Current Land Cruiser

Although the picture definition is not high, the overall style of the new-generation Land Cruiser body-in-white is different. The current models are close, and they have not clearly escaped the product image that the Land Cruiser has formed for a long time. However, from the perspective of details, the lower edge of the side window between the C-pillar and D-pillar of the new car is more upturned, not the straight shape of the current model. This is one of the changes in the exterior design of the new car. In addition, it can be seen from the shape of the front fender of the new car that the shape of the headlight group will also be changed. The opening of the sunroof indicates that the size of the sunroof of the new car is expected to be similar to that of the current model.

Previously exposed interior spy photos showed that the new generation of Land Cruiser has been renewed. First of all, the overall design style of the new car's interior is unified with Toyota's current latest family interior design language. Among them, a 12-inch multimedia display appears in the center of the console, and the steering wheel is replaced with a new four-spoke model. Including the steering wheel, the new car's center console and door panels use more leather wrapping and stitching technology. It can be seen that Toyota is trying to improve the interior texture of the new generation of models.

Fortunately, the new generation of Land Cruiser will continue to use non-bearing body structure, but foreign media said that the new car's power system will all be replaced with 6-cylinder power, including 4.0-liter V6 naturally aspirated gasoline engine, 3.5T V6 gasoline engine and 3.3T V6 diesel engine, and is expected to provide a gasoline hybrid version in the future.

Editor's comment:

Based on the current new car information, it can be seen that the new generation of Land Cruiser is undoubtedly moving towards high-end, from the interior design to the configuration level, compared to the current models have improved. At the same time, the relative "small row quantization" and "V6ization" of the power system are also a major feature of the new car. Even if positioning the hardcore SUV , it is no longer synonymous with roughness. I think this is the development trend of hardcore SUVs nowadays. At present, including the Land Rover Defender and other models, while retaining the hard-core SUV genes, they are also embracing the "road" more, but fortunately, the new generation of Land Cruiser did not proceed. Obvious "highway" transformation. Current information shows that some structural components of the new car are the same as the current models, at least not too shrunk in product settings. It can be expected that after the launch of the new generation of Land Cruiser, the market position of current models will likely continue. However, as the market where the current models are the first to withdraw from the market, whether the new generation models can return to the country is currently the biggest question.
