The new-generation Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 was one of the showstoppers at the Toyota pavilion at the Auto Expo 2023. The offering has seen high demand globally extending up to four years in certain markets, while the demand in India has been high as well. Considering the model was unveiled globally in August 2021, Indian customers have had to wait about a year and a half for the first batch of models to arrive.
The 2023 Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 for India comes only with a diesel engine. Power comes from the newly-developed 3.3-litre V6 motor tuned for 305 bhp and 700 Nm of peak torque. The oil burner is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. The SUV is based on Toyota’s TNGA platform, which makes it lighter than its predecessor and more agile with respect to on-road dynamics. The new LC300 is lighter by 200 kg, which translates into 10 per cent lower CO2 emissions.
The cabin remains a seven-seater with beige interiors and is fairly loaded on the feature front with a new 12.-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other highlights include LED headlamps, DRLs and taillights, 20-inch alloy wheels, and a comfortable suspension. The model retains its off-roading chops while being known for its legendary reliability. The SUV is fully imported into India as a Completely Built Unit (CBU). It competes with offerings like the Land Rover Defender and Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, BMW X7 and the Lexus LX 570.
