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 current model codenamed LC200 was released in 2007, the model positioning takes into account the hardcore attributes and luxury orientation, the product cycle has been 14 years, during which a mid-term redesign was carried out.

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 its domestic price may reach millions in the future.
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 the future, whether the car can smoothly enter the Chinese market, the report of the car emperor will continue to pay attention. (Photo/Video Credit: Takahiko Will)
