Toyota Land Cruiser Review 2024: A Classic Off-Roader with Modern Updates

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a legendary off-roader that has been rejuvenated with a cool retro design and mechanical updates aimed at improving its on-road performance. With a wide range of models available, Toyota offers something for everyone, from hybrid superminis to manual sports cars and rugged off-roaders.

The Land Cruiser has long been a symbol of Toyota’s solid engineering, and while it may be considered niche in Europe, it remains hugely popular in other markets. In some regions, the Land Cruiser is a model range in itself, offering options like the 4.6-meter-long Land Cruiser 300 Series and the classic Land Cruiser 70 Series with a V8 diesel engine and manual transmission.

In Europe, the focus is on the 250 Series, also known as Prado, which is set to launch a new generation in 2024. While not electric or hybrid, the new J250 Land Cruiser retains much of the mechanical specifications of its predecessor. Despite this, there are still plenty of exciting updates to discuss in this latest iteration of the iconic off-roader.
