New generation Toyota Land Cruiser to debut at Frankfurt
Toyota is ready to unveil new generation of the iconic Land Cruiser 4WD vehicle at the Frankfurt Motor show. With it's six decades of worldwide success based on the vehicle's reliability in even the harshest off-road conditions yet offering performance and refinement appropriate for day-to-day driving, the Land Cruiser is a true embodiment of Toyota's core values - quality, durability and reliability.
With the new model, Toyota has extended the Land Cruiser off-road capabilities to a whole new level.
The new Toyota Land Cruiser's combined cycle fuel economy is best-in-class with numbers of 34.9mpg and CO2 emissions 214g/km. LC4 and LC5 models grade models are equipped with a new electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), which allows to adjust the front and rear anti-roll bars for optimised on and off-road performance. The flagship LC5 version is further equipped with Toyota's Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) system with Roll Posture Control, which lets the driver tune the ride characteristics with a choice of three damper settings. An electronically controlled rear air suspension system works with the AVS, providing an auto-levelling function and switchable height control.
The new generation Land Cruiser also features the Multi-terrain Select system, which automatically controls power and braking to optimise performance for different types of off-road surfaces and provides the driver with more information about the immediate surroundings.
Inside, the new Land Cruiser's cabin is wisely refined with accommodation for seven in three rows. New high-tech and user-friendly systems are mounted to make life on board easier and more comfortable.
