A COMMANDING presence and exceptional performance have made the Toyota Land Cruiser a “status vehicle.”
A NEW LOOK and smart features define some of the exciting new offerings found in the new Land Cruiser (LC200), unveiled last week by Toyota Motors Philippines for the local market.
The Land Cruiser was first introduced in the Philippines in 1995, and has become a vehicle of choice as a premium SUV.
Over the years, the Land Cruiser grew in size and be- came known for its reliability and offroading heritage.
Often seen as a “status vehicle,” the Land Cruiser stands out because of its commanding presence and performance.
THE REAR gets a new chrome furnish and combination lamps.
The new LC200 comes in two choices: the LC200 “Premium” model and a base model LC200. Both models feature the same reliable 4.5-liter direct injection common rail system and a twin turbo intercooler V8 diesel engine that delivers 232 horsepower (3200 revolutions per minute) and 615 Newton-meters (1800-2200 rpm) of torque.
It is also larger than the mod-el it replaces. The new Land Cruiser is longer by 145 millimeters for the base model (now at 5095 mm), while it is longer by 220 mm for the Premium variant (5170 mm). The height was also increased by 40 mm, and width by 10 mm, while the wheelbase remained the same at 2850 mm.
Aside from the fully reworked front end including a larger grille and bumpers, the exterior features all-LED head- lamps, while the rear gets a new chrome furnish and combination lamps. The Premium variant also gets a bumper overrider and added body stripes.
