Are NEW 4x4s a WASTE OF MONEY?

We're putting a brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser up versus a 15-year-old Variety Rover to see which is the very best off-road.

Explore new & pre-owned car handle Carwow:

When it concerns off-roaders, couple of brands are doing it much better than Toyota and Land Rover. The concern is, does the all-new Land Cruiser have what it takes to beat a 15-year-old Range Rover over a series of off-road challenges?

To learn, let's take a more detailed take a look at the stats …

To begin with, we have the Land Cruiser, which is powered by a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel. This creates 204hp and 500Nm, with this power sent to all four wheels. It weighs in at 2,415 kg, and as brand-new it costs around ₤ 80,000.

Then we concern the Variety Rover – which is Sam's own car! There's a 3.6-litre twin-turbo V8 diesel under the bonnet, and this sends 272hp and 640Nm to all 4 wheels. It's a fair bit much heavier than the Toyota, weighing in at 2,642 kg, but it's a whole lot cheaper – Sam only paid ₤ 5,000 for it!

Both cars and trucks come with a number of off-road functions, but will the amount of tech in the Land Cruiser be too much for the Range Rover to match? Stick with Mat and Sam to see on your own!

Thanks to for joining us for this video!

      @lemcakes32422absolutely and not expensive either, too many clowns jump on the old RR bandwagon tbh

      and both expensive to run, I’d not go back to a 4×4 again

      RR is the nicer and faster 4×4 to drive

    If that really is Sam’s own car this is so unfair

      If the range rover was same generation to land cruiser it was easy win to range rover 😂 coz 15 years old car was just 1️⃣ point off

      Yes you like status and what people that don’t know you or know anything about cars (just like you) think that you have money buy owning the trash the rr is.

      ​@manuelpiston orrr maybe, just maybe he likes the car and the way it looks? Or maybe the fact that its more comfortable?

      @manuelpiston did it occur to you, that maybe people think the L322 is cool? Maybe the interior is much nicer and maybe at £75k less in price, they don’t care about an extra grand a year in maintenance? I’d happily buy an L322 for £5k, even if I had millions in the bank, I’d never pay £80k for a landcruiser. L322 for me every single time and image has nothing to do with it.

    The L322 was indeed RangeRover’s peak. What a lovely looking vehicle, even when its compared to the modern cars of today.

      Back in the day, it’s the first Suv I saw that looks good, before I discovered the 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe/suburban

    L322 for the win! You can tell Matt doesn’t care about the car hes driving the range owner is looking after it

      I mean at the end it won’t matter even if it’s being babied. Famous ozzie saying: drive a land rover to go to the outback, drive a land cruiser to make it back home.

    2. @Duncangafney1 Avatar
      @Duncangafney1

      @khonjel_singh and none of us live in the outback. Yes the Landcruiser is a lot more reliable, it’s also 16 times the price and far less cool.

      ​@Duncangafney1 dude, I’m clearly shilling for the land cruiser, yes. But I’m not in anyway comparing an old land rover against a new land cruiser for value proposition.

    Sam being so gingerly with his own car vs “not my car, not my problem to repair” attitude with every other vehicle was hillarious

      Sam is pretty respectful with other peoples cars, and in general.
