I’m a little underwhelmed by it. Overall, it just seems a bit….bland. I’m sure it’ll grow on me, however, as all Land Cruisers have. Tri-beam headlights are definitely my preference. An ARB front bumper would look good on this. I do like the interior, especially that brown color and round vents, better than the GX. Exterior of the GX definitely looks waaayy better.
1958 version is super basic. Manual seats, heated cloth seats, smaller screen….tough sale at 55k. 😏
My guess that it would have a V35 was wrong. It will be interesting to see what the 6th gen 4Runner has to offer, because from a drivetrain/capability standpoint, the Land Cruiser doesn’t seem to offer anything more than a 4Runner would. From what I’m seeing so far, I don’t know that it’s worth the 10-15k premium over a 4Runner.
The new silver color is really nice.
Interesting to see the 2.8 diesel as the sole option in Europe. Europe seems to be moving to hybrids instead of diesels, so I would’ve expected the turbo 4 hybrid to be an option.
One of the YouTubers I follow mentioned it has manual seats on the lower trim model. Interesting if true. It looks like two-row models have three-zone climate controls, which the GX does not have. The Land Cruiser also had memory seats, and I seem to recall someone saying not all GX models have that. So, the LC may have some combo of features not on the GX.
LC is getting a lot of flak on social media for only offering a turbo 4 hybrid. Probably not the sort of response Toyota was hoping for, but I think some of it is justified.
