This is the first all-new Land Cruiser in 14 years. It’s a vehicle that Toyota takes very seriously, the pinnacle of its off-road range, a thing of desire to those who want a capable and dependable go-anywhere SUV. Yet we aren’t getting it in the United States.
As with the new Tundra, the Land Cruiser’s V8 is gone, replaced by the same 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo and 10-speed automatic transmission found in a Lexus LS500. Toyota has adapted the powertrain to the demands of off-roading, allowing the force-induced V6 to cope with the 27.5-inch fording capability. This engine’s 409 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque don’t really make you miss the V-8, except perhaps in the aural department. There’s also an all-new diesel option, a 305-hp twin-turbo 3.3-liter -6, which brings 516 pound-feet of torque to the table along with slightly better fuel economy and range.
