Toyota's Land Cruiser 4x4 is back for a new generation, bringing major advancements in terms of design, quality and driving ability. CAR tries it in prototype form
that has been 72 years in the making and is renowned for its unstoppable and reliable nature which has made it the car of choice in some of the harshest climates on the planet, from the Australian Outback to the deserts of Dubai.
So for this new generation, now known as the ‘250’ or Prado depending on where you’re based, all has changed. Toyota says it looked at previous Land Cruisers while coming up with this new car while retaining its ‘simple and sturdy character’. Its 201bhp and 369lb ft of torque figures remain the same as before, but courtesy of the new turbo and gearbox, it feels considerably quicker than the old Land Cruiser’s 12.9-second 0-62mph time. The Land Cruiser is still in prototype stage, so various stats remain ‘tbc’ until it’s properly homologated, but we anticipate a couple of seconds being shaved off that 62mph sprint time.
Remember the old Land Cruiser and Hilux’s shake and general racket it made when the engine started? Well, it’s massively more refined and quieter now, to the point it feels like they’ve started from scratch with this engine. In terms of space, there’s the choice of five or seven seats, with our car being the former. At just shy of five metres long, it’s similar to the Land Rover Discovery and offers a vast interior with a huge amount of space in the second row. As a utilitarian family car goes, it’s ideal.Toyota won’t open Land Cruiser orders in the UK until much later in 2024, so pricing and specs are very much still under wraps.
