In the realm of iconic SUVs, the Toyota Land Cruiser has always held a position of reverence. And now, Toyota has pulled back the curtain on the masterpiece 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser that’s set to redefine adventure on the roads of North America and beyond.

In the USA, it goes simply by the name ‘Land Cruiser,’ but step beyond the northern border, and you’ll find it is known as the ‘Land Cruiser Prado,’ ready to conquer global terrains with the same vigor. With a starting price of around $55K in the US, this beast is certainly not for the faint-hearted.

Under the Hood and Beyond

Sporting the model chassis code J250, it finds its strength in the Toyota New Global Architecture Ladder frame chassis, the backbone shared with its LC300 Land Cruiser sibling, the mighty Sequoia, and the robust Tundra and Tacoma. It’s like the culmination of Toyota’s engineering brilliance in a single DNA strand.

Under the hood, a symphony of power and sustainability awaits. The i-Force Max hybrid engine, a 2.4L inline 4 Turbocharged wonder, unleashes 326HP and 630NM of torque. An electric motor dances in seamless harmony with the 8-speed automatic transmission, making every acceleration a thrill.

Power and Precision

The Land Cruiser (or Prado) stands at 4920mm in length, 2139mm in width, and 1859mm in height, embracing its substantial size with pride. The wheelbase of 2850mm adds to its stability, ensuring that every journey is a poised adventure.

Adventurous Drive

Venture into the wild with the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser, where terra firma meets the sky. Its full-time 4WD stands as the ultimate ally, backed by a central locking differential and a 2-speed transfer case. Facing steep ascents or daunting descents? Fear not, for crawl control and low-speed cruise control come standard.

Luxury Redefined

Inside, opulence meets innovation. The interior boasts a fully digital instrument cluster that whispers stories of your journey. Depending on your chosen trim, a 12.3″ infotainment screen might grace the dashboard, a portal to connectivity and entertainment. From heated ventilated seats to a 2400 Watt power AC inverter, the Land Cruiser pampers its passengers.

Safety Features

Safety isn’t just a feature; it’s a commitment. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 stands as the vigilant guardian, offering radar-based cruise control, lane tracing, pedestrian detection, road sign assist, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and auto high beams.

Beyond Boundaries

As the Land Cruiser conquers North American roads with its i-Force Max hybrid, the world beyond will experience its might through various engine options. From the 2.7L NA Petrol to the 2.8L Turbo Diesel, Toyota ensures that every continent feels the Land Cruiser’s heartbeat.
