In this video, Doug DeMuro dives into his disappointment with the new Toyota Land Cruiser after spending a week with it. He doesn't hold back, expressing his frustration with various aspects of the vehicle. From the lackluster performance of the turbocharged Hybrid 4-cylinder engine to the interior that fails to exude a premium feel despite the hefty price tag, Doug makes it clear that the Land Cruiser falls short of his expectations. He points out that the exterior design may appeal to some, but the interior fails to deliver the same level of excitement and quality.
Doug draws comparisons between the new Land Cruiser and other Toyota models like the Lexus GX and the upcoming 4Runner, highlighting how the Land Cruiser pales in comparison in terms of features and pricing. He emphasizes that the Land Cruiser no longer holds the prestigious position it once did in Toyota's lineup, being outshone by models like the Sequoia. This shift in positioning leaves Doug feeling that the Land Cruiser is no longer the top dog it used to be, losing its appeal and uniqueness in the market.
Furthermore, Doug touches on the fact that the Land Cruiser may attract buyers seeking the name and reputation rather than the actual performance and features it offers. He reflects on his own history with Toyota trucks and his love for the brand, making it clear that his disappointment with the new Land Cruiser stems from a place of genuine affection for the Toyota lineup. Overall, Doug's critique of the new Land Cruiser sheds light on the changing landscape of Toyota's SUV offerings and how the once-revered model now struggles to stand out in a crowded market.
