Toyota Land Cruiser 300 – Engine Details Emerge
Toyota Land Cruiser 300 – Engine Details Emerge-April 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:29

The new Land Cruiser 300 will be revealed very soon. Here's what we know so farabout the iconic vehicle from Toyota.

The current Land Cruiser 200 has been in production since the mid-2000s and by vehicle production lifespans, that's ancient. Toyota has been hard at work on the replacement model and the new model is due to be revealed in the coming days/weeks. More so, the new Land Cruiser 300 is expected to go on sale in June 2021, provided that that Covid-19 doesn't cause any further delays…

Based on previously leaked images,the new look is bold and in your face. Given the recent grille obsession across the motoring landscape, this is bound to cause some controversy. Expect an even bigger grille for the Lexus-badged LX derivative.

While its rivals have mostly transitioned to a monocoque configuration the Land Cruiser 200 remained a ladder frame. Its huge4.5-litre V8 turbodiesel enginemight never have been the most powerful in its class, but itsreputation for durabilityunder all conditions, and using all fuel grades, has been tremendous.A previousreportsuggestedthat the new incoming Land Cruiser 300 will drop its V8 engine in favour of a 225 kW / 700 Nm 3.3-litre V6 diesel engine as well as a twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine with at least 305 kW and 650 Nm.This has now all but been confirmed thanks to yet another leakand the new pair of V6 engines represent a decent increase in outputs compared against the outgoing V8 engines. A hybrid Land Cruiser is also on the cards as is a GR-badged sportier model.

There was an interior leak too, which show the central console. We can see the gearbox as well as the various buttons for offroading activities. We can also see the JBL logo, indicating the new Toyota Land Cruiser will feature hardware from the high-end audio maker.

As Toyotawinds-down Land Cruiser 200 production, with a scheduled last unit assembly date diarised for March 2021,demand for these Toyota luxury adventure vehicles is soaring. In some markets, orders for Land Cruiser have increased by more than 20%.

We will keep you updated as soon as official details are revealed.
