The time has come for Mat to get his hands on the brand new Toyota Land Cruiser!
He'll be testing out this brand new 4×4 both on & off-road to see if it has what it takes to take on class leaders like the Suzuki Jimny & Mercedes G-Class! So let's take a more detailed look …
Starting with the design, the Land Cruiser looks seriously rugged on the exterior. It rolls up with a boxy-style design, paired with a huge rear bumper and enormous windows along the side and back to help let loads of light in. As you 'd expect with a correct 4×4 it likewise includes roofing system bars in addition to running boards along the side, while up from the grille design returns the traditional Land Cruiser design. It looks fantastic!
Step inside and there'll be no mistaking that you remain in a Land Cruiser. The dash style mirrors the chunky looks of the outside, and there's even padding on the centre console so you don't damage your knees when off-roading! There's a reasonable little bit of scratchy plastics throughout the place, however that can be forgiven due to the fact that there are numerous physical buttons! Nearly whatever is managed with a button rather than through the infotainment screen – just like the old days! The infotainment system itself is okay, and there are also digital dials for the driver, too.
There's just one engine offered for the Land Cruiser – it's a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel that can produce 204hp and 500Nm of torque. This power is sent out to all four wheels via an 8-speed automated gearbox.
We do not understand the rate of the Land Cruiser yet, however we expect it to cost in the region of ₤ 55,000 – ₤ 60,000. So is it worth it? Stick to Mat and see for yourself!

Between throwing rear cargo covers, sticking twigs up tailpipes and in this case driving on rough trails like it’s the autobahn – it’s a wonder more things don’t break. Toyota should use this video as marketing material. “Our new Land Cruiser survived Mat Watson”
