Taking 2018 as an example, in 2018, Toyota Land Cruise sold a total of 318,000 vehicles worldwide, and China is the second largest market in the world, and only 28,500 vehicles were eaten, and the remaining 80% were bought by Middle Eastern consumers. Toyota Land Cruiser This car is still the world's largest market is still in the Middle East oil desert countries, even if the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser has evolved to be particularly handsome, less old rugged wild, more business sense, but the largest market for this car is still in the Middle East. The Land Cruiser is still dominated by tool cars in the Middle East, and is by no means similar to the Chinese market, which is regarded as a luxury car comparable to bmw x5.
But so far, the new Toyota Land Cruiser in the Middle East's main 3.5t twin-turbo version has not sold well at all in the 4.0l old naturally aspirated model. It is reasonable to say that the desert oil tycoon countries are not bad for money, buying a car around the world is to buy new and not buy old, the original is still related to Toyota's strategy of building cars for more than 30 years.
Toyota and its Lexus have always preached that their craftsmanship is very strong, durability is excellent, the failure rate is very low, in fact, Toyota has not been mass-producing 2.0t turbocharged engine until 2013, in contrast, German car companies as early as the 00s began to sell 2.0t this golden displacement turbine engine, Volkswagen ea888 BMW b48 Mercedes-Benz M274 are typical, only the Japanese Toyota delayed listing 2.0t engine, this is because Toyota's durable secret is to adhere to the use of natural suction of the old technology, even the multi-cylinder number of naturally aspirated v6, v8 engine is also limited power torque, only play insufficient power.
Honda can achieve 131 horsepower of the 1.5l in-line four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine on the Fit without using a turbocharger, which has a strong reputation and a low failure rate. Toyota 2.0l Camry power performance is not as good as honda fit 1.5l, Toyota Prado 2700 2.7l large-displacement naturally aspirated model, surprisingly only 163 horsepower, the new generation of Land Cruiser version 4.0l self-priming only 275 horsepower, 385 Nm, so the natural failure rate is very low, reputation improved.
The oil tycoon countries in the Middle East are the least short of oil, and Saudi Arabia has the lowest gasoline level in the world, and they are most afraid of breaking into the desert and drowning in the wind and sand with their cars. Coincidentally, the 3.5t twin-turbo new Land Cruiser, the use of electronic system components is increasing, the engine has two more turbochargers, the failure rate is significantly higher than the 4.0l old engine version, and moreover, the new technology naturally has not withstood the actual harsh car complex road conditions test, but the 4.0l old v6 engine, the Middle East users are familiar with it, and the big classic engine is recognized.
The new Model of the Land Cruiser is actually subdivided into two mechanical versions, equipped with 4.0l old engines, no extra electronic devices, pure mechanical structure models are the Middle East Desert Gobi driving artifacts, acceleration is dense, power is enough, what? Worried about the excessive fuel consumption of old technology? Wake up, this is the Middle East where gasoline is several times cheaper than water!
Originally Toyota lc200 has been driving in the desert Gobi enough crotch, not as good as lc76 and lc78, the new top with lc300 equipped with a twin-turbo 3.5t engine, it is certainly difficult to withstand high pressure and dryness, and the degree of resistance is much lower than that of the 4.0l version.
Middle Easterners prefer to buy cheaper and more reliable Land Cruisers with older 4.0l six-cylinder engines, and at the same time have a strong correlation with the price, a car starting at 400,000 yuan, even in developed countries is a huge expense for ordinary consumers, second only to real estate.
Therefore, the Toyota Land Cruiser 3.5t version really does not have 4.0l old sales outstanding, Consumers of the Middle East oil countries, for the Land Cruiser tool car, are more inclined to buy the old and not buy the new, they hate the turbine, more love natural inhalation!
