Toyota Land Cruiser

Toyota has officially unveiled its 8th generation Land Cruiser SUV. Set to bow at October's Australian International Motor Show in Sydney, the new Land Cruiser is completely restyled — taking some front end styling cues from the Toyota Tundra — and is longer, taller and wider than the model it replaces.

The Australian-spec Land Cruiser will be available with either a 4.5L turbo-diesel V8 — producing 286 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque — or a 4.7L gasoline V8 making 288 HP and 328 lb-ft of torque. The diesel powerplant will be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with the gasoline unit using a five-speed auto.

The new Land Cruiser will feature an optional KDSS suspension, co-developed with Australia’s Kinetic, which uses a hydraulic system that controls the front and rear stabilizer bars to improve stability. Gasoline models will be equipped with Toyota's new "crawl control" system which controls the engine and brakes to maintain a low speed when traversing off-road obstacles such as rocks, sand or steep hills.

The Land Cruiser's sister SUV — the Lexus LX570 — will use a Tundra-derived 5.7L gasoline V8 when it bows in the U.S. market, so look for the U.S.-spec Land Cruiser to be fitted with the same engine.

a aparut in romanica... la preturi NESIMTITE!

exista doar doua motorizari mari(v8 diesel 286 cp si v8 benzina 288 cp).. dar nu asta ar fi problema...

cel mai ieftin model e diesel si costa 74.100 euro cu tva inclus! iar la 74k euro nu are nici tapiterie din piele, nici trapa, nici scaune reglabile sau incalzite electric, nici.. multe alte minuni... la 85k euro au toate chestiile de mai sus + navi si mai ceva, dar ramane ridicol de scumpa si prost echipata pt. pretul asta... si ca si cum toate astea nu erau de ajuns, se pare ca nu dipune deloc de faruri xenon sau suspensie pneumatica (are nu stiu ce amortizoare cu ajustare automata, dar e departe de o suspensie pneumatica reglabila manual)...
