New Land Cruiser

The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser marks a significant departure from its predecessors by adopting a hybrid powertrain. Under the hood, you'll find a 2.4-liter i-FORCE MAX turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid engine that delivers an impressive 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. This shift from the V8 engines of the past is part of Toyota's commitment to reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency without sacrificing power. The hybrid system intelligently combines electric motor assistance with gasoline power, giving the Land Cruiser enough muscle to conquer rough terrains and long-distance drives while enhancing fuel economy, which is particularly beneficial for those embarking on extended adventures.

The performance of the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser is optimized for both on-road and off-road experiences. With a strong emphasis on off-road capabilities, some trims come equipped with Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control systems that allow the vehicle to adjust to various surfaces like mud, rock, and sand. The hybrid engine's immediate torque response ensures powerful acceleration, while the vehicle's overall weight reduction compared to earlier models aids in both agility and efficiency. Whether you're tackling rugged trails or cruising on highways, the Land Cruiser offers a smooth and capable ride. Its upgraded suspension system and enhanced steering feedback make it feel more responsive, giving drivers more confidence in challenging environments.

The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser combines rugged exterior design with a luxurious and functional interior, making it versatile for both urban settings and off-road adventures. Its exterior retains the iconic boxy silhouette but now features sharper lines, a more aerodynamic shape, and rides on 18-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires, signaling its off-road readiness. The front grille, accented by LED headlights and a skid plate, emphasizes its tough nature, while chrome accents and the option for a panoramic sunroof add a touch of sophistication. Inside, the spacious cabin offers premium materials like soft-touch surfaces and optional leather upholstery, with seating for five and foldable rear seats for expanded cargo space. Modern amenities such as dual-zone climate control, heated seats, and a well-designed dashboard ensure comfort and ease, whether navigating city streets or rugged trails.

While both the 2021 and 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser models share the same iconic name, there are significant differences between the two. The most notable change is the transition from a V8 engine in the 2021 model to a 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid powertrain in the 2024 model. The hybrid system not only improves fuel efficiency but also provides more torque, making it better suited for both daily driving and off-road performance.

In terms of technology, the 2024 Land Cruiser has seen major upgrades. The infotainment system has been upgraded to include a 360-degree camera system and the  addition of an advanced off-road systems like Multi-Terrain Select, making it a more capable off-road vehicle.

The exterior design has been subtly updated in the 2024 model, with a sleeker look that combines ruggedness with modern aesthetics. Inside, the 2024 Land Cruiser offers more luxury touches, including higher-quality materials and more advanced tech features, while the 2021 model was more utilitarian in comparison.

Safety has also been improved, with the 2024 Land Cruiser incorporating the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite as standard, whereas the 2021 model came with a less advanced version of the safety system. The 2024 model includes newer features like Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, which were not standard in the 2021 version.
