New Land Cruiser 300 - how long it has been waiting. The whole 14 years had to spend Toyota on the release of the updated model. During this period, so many things happened in the world ... that the epidemic and boom of electric trucks did not turn. And Cruiser remained unchanged. But stable - you will say. However, you do not want to buy a fourteen -year car in 2021, giving it a considerable amount.
but the desire of those who wanted to change. Toyota, even during the presentation, we were generously filled with a bunch of facts about the new model:
- Fresh platform;
- aluminum body;
- Modern V6 engines;
- other suspension;
- Improved steering;
- updated interior;
- Other trunk doors.
and more ... By the way, now the 300th Cruzak will be in different versions. Two of them were shown to us so far, but the manufacturer told that others will appear over time.
dimensions have almost not changed. The length differs depending on the variant - in comfort+ this figure is 4865 millimeters, and in "urban" it will increase by 15 mm.
width and wheelbase did not increase-1980 and 2850 millimeters respectively. Very little - by 5 mm increased the road gap, which will be 235 millimeters.
The volume of the trunk has not changed and is 909 liters. The lid can be equipped with a contactless opening sensor and electric drive. But the beloved for many of the lower section, they decided to give up. The manufacturer states that thanks to the solid lid it is easier to load things.
comfort+ a little more ascetic. It has a 9-inch panel with physical buttons as new Camry, a shelf instead of a CD and one rear-view chamber (with a washer) against a circular inspection in the top version. He also has a dramatically different block of climate control and a slightly modified salon made of artificial skin.
In our opinion, the interior of more "off -road" modification is a little more convenient, despite many modern options in Toyota LC300 70th Anniversary.
Let's move on to technical equipment and tell a little number. Let's start with the processed body - now he has aluminum hinged details and a new frame. Due to the changes, it was possible to reduce the weight by 200 kg and increase the rigidity by 20 percent.
But the Land Cruiser in the equipped mass has hardly changed. All through new electronics, equipment and improved sound insulation. And so, now it is much quieter, especially at high speeds.
New Toyota Land Cruiser 300 is now delivered with new units. Unfortunately, the V8 V8 was replaced with Twin-Turbo, 3.5 liters volume and 415 horsepower (650 nm torque). Works with a 10-speed AISIN machine. Now the acceleration of "up to hundreds" has 6.8 seconds. A little later will be presented diesel modification at 299 hp.
It is worth noting that the dynamics impresses not only "on paper" but also in real operation. Only gently touching the accelerator, the engine immediately is gaining momentum. The car drops several gears and begins to accelerate confidently. In such moments, it is difficult to believe that a huge SUV, weighing 3 tons, can behave so cheerfully.
now a little about the possibilities of modifications.The anniversary version contains an inter -connection differential torsen with lock, reduced series of gears and self -locking intercostal differential on the rear axle.
The off-road version is equipped with two differentials with rigid locks-in front and back. And yet, it has an updated E-KDSS system with three stabilizers of transverse stability, which should fight the roll and rocking the Cruiser. This system is not available for anniversary modification.
E-Kds is now built in the new scheme-two hydraulic cylinders on the front stabilizer and one in the left side behind. They have installed a new electronics, which independently controls the articulation on each wheel. It is worth noting that this system is really felt, especially on a bad road.
a new hydraulic amplifier with an electric motor on the shaft made the steering wheel much easier without worsening information. The reaction to the good coating is quite fast and clear, and on the bad it copes with strokes and other features.
The car responds to gas linearly and predictably, allowing clearly controling the thrust. The new swollen V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic machine cheerfully picks you up at all speeds. And thanks to excellent noise insulation, you practically do not notice noise from the speed set, enhancing the feeling of "lightness".
Only when braking can you notice that your SUV is really heavy.
from Land Cruiser 70th Anniversary everything would be good if it was not for a longitudinal loosening. At "waves" and speed more than 70 kilometers per hour, there is a rather strong swing, in which the ride will not be comfortable. At the road, the situation is also controversial. On large stones and depressions it is confidently shaking and shaking on all sides. And it is always possible to break the bumper, installed quite low. To improve the rocking situation, you can switch to Sport mode. In it
comfort+ a completely different "beast". With an E-KDSS, the car is much more successful in rocking and roll. At speeds it is felt more collected. The off -road shaking is much smaller. And thanks to the best geometry (at the expense of bumpers) and various off -road modes, including off -road Crawl Control, which now works almost silently, you can afford more and go on. To sum up, you can say that comfort+ is the right heir of the Land Cruiser title. This is what he should be. And the anniversary and future versions, although they are entitled to life, but are not required. Maybe new diesel versions and "sports" GR Sport will change our opinion, but nothing is known for them. And to answer the question of whether the new Toyota Land Cruiser 300 will be hit, the statistics of pre-orders-only more than 20 thousand in Japan in Japan. The queue for popular modifications has already stretched for more than 4 years. in our market the situation will be similar. The next months will be clear. Is it worth buying a gasoline version now or waiting for a diesel version to decide, but you can say that the 300th Cruzak has come out successful.
