports version and the VX-R model belongs to the highest configuration. The Sport model replaced Toyota's horn logo with the English letters of TOYOTA, while the front and rear bumpers, side skirts, rims and exterior mirrors and window frames were painted bright black, adding to the sporty atmosphere.
In terms of changes, the LC300 changed the original rear "heaven and earth door" to an integrated trunk door. In the interior part of the upgrade is larger, a change from the dull feeling of many years. The LC300 has finally kept up with the times after adding a semi-LCD dashboard and a large 12.3-inch screen. In the newly designed interior layout and center console we see the shadow of Lexus, and the sense of refinement is greatly improved.
The new car is very rich in terms of configuration, and the top VX-R model has seat ventilation and heating, steering wheel heating, a full set of TSS driver assistance systems, wireless charging, mobile phone mapping, etc. There are also driving mode knobs, MTS (Multi Terrain Select Multi Terrain Selection) and steep slope mitigation and creep modes around the gear lever, as well as tank turning, central differential lock and electronic high and low speed four-wheel drive control.
The power section was repurposed, with the 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo, code-named V35A-FTS. Maximum power 415 hp, peak torque 650 Nm, matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission, the official data 0-100 km / h acceleration of 6.7 seconds. The diesel engine was updated to the F33A-FTV's 3.3-liter V6 turbo diesel engine with a maximum power of 306 hp and a peak torque of 700 Nm.
The body-in-white and girder parts of Toyota also uses lighter but stiffer materials, and after the vehicle's center of gravity and suspension layout are readjusted, the performance of the new car with a weight reduction of 200 kilograms on the paved road will be significantly improved.
Write at the end
Seeing this, you may be able to understand why models such as tank 300 and tank 500 can catch fire, because they bring an out-of-reach model to a place that the people can carry at will. When more people buy a car, they will start to think about hardcore off-road vehicles, even if not everyone has off-road needs.
