August 2, Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) announced the launch of its new Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser, a four-wheel-drive vehicle with a strong engine, was first introduced in August 1951 under the name "Toyota BJ." Since then, it has worked to provide safety and security to a wide range of consumers and other people that interact with the car.
The Land Cruiser has supported lives, livelihoods, and more meaningful lifestyles all across the world and has kept its promise to drive passengers wherever and ensure that they return home safely and unharmed.
Based on the actual usage scenarios of its global consumers, the Land Cruiser's core attributes of "reliability, durability, and off-road performance" have now undergone additional evolution. Customers in 170 countries and regions across the world are adoring a cumulative total of around 10.6 million units—and more than 300,000 units*1 a year.
The outgoing 200 Series, which debuted in 2007, has been completely redesigned into the new Land Cruiser 300 Series. The following lists its development goals.
Toyota kept the same frame structure and paired it with the new GA-F platform, which is based on the TNGA tenets, with these goals in mind. The identity of the vehicle has also been altered through the fusion of modern technology with legacy technology gathered over many years.
The conventional ladder structure is redesigned for the new Land Cruiser. The high-rigidity, lightweight frame, which is 20% more rigid than the 200 Series thanks to the latest welding techniques, boasts enhanced collision safety performance, quietness, and ride comfort.
The power train has been shifted 70 mm in back and 28 mm downward, and the body is made up of more high-tensile steel plates, an aluminium bonnet, roof, and door panels.
Due to these advancements, the body weight has been reduced by about 200 kg, resulting in a lower centre of gravity and better front-to-rear weight distribution. The new Land Cruiser offers a ride that is more in line with the driver's aims along with an improved driving position. The body's less weight helps the Land Cruiser's performance.
The new Land Cruiser has a freshly created high-mount double-wishbone front and trailing-link rigid-axle rear suspension system in keeping with its redesigned platform. For enhanced ride comfort and steering stability, the location of the rear shock absorbers has been modified.
By moving the suspension arms, it has been possible to improve both wheel articulation—the vehicle's capacity to stay on the ground—and body posture stability even when braking. Superior off-road performance has resulted from these.
In order to increase steering stability and ride comfort, the vehicle features a new Linear Solenoid Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system, which independently regulates the damping force of each wheel's shock absorbers in reaction to road conditions and driver input. (Standard equipment for the ZX and GR Sport grades)
The new Land Cruiser combines an electric steering actuator with a hydraulic power steering system that can operate in challenging conditions. This provides excellent agility at low speeds, less kickback while driving off-road, and a crisper steering feel. It also makes it possible to incorporate steering support features like Lane Tracing Assist. (Standard equipment for the ZX, GR Sport, and VX grades)
The new Land Cruiser has an electronic control brake system that monitors input from the brake pedal to produce the ideal amount of braking force through its hydraulic brakes and achieve more linear stopping. (Standard equipment for the ZX, GR Sport, and VX grades)
A newly generated 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo gasoline engine with a maximum output of 305 kW (415 PS) and a maximum torque of 650 Nm is available for the new Land Cruiser. It combines the Land Cruiser's legendary dependability with the TNGA philosophy. With a multi-hole direct injector, a longer stroke, and better valve angle location for high-speed combustion, the direct-injection 4-stroke gasoline engine superior version with turbo (D-4ST) produces tremendous torque at low speeds and has excellent supercharger responsiveness.
The new 300 Series' design is geared toward providing off-road performance. The cabin is positioned rearward on the body, much like earlier generations of station wagon-style Land Cruisers; the radiator grille and headlights are high up; and the lower portions of the front and rear bumpers are shaped to avoid obstacles.
Additionally, the engine hood's inclusion of a significant dip enhances front sight and collision safety performance. Precious White Pearl, a fresh outside shade, is moreover accessible. (Available on the ZX and GR Sport grades as a manufacturer's option)
Both the front and second row of seats feature comfortable heated seats and seat ventilation. (On the ZX and GR Sport grades; on the VX grade, only the front seats)
The driver's seat, the front passenger's seat, and the back seats can all access the roomy and useful Center Console Box thanks to its two-sided opening structure. The interior also has a cool box for cooling PET drink bottles as well as other foods and beverages. With the exception of the GX grade, available as a manufacturer's option.
All grades come standard with nanoeTM *4 X, which is released via the driver's side air outlet on the instrument panel and generates a comfortable internal air environment.
On all grades with the exception of the GX grade, a high-resolution 12.3-inch widescreen touch display is an available manufacturer's option. Data on off-road performance, audio, air conditioning, and navigation can all be easily understood on the display.
The car can simply remember up to three individual driver choices for the driving position, the interior, and the display, allowing numerous drivers to choose their preferred settings.
With the use of a Smart Key and the vehicle's Hands-Free Back Door, drivers may easily open and lock the back door by merely placing their feet beneath the rear bumper. (Standard ZX grade equipment; manufacturer's choice available for VX grade)
The newest Toyota Safety Sense active safety package with more sophisticated features has been installed in the new Land Cruiser. The pre-collision system, which assists in preventing collisions or minimising damage by identifying pedestrians (during the day and at night) and cyclists, now has two additional features (daytime). The first is a feature that alerts the driver to approaching traffic at crossings and approaching pedestrians crossing the street while the car is turning. The second is an emergency steering assist feature that helps with lane maintaining and steering when the driver makes a steering motion to avoid a collision.
Customers all across the world have loved the Land Cruiser for 70 years since its introduction, and they have also helped the model survive under challenging conditions. On August 1, 2021, precisely 70 years after its debut, Toyota hosted an online event called "70th LAND CRUISER DAY" as a way of expressing its gratitude.
