Silhouette in sight
Toyota will soon pull the curtain on a completely new Land Cruiser, a car that has been on the Dutch market unchanged since 2009. Before that happens, Toyota is already shining a brief (counter) light on its successor. And guess what? The car seems to be just as chunky as the new Lexus GX.
Just a little while before Toyota unveils its new Land Cruiser, which is referred to as Land Cruiser Prado in overseas markets and is a size smaller than the already updated full size Land Cruiser. An official reveal date is not yet known, but the image that has now been released, we can already see quite a lot. This shows that the upcoming Land Cruiser will have an appearance that can be compared to that of the brand new Lexus GX.
That is a chunky and oversized off-roader that is enthroned on a completely new ladder chassis and, thanks to a double-blown 3.5-liter V6, can pull a maximum of 3,500 kg. Yes, the next Toyota Land Cruiser is again very suitable for the average market trader – provided it is fitted with the same powertrain. We expect so, but a hybrid alternative or otherwise tuned powertrain for the European market – in any case with considerable towing capacities – may also be possible.
We will undoubtedly do it soon, because the reveal can’t be far away. stay tuned, said Toyota.
The basic shape of the new Land Cruiser will match that of the Lexus GX pictured here.
