The Land Cruiser is a medium-sized SUV owned by Toyota, commonly known as the "Land Patrol" in China. The Land Cruiser is a legendary model of off-road vehicles, loved by fans around the world since its launch in 1951, with 10.4 million units sold in 170 countries and territories around the world, with annual sales of more than 300,000 units.
In August last year, the new generation of Land Cruiser was released in overseas markets such as Japan, and at that time, there was news that the number of orders had exceeded 20,000 units, far exceeding Toyota's expectations, and the news that the Waiting Cycle of land patrols would be very long.
Now Toyota officially confirmed this statement, saying that users who order the new Land Cruise after January 19, 2022, will wait about 4 years for delivery. It's the longest delivery time in history!
There is also a reason for the popularity of the new generation of land patrols, and the power and off-road capabilities of the land patrols have been improved.
The new car is based on the TNGA GA-F platform, continuing the non-load-bearing body design, the weight of the car is reduced by 200 kg, the center of gravity is reduced, the front and rear counterweights and suspension structure are also improved, so that the driving performance of the new car is improved.
Powered by a 3.4T V6 twin-turbo petrol engine, it has a maximum power of 415 hp and a peak torque of 650 Nm. The diesel version is powered by a 3.3T V6 twin-turbo engine with a maximum power of 306 hp and a peak torque of 700 Nm.
The drivetrain is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, the drive system is full-time 4WD, and it is equipped with a differential lock between the front and rear axles. The new car is also equipped with a terrain selection system, which can implement many functions such as tank U-turn, creep mode and so on.
In terms of product strength, the performance of the new generation of land patrol is very outstanding, so it has been greatly welcomed, resulting in a serious backlog of orders, coupled with the shortage of parts and components caused by the epidemic, production capacity is seriously insufficient, and now want to buy a land patrol can be said to be a long way off.
For the domestic market, there is news that the new generation of Land Patrol will be sold in the form of parallel imports in China, but the supply is very scarce, which may lead to a huge increase in sales, so that many fans sigh: it is better to buy a second-hand car!
In fact, in the second-hand car market, the land patrol has always had a high degree of heat, due to its strong strength and super high retention rate, the second-hand land patrol is also very sought-after.
There was even a 27-year-old, 1,000-mile "vintage" Land Cruiser that fetched a high price of $136,000 (about 876,400 yuan) at auction.
Judging from the source information of the car 300 used car, the second-hand land patrol can also sell 600,000 or 700,000 yuan, which really proves the status of the land patrol in the automobile circle as a "wealth management product".
