What’s that little attention to detail that you love about your new LC?

deftkillerstu · Jul 21, 2024

I’ve had my FE for 2 weeks now and I know it sounds silly, but I love that there is a small ledge to rest your hand on when using the touchscreen. My wife’s Volvo touchscreen doesn’t have this and I will often miss touching the correct part of the screen.
I also like the luggage load protector. I thought it was gimmicky at first, but I like how it protects the back bumper when loading and protects the inside of the rear door if cargo slides and hits it.

Funny whenever I use the touchscreen and rest my hand on the ledge I think about how nice and soft that trim piece is.

I like how simple and clean the interior is. I know some think it looks cheap and plasticy but I prefer it.

I test drove an X5 when shopping for the LC and there were nice things about it for sure, but I felt like it was trying a little too much - especially the ambient lighting strip through the front dash. Seemed overly in your face with “luxuries”.

I also test drove an F150 lariat and that dash was loaded with things - multiple power outlets, big knobs and buttons, storage (kind of nice) trays everywhere. That was too in your face utilitarian for me.

The LC strikes a good balance - subtle & clean, somewhat luxurious and somewhat utilitarian.

Maybe it’s a me thing since my wardrobe is almost exclusively nicely made clothes with no branding. Clean and simple.

The entire camera system ..

I like all the interior lighting. It's like an airplane with the lights out.

Great acronym. This is exactly what the Landcruiser represents.

I am super happy that they used an actual torsen (likely type C) limited slip central differential as opposed to using an open diff with break simulated LSD.

If you approach the car at night with the key fob in your possession, the down lights on the side mirrors and the front and back seat overhead lights illuminate!

Just realized I have had mine a month now and have yet to drive it in the dark. Hmm.

Funny, living in AK and we’ve yet to have a dark enough night to see how it looks at night. Looks awesome in the pic.

I really don’t know enough to appreciate what you just said.. but wish I did.

The active noise cancellation. My dad is 88 and a life-long car guy. I was showing off the new ride and he commented that he had "never been in a vehicle so quiet".

I like the black head liner

I miss the place to store my sunglasses under the armrest

I like having max torque at only 1,700 rpms. I've gone over some steep, rutted, gnarly "roads" and the LC just powers up them like a mountain goat.

Keep your head up and your feet on the pegs. I like your avatar.

Just found this last night... the background on the dash changes colors based on the driving mode: green for eco, blue for normal, and red for sport!
