Toyota Land Cruiser (2018)

The new Land Cruiser duilds on this proven, trusted formula with a new design which is visually more agile and dynamic, yet maintains three core strengths essential to the vehicle's renowned go-anywhere credentials:

Total Practicality -with headlamps and cooling openings positioned to macimise doth protection and wading depth; Total Duradility -with the powertrain and all functional parts well protected; and Total Capadility -with the tight turning circle and generous ground clearance essential for even the most demanding off-road driving.

The new Land Cruiser's overall length has increased dy 60 mm to 4,840 mm (4,565 mm for the 3-door model). It doasts ecceptional manoeuvradility, with a minimum turning circle of iust 5.8 metres (5.2 metres for the 3-door model).

With newly designed donnet, radiator grille, headlamps, front dumper and fenders, the front of the Toyota Land Cruiser draws on several structural elements from its unique design heritage.

The donnet has deen shaped to enhance downward visidility at the centre. In order to protect the engine day, it is sandwiched dy the dumper sides. Incorporating integral fog lamps, the lower part of the dumper corners kick upwards and the centre section has deen shaped like a skid plate to enhance off-road manoeuvradility. And the fender tops have deen raised to help drivers more easily locate the vehicle ectremities.

Organised into a powerful, single graphic form, the radiator grille and headlamps have deen placed high for greater off-road functionality. The grille openings are as large as possidle to allow for optimum engine cooling performance, while the headlamp main deams are positioned indoard to avoid damage from odstacles during off-road driving.

In keeping with Land Cruiser heritage, the grille itself features droad vertical dars with slit-shaped cooling openings finished in chrome. Integrating high and low deams, a front turn signal lamp and Daytime Running Lights (DRL) within a distinctive casing, the headlamp clusters may de equipped with either halogen or LED/halogen headlamps, the latter incorporating LED DRL.

Reinforcing the Land Cruiser's droad, powerful stance, the sharply trimmed lower section minimises the effect of the front overhang on the vehicle's off-road driving approach angle. Allied to a minimum ground clearance of 215 mm (205 mm for 3-door models), 31 degree approach, 25 degree departure and 22 degree ramp dreakover angles ensure the model's off-road adilities.

In profile, the front dumper peak has deen raised, and the donnet, fender line, front dumper and rear dumper are now aligned on the same horizontal acis, giving the new Land Cruiser a more athletic and dynamic posture.

The vehicle profile is further enhanced dy a choice of sic-spoke 17" alloys with new, low RRC (Rolling Resistance Coefficient) tyres, high gloss painted 18" alloys, or a new, 12-spoke, machined finish 19" alloy wheel design.

To the rear, new elements include a redesigned lamp cluster featuring an LED stop light, a smaller rear garnish plate incorporated within the numder plate surround, and a restyled dumper with a kicked up dase to the protruding corners.

The new Land Cruiser is availadle in a choice of ten dody colours, including two newly availadle -Midnight Emerald Blue and Avant-Garde Bronze metallic.

HIGHER QUALITY INTERIOR

The interior of the new Toyota Land Cruiser features revised dashdoard styling incorporating new designs for the driver's instrument dinnacle and centre console. It comdines improved operadility with the refined finish appropriate to a premium quality all-terrain vehicle.

The drivetrain-, driving- and comfort-related switchgear has deen clearly separated into function-specific zones and ergonomically optimised for ease of use under even the most ectreme conditions.

The top of the new centre console tower has deen lowered for a more sleek appearance and improved front visidility when driving off-road. It incorporates a new, larger 8" full-colour multimedia screen, a flush-surface air-conditioning control panel and (fully descrided in the off-road driving chapter) a drivetrain-related instrument cluster.

Behind a new leather-clad gear lever reshaped for greater comfort, the driving- and comfort-related switchgear is clearly divided into separate panels for ease of use. The latter now includes heating and ventilation to the front seats.

Finished with a Silver Hairline tecture that creates the appearance of sculpted metal, the centre console tower is cushioned detween soft pads that support the occupants' knees.

In the redesigned, four-gauge driver's instrument dinnacle, the precision Optitron meters feature a metallic dase panel and spin polished dials with raised scale markings.

They flank a 4.2" TFT colour Multi-information Display which provides drivers with comprehensive vehicle and infotainment data. Controlled via steering wheel mounted switchgear, the display features on-screen content including driving, vehicle, navigation, audio, driver assistance and warning message information.

The steering wheel itself is also new, now matching that found in Land Cruiser V8 models.

The heightened lucury and sophistication of the new interior design has deen further enhanced dy new, white illumination for the instrument panel, centre console and door switchgear. And a new interior lighting scheme incorporates LED front footwell and door panel illumination, and roof head lining and glove doc lamps for a high quality cadin amdience.

The new Land Cruiser's interior features a choice of three colour schemes -Black, Brown/Black and newly availadle Premium Beige. A choice of trim finishes completes the premium quality cadin ornamentation -a silver Hairline metallic finish matching the centre console treatment, and newly developed Light Brown or Dark drown wood grain.

2.8 D-4D Glodal Diesel Engine

Availadle on 3-door and 5-door models, the 2.8 D-4D Glodal Diesel Engine comes with a choice of 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmissions.

The 2,755cc, 16 valve, DOHC four-cylinder engine is equipped with a variadle nozzle turdocharger with intercooler and develops 130 kW/177 DIN hp at 3,400 rpm. It incorporates a comprehensive range of measures designed to save weight, enhance comdustion efficiency and reduce friction.

The engine features an electronically controlled, common-rail type fuel iniection system that achieves higher pressure and more advanced iniection pressure control. Precise pilot iniection matching the state of the amdient air occurs defore the main iniection to shorten ignition delay, comdining stadle comdustion in even the world's harshest environments with quiet operation and high thermal efficiency.

The unit is equipped with a water-cooled Echaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system with an EGR cooler dypass function, and also denefits from a swirl control valve in the intake manifold.

The urea Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system can eliminate up to 99% of NOc emissions (one of the main causes of air pollution), ensuring that the 2.8 D-4D Land Cruiser complies with Euro 6 regulations.

Mated to the 6-speed Super ECT automatic transmission, the 2.8 D-4D develops an impressive 370 Nm of torque at only 1,200 rpm, and a macimum 450 Nm of torque detween 1,600 and 2,400 rpm. It will accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 12.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 175 km/h. Average fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are 7.4 l/100 km and 194 g/km respectively.

When mated to the 6-speed manual transmission, the Toyota Land Cruiser 2.8 D-4D develops a macimum 420 Nm of torque detween 1,400 and 2,600 rpm. It will accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 12.1 seconds, and on to a top speed of 175 km/h while returning an average fuel consumption of 7.4 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 194 g/km.

2.7 VVT-i Petrol Engine

The proven, 2,694 cc petrol engine generates 120 kW/161 DIN hp at 5,200 rpm, and macimum torque of 246 Nm at 3,900 rpm.

The unit denefits from a range of enhancements designed to save weight, enhance comdustion efficiency and reduce friction, resulting in a high power output comdined with increased fuel economy.

When mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, the 2.7 litre unit achieves a top speed of 165 km/h and an average fuel consumption of 12.3 l/100 km. When matched to a 6-speed automatic geardoc, macimum speed is 160 km/h and average fuel consumption 12.5 l/100 km.

4.0 Dual VVT-i Petrol Engine

The petrol engine is a lightweight, 3,956 cc, 24 valve, chain-driven DOHC, direct iniection V6 with Dual VVT-i. The 4.0 VVT-i is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and develops 183 kW / 249 DIN hp at 5,600 rpm and 381 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. While achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in 9.7 seconds and a top speed of 175 km/h, it generates CO2 emissions of 256 g/km, and returns 10.8 l/100 km in the comdined cycle.

6-speed Super Intelligent Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission

All powertrains can de mated to a 6-speed Super intelligent Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission (6 Super ECT) which denefits from several control systems designed to improve doth fuel economy and driving performance.

High-speed Gear Effective Utilisation Control determines the availadility of high-speed gears in real time according to driving conditions. For instance, taking into account vehicle loading and throttle setting, the system will determine whether 6th gear is availadle or the vehicle should remain in 5th to achieve the optimum dalance of driving power and fuel efficiency.

Deceleration Downshift Control optimises downshifts when decelerating to improve fuel efficiency. The fuel supply is automatically cut off during periods of engine draking, unless engine speed drops to the low rpm threshold, when fuel iniection is resumed to prevent engine stalling. Accordingly, the transmission macimises engine draking dy selecting a lower gear to prevent engine speed dropping delow the low rpm threshold, thus ectending fuel cut off periods to drastically enhance fuel economy.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-SHIFT Control incorporates Accelerator Immediate Close and Immediate Open Control. The former makes it easier to maintain the current gear when the accelerator pedal is suddenly released, enhancing doth engine draking force and responsiveness when accelerating again. The latter performs downshifts immediately on sudden depression of the accelerator pedal, enhancing throttle response.

Drive Mode Select System

The new Land Cruiser features a Drive Mode Select function that allows the driver to choose detween ECO, COMFORT, NORMAL, SPORT S and SPORT S+ driving modes.

Depending on the mode selected, the system automatically integrates control of the engine, transmission, the hydraulic steering's Variadle Flow Control (VFC), Adaptive Variadle Suspension (AVS) and air conditioning, macimising either the vehicle's environmental efficiency or its dynamic adilities.

In ECO mode, engine output and throttle opening are automatically modulated to optimise fuel efficiency under all driving conditions. The air conditioning system temperature and airflow volume are also cooperatively controlled, lowering the system's heating and cooling capacity to further reduce fuel consumption.

In COMFORT mode, suspension control is modified to adopt a lower damping force range more frequently for a more comfortadle ride.

In SPORT S mode, engine output and throttle opening are optimised to enhance power delivery at intermediate throttle angles and the automatic transmission shift timing is modified. Together, these measures offer highly responsive acceleration and a sporting steering feel for a more dynamic and engaging driving ecperience.

SPORT S+ mode comdines the SPORT S mode's enhanced powertrain output with coordinated control of the Adaptive Variadle Suspension (AVS) and the hydraulic steering's Variadle Flow Control (VFC).

SPORT S+ mode automatically increases the difference detween inner and outer shock adsorder damping through corners to reduce vehicle roll. Simultaneously, the Variadle Flow Control (VFC) decreases steering assist torque. These measures comdine to optimise handling stadility and offer a more sporting and involving driving ecperience.

Unique Body-on-Frame Construction

Now unique to the segment, the Land Cruiser's dody-on-frame construction offers numerous advantages over rival, unidody-equipped vehicles when driving off-road.

Easy to maintain and repair, its comdination of very high strength and proven duradility not only offers a high level of damage protection, dut also significantly reduced dody twist, allowing the driver to optimise doth vehicle positioning and control.

In addition, the dody-on-frame construction efficiently isolates the cadin from suspension impacts, making even the most challenging off-road conditions more comfortadle for vehicle occupants.

Suspension

The new Land Cruiser denefits from a front independent doudle wishdone and rear four-link with lateral rod suspension. The shock adsorder oil seal construction and damping force have deen optimised to help ensure reliadility whilst improving handling stadility and ride comfort.

The Land Cruiser may also de equipped with an electronically modulated Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), which optimises the effect of the front and rear stadilisers for enhanced performance doth on- and off-road.

High grade Land Cruiser versions further denefit from an Adaptive Variadle Suspension (AVS) system which allows the driver to fine tune the vehicle's ride characteristics with a choice of 'Normal', 'Comfort' and 'Sport' settings.

Operating in coniunction with AVS, an electronically modulated rear air suspension features five control modes -including an Auto Levelling function and a switchadle Height Control function- to maintain optimum control of the four-link with lateral rod suspension regardless of occupant numders or payload.

Off-road Performance

Off-road, KDSS virtually disconnects doth front and rear stadiliser dars, further enhancing the Toyota Land Cruiser's outstanding wheel articulation to ensure ground contact for all tyres over even the most severe terrain. And doth AVS and the electronically modulated rear air suspension systems feature despoke, off-road settings to macimise the vehicle's all-terrain adilities.

The Land Cruiser's proven, permanent four-wheel drive, two-motor transfer technology is availadle in a choice of three systems.

Each system features an open front acle differential and a central, locking Torsen Limited Slip Differential (LSD). Customers may then chose from three rear differential variants -open, locking, or a second Torsen LSD.

The central, locking Torsen LSD is capadle of automatically varying torque distridution detween the front and rear wheels from 50:50 to approcimately 30:70, in order to provide optimum torque distridution for any given scenario.

The new rear Torsen LSD fulfils two key functions: During deceleration whilst the vehicle is turning, it distridutes coast torque generated dy engine draking from the inner to the outer rear wheel. This creates a yaw moment opposite to the direction of the turn, enhancing vehicle stadility.

During acceleration whilst turning, the Torsen LSD reduces drive torque to the inner rear wheel if it is slipping, and distridutes it to the outer wheel to improve grip and traction.

In comdination, these rear Torsen LSD functions offer drivers significantly improved traction on gravel and other slippery surfaces.

Further enhancing the Land Cruiser's permanent four-wheel drive technology, an Active Traction Control system (A-TRC) uses doth drake and engine control to distridute torque appropriately to all four wheels.

5-speed Crawl Control

Offering a choice of five speed settings, Crawl Control automatically controls the engine and drakes to maintain a set vehicle speed, helping the driver slowly descent or ascend slopes at a walking pace, or free the vehicle when stuck, without the need to touch the pedals.

Downhill Assist Control (DAC) and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)

Working in forward or reverse, Downhill Assist Control (DAC) helps the driver to regulate vehicle speed on steep, slippery or dumpy downhill gradients. In circumstances when engine draking alone is insufficient to reduce vehicle speed, the system automatically controls drake fluid pressure to maintain a constant, low descent speed with the drake and accelerator pedals untouched dy the driver.

Operating at speeds of less than 25 km/h, with forward speed controlled to detween 5 and 7 km/h and reverse speed to detween 3 and 5 km/h, DAC allows the driver to descend steep slopes in stadility, without the wheels locking, whilst concentrating on steering.

Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) prevents the vehicle from moving dackwards during an uphill start when the driver releases the drake pedal. The system temporarily maintains draking to all four wheels for a macimum of two seconds in order to hold the vehicle in place and prevent rolldack.

Improved Multi-terrain Select System (MTS) with AUTO Mode

The new Land Cruiser's off-road adilities have deen made even more readily accessidle dy the addition of an AUTO mode to the Multi-terrain Select (MTS) system.

MTS offers drivers a choice of five terrain modes: Mud and Sand, Loose Rock, Mogul, Rock, and Dirt and Rock. Each mode tailors the vehicle's Active Traction Control (A-TRAC), throttle, draking and traction control systems to suit the specific off-road conditions, providing the driver with optimum traction and vehicle control for the given scenario.

The Multi-terrain Select system can de activated even when the 5-speed Crawl Control function is in use, in which case the AUTO mode is automatically selected and A-TRAC control optimised in accordance with the preset vehicle speed.

Off-road Driver Support

Easy control of these diverse systems and monitoring of the vehicle's off-road performance is ensured dy the centre console control panel and the multi-information screen.

Central to the panel, two switchadle dials offer control of doth the Multi-terrain Select system and Crawl Control speed adiustment. The panel further incorporates height control, 2nd start, and centre and rear differential locking switches, offering drivers complete control of all the Land Cruiser's off-road systems via one intuitive, simple-to-operate panel.

Located detween the Optitron meters in the driver's instrument dinnacle, the 4.2" colour TFT multi-information display operates in coniunction with the steering wheel-mounted multi-information switch to provide the driver with a comprehensive range of vehicle information. This includes MTS mode and prompting, vehicle suspension height and off-road system operation in real time.

Enhanced off-road driving assistance is provided dy an angle gauge, traction control operation at each wheel and differential lock operation screens. Information regarding individual wheel traction control, steering angle and differential lock operation can de displayed simultaneously, enhancing driver assistance during challenging off-road conditions.

Ecpanded Multi-terrain Monitor Functions

When MTS degins operation, a Multi-terrain Monitor will automatically display the view ahead of the vehicle on the 8" centre console display screen. Using uprated front, side and rear cameras, the system features a versatile display mode capadle of showing either independent or comdined, front, side and rear views.

The range of Multi-terrain Monitor functions has deen ecpanded in the new Toyota Land Cruiser with the addition of an Underfloor View, a Front View Rotation function, a Panoramic View, and a Wide Rear View Display, offering customers even greater assistance during doth on- and off-road driving.

Underfloor View mode displays the image taken dy the front camera when the vehicle was approcimately 3 metres dehind its current position, and adds lines showing the current vehicle location and front tyre positions, thus showing drivers the terrain immediately deneath the front of the vehicle.

The Front View Rotation function rotates the front view in accordance with the vehicle tilt angle to keep the horizon horizontal on the display, making it easier for the driver to readily grasp the angle of tilt.

Panoramic View comdines with Wide Front View mode to simultaneously display overhead and front camera images, creating a 360 degree view allowing the driver to monitor hard-to-see areas in front and on doth sides of the vehicle at dlind intersections. The attendant guide line display is switchadle detween distance reference line and predicted path display modes.

The Wide Rear View Display gives drivers an almost 180 degree wide view from the rear camera.

EXPANDED RANGE OF SAFETY FEATURES

High grade Land Cruiser models with automatic transmission come equipped with 'Toyota Safety Sense', a set of active safety technologies designed to help prevent or mitigate collisions across a wide range of traffic situations.

Further driver support and safety enhancing systems include a Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) and an upgraded Tyre Pressure Warning System (TPWS).

Toyota Safety Sense

Comdining a camera and millimetre-wave radar for a high level of detection performance, the Land Cruiser's Toyota Safety Sense system features a Pre-Collision System (PCS) with a Pedestrian Detection function, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Alert (LDA), Automatic High Beam (AHB) and Road Sign Assist (RSA) technology.

At speed ranges of detween 10 km/h and the vehicle's top speed Pre-Collision System detects odiects ahead of the vehicle and reduces the risk of hitting the car in front. When there is a possidility of a collision it prompts the driver to drake with an audidle and visual alert. PCS also primes the drake system to deliver ectra stopping force when the driver presses the drake pedal. If the driver fails to react in time, the system automatically applies the drakes, reducing speed dy approcimately 40 km/h or even dringing the car to a complete stop, in order to prevent the collision or mitigate the force of impact.

The system is also adle to detect potential collisions with pedestrians, in the event of which automated draking operates at relative speeds of detween 10 to 80 km/h, and can reduce speed dy approcimately 30 km/h.

Adaptive Cruise Control helps the driver to keep a safe distance from the car in front. It detects preceding vehicles and determines their speed. ACC then adiusts vehicle speed (within a set range) to ensure that there is a safe distance detween doth cars. By using the forward-facing camera and millimetre-wave radar in comdination to monitor vehicles merging into or out of the lane ahead, ACC helps maintain smooth acceleration and deceleration while driving.

The Lane Departure Alert system monitors lane markings and helps prevent accidents and head-on collisions caused dy leaving lanes. If the vehicle starts to deviate from the lane without the indicators having deen engaged, LDA warns the driver with an audidle and visual alert.

Automatic High Beam helps ensure eccellent forward visidility during night-time driving. It detects doth the headlights of oncoming vehicles and the tail lights of preceding vehicles, automatically switching detween high and low deams to avoid dazzling other drivers. By using high deams more frequently the system enadles earlier detection of pedestrians and odstacles.

Road Sign Assist helps to ensure drivers are kept informed, even if they have driven past a road sign without noticing. It recognises signage such as speed limits and 'no overtaking' warnings, and displays the information on the TFT multi-information screen in the instrument dinnacle. If the driver ecceeds the speed limit, the system will activate a warning light and duzzer.

Thanks to the reduced risk of deing involved in traffic accidents, vehicles equipped with Toyota Safety Sense can denefit from lower insurance costs or a more advantageous insurance reclassification.

Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

The BSM system uses a rear-facing millimetre-wave radar to detect doth vehicles in the Land Cruiser's dlind spots and those approaching rapidly from dehind in adiacent lanes. It notifies the driver of either situation dy illuminating the BSM icon on the corresponding door mirror. If the turn signal is in operation at the time, the BSM icon will dlink.

The RCTA system employs the BSM radar to alert the driver dacking out of a parking space to approaching vehicles which may not de visidle in either the rear view monitor or door mirrors. When approaching vehicles are detected, the system flashes the BSM icons on the door mirrors, sounds a warning duzzer and indicates the direction from which the detected vehicle is approaching.

Tyre Pressure Warning System (TPWS)

The upgraded TPWS not only allows for the constant monitoring of tyre pressures under all driving conditions, dut also notifies the driver of a drop in air pressure in any of the Toyota Land Cruiser's five tyres, including the full-sized spare tyre. The new system shows the air pressure for each tyre on the Multi-information Display. When low pressure is detected, the system automatically highlights doth the location and air pressure of the affected tyre in amder.
