With the release of the new generation of Toyota Land Cruiser, commonly known as the "Land Cruiser", the upgrade of this hardcore SUV has become the latest plan for many off-road players. In a set of new car renderings drawn by foreign media, a new Land Cruiser modified version of the model was exposed. The new car is equipped with all-terrain tires, wading hoses, winchs and other equipment, perhaps this car is what many people think of as a "land patrol".
New car features:
The ground clearance of the new car has been significantly increased and is complemented by black rims and all-terrain tires
Although Toyota has launched a more off-road GR SPORT version based on the new generation of Land Cruiser, the modified version in this rendering is actually based on the ordinary version of the new Land Cruiser 70th Anniversary Edition, so the front grille of the new car does not appear relatively retro "TOYOTA" letter design. Of course, compared to the regular model, the ground clearance of the new car is significantly improved, and it is combined with black rims and all-terrain tires.
Both the appearance and the performance are obviously the high-level intake system of the A-pillar part of the car
In order to obtain a greater approach and departure angle, the new Land Cruiser modified version in the renderings is equipped with a new shape of the front bumper, in which the car also has a front winch and front LED bar lights integrated in the front bumper, and the rear bumper is equipped with two red trailer hooks. What is both an appearance improvement and a performance improvement is obviously the high-level air intake system of the A-pillar part of the car.

Intergenerational Relationship/New Car Background:
Land Cruiser's past models
LC80
LC100
LC200
As a classic series of Toyota, the Land Cruiser Land Cruiser is commonly known in China as a Land Cruiser or Land Cruiser. The predecessor of the Land Cruiser, the Toyota FJ, was born in 1951, and 2021 is also the 70th anniversary of the series. After many generations of model development, the Land Cruiser series has spawned a number of branches and sub-models. Among them, the model codenamed LC200 was released in 2007, the model positioning took into account the hardcore attributes and luxury orientation, and the product cycle has been 14 years, during which a mid-term redesign was carried out. As a replacement model, the new generation of Land cruise code name LC300, in addition to the ordinary version of the model, the new generation of Land Cruiser also added "GR SPORT" sport version.
competitor:
Nissan Touring
As a hardcore SUV, the old Land Cruiser (LC200) has been suspended in the domestic official channel. From a competitive point of view, despite its hardcore SUV attributes, land cruisers also focus on luxury creation, so its competitors include Nissan Tourer, Land Rover Discovery/Defender and other models.
Market Environment:
From the perspective of price, FAW Toyota's domestic 2016 Land Cruiser provides two kinds of power, 4.0-liter V6 and 4.6-liter V8, and the market guidance price is 771,000-1,194,000 yuan. At present, the new generation of Land Cruiser has canceled the V8 power, but with more luxurious interiors, richer configurations and more high-end product settings, it is bold to guess that if the car can be introduced into The country in the future, its domestic price may reach one million.
After the complete cancellation of the V8 power, in addition to the regrets of the riders on the emotional level, compared with the new generation of twin-turbo V6 engines with higher efficiency and stronger power, the V8 naturally aspirated power does not seem to have much to linger on. In any case, Land Cruiser is in the eyes of many people as the "golden signboard" in Toyota's product matrix, and the future new car will undoubtedly continue to be "net red". In addition, whether the car can smoothly enter the Chinese market, the report of the car emperor will remain concerned.
