A REVIEW OF THE ALL NEW TOYOTA LANDCRUISER 300 SERIES

Toyota is renowned for building high quality, reliable car brands, a feat that has seen the car manufacturer feted as one of the leading automakers by revenue in the world, alongside the likes of the Volkswagen Group.

At the core of Toyota’s SUV range is the Landcruiser, a brand with a rich heritage and proven track record in performance, handling and off-roading capability; from the first series of FJs produced in the 1950s to the very recent 200 series concluded in 2021.

The All New Landcruiser 300 Series offers class and opulence through a refined, all-rounded SUV that is perfect for your everyday and off-road journeys. Both the engine and design aesthetics of the car have received major upgrades from its predecessor.

The new Series offers a range of various trim levels, including the GX, GX-L, VX, VX-R, Sahara, Sahara ZX and GR Sport.

Engine

All cars in the 300 series are equipped with a standard V6 Twin-Turbo engine, away from the V8 engine which powered previous generations, with petrol and diesel engine variants.

The diesel engine has 3.3L (3300cc) displacement, producing 700Nm of torque and 304HP & 227kW of power at 4,000 RPM. These are pretty impressive, considering the previous generation’s diesel engine churned 220kW of power through a thirstier V8 engine layout. The petrol engine on the other hand has 3.5L (3500cc) displacement and produces 650Nm of torque and 409HP & 227kW of power at 4,000 RPM. Both engines are mated to an all-new 10-speed automatic transmission system.

Claimed fuel consumption figures are 11L/100 Km in urban areas and 7.6L/100Km on highways, a combined estimate 8L/100 Km, equivalent to 12Km/L.

Interior

The interior of the 300 series has received a facelift, with a new, polished cabin that offers lots of new technology.

Key interior specs may vary from trim level to another, but mainly include:

5 or 7-seater configuration

Thumb start Ignition with Keyless Entry

Leather Upholstery

Electric, Heated & Cooled Seats with Lumbar Adjustment Support

Exterior

The new Landcruiser comes with standard 17 to 18-inch wheels, depending on the trim model. The front grille is the most notable redesigned exterior feature, as well as a new tailgate design.

Off-roading

One of the reasons why people love Landcruisers is their offroading capability, ruggedness and ability to conquer tough terrains. For this, Toyota have maintained the same frame structure as on the 200 series, which accommodates a standard full-time 4WD system across the range. Multi-terrain driving modes are available in the new series, with more sophisticated components in the higher and more luxurious trims like the Sahara, Sahara ZX and GR Sport.

Additional features for offroading include:

Front, centre and rear locking differentials

Traction control to help navigate snow, gravel and muddy terrains with ease

Multi-terrain driving modes – Mud, Dirt, Sand, Rock, Snow as well as an Automatic mode.

Safety
