Toyota Land Cruiser this car has a reputation for how popular it was, and this new generation of Land Cruiser Middle East Edition seems to be a bit oblivious. Recently we got a set of photos of Toyota's new generation land cruiser middle eastern version arriving at domestic ports in parallel import channels, and there is also news that the car will start selling in April and May this year. Coincidentally, Toyota also issued an incomprehensible official "apology letter", saying that the new car ordered in Japan from January 19, 2022, is expected to be delivered in four years. From the consumer's point of view, it seems that Toyota's new generation land cruiser, ordering cars now, can only pick up the car in four years. And its officials did not give any reason for the delivery time to be so long.
Why does Toyota Newland Cruiser, which starts at 1.15 million yuan, have the courage to plan the delivery time to four years later? For domestic consumers, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow, many netizens have said that whether it is Toyota's "routine" lays the foundation for the subsequent model to be officially sold. After all, there are many cases of shortening the pick-up time with a mark-up, in any case, Toyota's new Land Cruiser's "playing style" this time has lost some of the popularity of passers-by.
Of course, for this new car, there are still some consumers who want to understand its quality control, and we will also take a look at it.
This time, we will only look at the gasoline version of the model. The exterior part of the new car is more popular, and the domineering silhouette of the entire body is still there, showing a solid and thick visual effect. The front face part of the details have been subtracted, the front grille canceled part of the silver and chrome decoration, in fact, good or bad, it can be said that more atmospheric and informal, but some people will feel that the lack of a little sense of refinement, but the overall impact is not large. In addition, the new car will be available in black and white body colors, which is also a more conventional choice. The wheel hub we saw this time is still very atmospheric, 20-inch gun gray rim, tire specifications of 265/65 R20, D-pillar part also appeared "70th Anniversary Edition" 70th anniversary edition nameplate, the overall increase in recognition.
The interior part, like the exterior, is an atmospheric minimalist style. The color matching chooses a black and beige two-color combination, the central control part of the low-end model is with physical buttons, while the high-end model can be fully touch-operated. The interior space is indeed large enough, and its seat layout is more conventional, 2 + 3 + 2 type 7-seat layout, the third row of seats can be reclined, increasing the availability of space. It is worth mentioning that there is an electric tailgate equipped.
In terms of power, the new car has its own advantages, first of all, the body weight is 200 kg lighter than the old model, thanks to the new TNGA architecture F platform. In addition, we also learned that this model can provide two engines in the Middle East, namely 4.0-liter V6 engine and 3.5T V6 twin-turbo engine, and the matching drivetrain is 6-speed automatic transmission and 10-speed automatic transmission. What we are seeing now is the 3.5T V6 model, which has a maximum output of 415 horsepower and a peak torque of 650 Nm, and to be honest, this data can offset some of the dissatisfaction with the car.
In summary, the product strength of the new car is indeed worth it, but the way to pick up the car after four years does not dare to agree, I do not know whether there will be changes in the follow-up.
