The new 300-series generation Toyota Land Cruiser revealed with a Twin-Turbo V6 but it won't make it into US Market as it is. We may get to see a version the same as Lexus LX.
Key Points:
- Toyota revealed the 300-series generation Land Cruiser SUV.
- Two engine variants: 3.5-litre V6 and 3.3-litre Turbo V6.
- This model won't make it into US Market.
Toyota doesn't redesign its SUV, so the arrival of the 300-series is a big deal. The new-gen Land Cruiser is much more bolder and modern. It's also lighter and powerful than the ongoing 200-series.

While we wait to see what Toyota does with this new model on our shores, we can dive into the specs. It weighs a claimed 440 pounds less than its predecessor and uses two new engines: a gasoline twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 with 409 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque or a turbodiesel twin-turbo 3.3-liter V-6 with 304 hp and 516 pound-feet of torque. A ten-speed automatic transmission and—naturally—four-wheel drive are standard across the board.
The new design doesn't look radically different from the current model, but the front end has a more prominent grille and a snazzier lighting setup, while the rear has new taillights and a reshaped tailgate. Inside, the cabin benefits from a significant upgrade with a large tablet-style infotainment screen and a cleaner dashboard layout. Three rows of seats will be available, and the third row appears to fold into the floor—a change from the current model, which requires you to flip and fold the Wayback seats up towards the windows for more cargo capacity.
