Toyota Land Cruiser has undergone a full model change.
The Toyota Land Cruiser was born in 1951 and has sold a total of approximately 10.4 million units in 170 countries and regions around the world. In 2021, it will celebrate its 70th anniversary and is the longest-established car in Japan.The new Land Cruiser "300" series, which has undergone a full model change this time, will be the successor to the "200" series that appeared in 2007.
One of the major changes in the Land Cruiser's full model change is the adoption of the "new GA-F platform" based on TNGA. By newly designing the frame itself, we have achieved a weight reduction of 200 kg and high rigidity. In addition, the center of gravity has been lowered, weight distribution, and suspension structure have been improved.
In the exterior of the Land Cruiser, while inheriting the characteristics of the Land Cruiser so far, the radiator grille is placed at a high position together with the headlamps, and the lower part of the front and rear bumpers is also shaped to eliminate obstacles, etc. It is a design that emphasizes.
In addition, all light sources are LED, and the clearance lamp and daytime running lamp are seamlessly connected from the grill and emit light in an L shape. The characteristic light expresses the powerful eyes of a full-scale offloader. In addition, the sequential turn lamps of some grades light up so that they flow from the inside to the outside of the vehicle when turning left or right, creating an advanced impression.LEDs are also used for the rear combination lamps, and the large, neat horizontal design expresses strength and functional beauty.
In the interior of the Land Cruiser, while pursuing comfort, a horizontal instrument panel that makes it easy to grasp the posture of the car even on rough roads is adopted, and switches that can be operated intuitively are laid out for each function. The design takes into consideration operability such as shape and color.In addition, the cockpit uses an Optitron meter that is easy to see day and night, allowing intuitive visibility of speed, engine rotation, fuel, water temperature, oil pressure, and voltage so that the vehicle status can be easily grasped.
In addition, a high-definition TFT color LCD screen is placed in the center of the meter, and of course information necessary for off-road driving, such as the driving status of multi-terrain select, is displayed. Various vehicle information such as fuel consumption and cruising range can be displayed.In addition, the optional 12.3-inch wide touch display in the center of the instrument panel displays not only navigation, audio, and air conditioning displays, but also off-road functions in a visually easy-to-understand manner.The seats are equipped with thermal seats and seat ventilation on the front and second seats.
Furthermore, for the third seat, we have adopted a floor storage third seat (electric) that allows the seat to be electrically retracted and returned by simply pressing a switch.In addition, a hands-free back door that automatically opens and closes the back door just by putting your foot in and out under the rear bumper is also adopted.
Two types of engines for the new Land Cruiser are available: the newly developed 3.3L V6 twin-turbo diesel engine and the 3.5L V6 twin-turbo gasoline engine. By adopting a new power train, we are aiming to achieve class-leading power performance and drivability that surpasses that of conventional V8 engines.In addition, the newly developed Direct Shift-10AT (10-speed automatic transmission) is used for the transmission to create a comfortable ride that responds quickly to the driver's accelerator operation.
The safety performance of the new Land Cruiser is also evolving.Adopted Toyota's first fingerprint authentication start switch. If you carry the smart key and touch the fingerprint sensor on the start switch while stepping on the brake, it will be collated with the fingerprint information registered in the vehicle. The mechanism is such that the engine will not start unless the fingerprint information matches.
In addition, the latest preventive safety package "Toyota Safety Sense" is adopted for the safety function. Pre-crash safety that detects pedestrians (day and night) and cyclists (day) and contributes to collision avoidance and damage reduction, crossing pedestrian detection function that comes from the front when an oncoming straight vehicle or a right or left turn at an intersection, avoidance by the driver Added an emergency steering avoidance support function that supports steering and lane deviation suppression triggered by steering. In addition, we have newly adopted a parking support brake that recognizes front and rear obstacles in the parking lot, approaching vehicles when reversing, and pedestrians and contributes to accident prevention.
Let's go for a drive with a land cruiser full of advanced technology.
