With the arrival of the tide of new energy vehicles, traditional cars are being greatly impacted and challenged, and the first to bear the brunt of this is the traditional off-road vehicles and hardcore SUVs that people think are large and have high fuel consumption. Toyota's Land Cruiser (aka Land Cruiser, Land Cruiser) is one of them. The old models have not only stopped domestic production now, but also almost stopped importing in the past two years. However, this does not mean that Toyota will abandon this flagship off-road vehicle. Today, the new generation of Land Cruiser's real cars have officially debuted, and they are the first to be listed in the Middle East market. Let's take a sneak peek!
This new "Land Cruiser" bids farewell to the "pulling" style of the previous old models of "seam repair", and adopts a new tnga architecture to create, so the overall appearance has also undergone relatively large changes. But the most eye-catching thing is its new front face style. First of all, the size of the central network has been further increased, and there are three different front face designs according to different regions and different configurations. The main front face style has a wide and rugged chrome banner, the matrix led headlight group is deeply integrated with the front grille, and the top sides of the bonnet have high bumps, showing a strong sense of power.
In addition, the new Land Cruiser also has a more rugged gr sport version of the sports style design, the front face is directly penetrated by a large horizontal grille strip with Toyota English logo, with an all-black mid-net design, and surrounded by black plastic, the off-road style is more prominent.
The shape of the body side is also more square, and the lines are tougher, fuller and have a sense of strength. The addition of welcome pedals and electroplated rims also further enhances the Land Cruiser's sense of quality as a luxury SUV.
The shape of the tail is still "full of blocks", the prominent bumper, the large area of square lights, with the trailer hook, not only full of power, but also more convenient to tow the caravan.
The design of the interior is also a major focus of innovation. The new Land Patrol almost copied the style of lx570, the overall design is more modern, using the most fashionable central control suspension screen, the physical buttons compared to the old model are also reduced a lot, the human-computer interaction interface is more tidy, and the gear handle also adopts a wide but delicate new design, the multi-functional steering wheel has also been replaced by a new three-frame type, and the old atmosphere that the old car has been criticized for has finally been swept away.
In terms of power, the new Land Cruiser lost 200 kg of weight and eliminated the 4.6l naturally aspirated V8 engine and replaced it with a new 415 hp 3.5t twin-turbo V6 engine with a maximum torque of 650 Nm, which reduced emissions to a lower level while maintaining power output. Another 275 hp 4.0l naturally aspirated V6 engine was also retained, with a maximum torque of 385 Nm. Both engines are mated to a 10at transmission. In addition, the new car will also launch a 3.3t diesel engine model.
In terms of configuration, more new elements have been added, such as a new chassis display system, which can help drivers better get out of difficulties in complex road conditions. Another major configuration is the second-generation TSS active security system, with a hud head-up display with navigation and a wireless charging function for mobile phones, and the configuration function of the new Land Cruiser has also kept up with the boom of the times.
It can be seen that Toyota's emphasis on strengthening the urban driving attributes of the Land Cruiser, as well as its refined texture, is also an inevitable trend. In fact, the most of the current active stages for hard-core SUVs are no longer off-road fields, but highways, and the changes in the new Land Cruiser are also in line with the development trend of off-road vehicles.
At present, the starting price of this new Land Cruiser in the Middle East market is not high, only 229,900-35.49 million US dollars, equivalent to 40.4 - 623,100 yuan or so, of course, if the future can successfully enter the country through parallel imports, I am afraid that the price will be increased by at least 200,000 yuan or more. How much do you think the Land Patrol will sell for in the future? Everyone is welcome to actively express their views.
