High-Strength Chassis and Suspension:high-strength, high-rigidity frame structure that uses lightweight, high-strength steel and deeper,wider frame longitudinals help to provide enhanced safety.It receives a new double-wishbone independent front suspension and four-link rear suspension with a solid live axle. The brake system is enlarged and more powerful than ever, with 13.4-inch ventilated discs and four-piston calipers up front and 13.6-inch ventilated discs at the rear. steel -belted radial tires mounted on 18 x 8.0-inch aluminum alloy wheels
Engine, Transmission and Drivetrain:
The Land Cruiser is powered by an all-new 5.7L (346 cid) DOHC V8 engine known as the 3UR-FE. The engine uses electronic fuel injection, Toyota Direct Ignition, four valves per cylinder and a variable-length intake tract to produce 381 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 401 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm.
Safety Systems:the Land Cruiser comes standard with the STAR safety system. A new, four -wheel multi-terrain anti-lock braking system (ABS) automatically selects the optimal ABS profile to provide the most suitable brake force for on- and off-road driving surfaces.Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) helps maintain traction during acceleration by controlling engine output and braking forces to the wheel, distributing the drive force that might have been lost to the wheels and tires have traction. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), with a cut-off switch, helps maintain directional control during cornering by manipulating engine torque and individual wheel-braking influence when it detects tire slippage. The new Land Cruiser features 10 airbags, the most airbags found in any Toyota vehicle.
Body and Interior:
Civilized Comfort for all Driving Conditions The thick, rectangular grille and headlamps maintain Land Cruiser's steady and intelligent expression, while the hood flows gracefully into the grille and beltlines. The body itself utilizes welded high-strength sheet steel, especially in the A-, B-, C- and D-pillars, and in the rocker area to reduce weight and increase rigidity.The interior is optimized for the comfort, security and safety of its driver and up to seven passengers – two in the front, and three each in the second and third rows of seating. |
