NEW 2024 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 76 HARDTOP 5DRS

4.5L TURBO DIESEL 4WD MANUAL TRANSMISSION

MODEL CODE – VDJ76L-RKMNYV

The off-road champion is back, baby. It shares a platform with the recently redesigned Lexus GX and wears a similarly boxy look, but the Cruiser is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid that makes 326 horsepower. (The Lexus uses a 3.4-litre, 349bhp turbocharged V6.) Whereas the previous generation LC was a large SUV, this time it's been scaled down to medium size to compete with other mainstream off-roaders such as the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. This strategy also leaves the full-size SUV market open for the Toyota Sequoia. Inside, the Land Cruiser seats five in two rows and has all the infotainment technology to keep modern buyers happy. Toyota even includes advanced driver assistance features, as most Land Cruiser owners will use this truck as a weekend toy as well as a weekday commuter. When it's time to hit the trail, the Land Cruiser has the equipment to handle the rough stuff, including a four-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing and a locking differential. Look for the new Land Cruiser in dealerships from spring 2024.
