The Land Cruiser is back in the US after a 2-year break, and it's as tough as ever. Known for its off-road prowess and cool factor, the Land Cruiser has evolved over the years, becoming more packed with premium features. The latest model retains its impressive technology and performance while sporting a fresh new look that turns heads. With the introduction of the I force Max Hybrid Powertrain, this beast churns out 326 horsepower and 465 LB-FT of torque, promising instant bursts of power when you need them. The Land Cruiser 1958 model pays homage to its heritage with retro touches like round LED headlights and heated fabric seats, blending the old with the new seamlessly.
Inside, the Land Cruiser is anything but basic, featuring modern amenities like a smart key system, blind spot monitor, and a full-color multi-information display. The Land Cruiser grade takes it up a notch with rectangular LED headlamps, power heated and ventilated seats, and a top-notch 10 speaker sound system. But it's not just about luxury; this beast is built for the wild with full-time four-wheel drive, locking differentials, and a front stabilizer bar disconnect for increased suspension flex. The Land Cruiser's approach, breakover, and departure angles are impressive, ensuring it can tackle any terrain with ease.
Behind the wheel, the Land Cruiser exudes sophistication and refinement, making off-roading a breeze. The I force Max hybrid system provides that extra oomph, delivering power when you need it most. With features like multi-terrain select and downhill assist control, the Land Cruiser offers a smooth and capable ride both on and off the road. Despite its hefty price tag starting at $73,350, the Land Cruiser is set to hit the streets in Spring 2024, ready to conquer any adventure that comes its way.
