Introduction
The Toyota Land Cruiser is an off-road Sport Utility Vehicle that was first introduced in 1951 by Toyota. It is one of Toyota’s longest-running models and one of the most popular SUVs around the world due to its reliability, durability, and off-road ability. It is a front-engine, four-wheel-drive vehicle that continues to evolve throughout its generation and boasts an excellent reputation around the world.
The current Toyota Land Cruiser J300 which was released on 9 June 2021 and began selling in Japan on 2 August 2021, is built on the TNGA-F platform with redesigned body frame to reduce weight and increase rigidity. The J300 also inherits its predecessor’s essence of durability, reliability, and off-road ability joined by the new cutting-edge technologies for an easy and pleasant driving experience on any type of road without tiring easily.
