It is not about good or bad things. It depends on the the Client. Many people will modify these cars no matter what. I just watched a video about a Suzuky Jimny in UK (20,000 GBP) modified with extra 40,000 GBP. It was a two seater π€.
Here we have three trims for the present discounted LC 150. The second trim gets the KDSS and the top trim gets also AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension) together with:
Panoramic View Monitor (PVM): parking assistance with panoramic view (4 cameras)
Multi Terrain Monitor - visibility under the car...

I like the comment about the price: "The base Toyota Land Cruiser 1958 will start in the mid-$50,000 range, which is a huge departure from the luxury-priced Toyota of old. This price...
It looks like i-Force Max Hybrid is a mechanical AWD and GH Hybrid and Hybrid MAX have an electric motor on the rear axle as you said. This is on the website:
GH Hybrid AWD: "Electronic On-Demand AWD system"
GH Hybrid MAX AWD: "Full-Time Electronic All-Wheel Drive" This one is 54k Limited and...
As far as I know the rear wheels are powered by an electric motor ON DEMAND just for the GH hybrid 2.5 non-turbo.
The GH hybrid MAX 2.4 turbo has a mechanical full time all wheel drive.
It is not easy to understand Toyota technologies. GH is probably the only car with two different hybrid...
I agree. Regarding the hybrid systems I noticed two differences. GH Hybrid MAX has 362 HP combined vs 326 on LC. Hybrid battery capacity 288V 5AH (Toyota website) meaning 1.44 kWh vs 1.87 kWh on the LC 250.
Good point. Are there any reasons for the LC 250 to be cheaper ?
Regarding the mpg I just posted on the "proven drive train" thread. There are two hybrid versions of Grand Highlander :rolleyes: . Big difference on price&efficiency. But also on power&torque&towing...
I just discovered Toyota is selling TWO versions of hybrid Grand Highlander ! :rolleyes: Wow !
The 2.5-liter non-turbo inline-four and electric motors AWD returns 36/32 mpg city/highway, versus the 2.4 Turbo Hybrid MAX 26/27...
I agree. You can just drive a little bit and you can accelarate gently up to a certain speed on EV mode. But the engine should turn off when decelerating, coasting, downhill. Our Ford Fusion Hydrid does it at any speed. This is how you get the max efficiency, by driving on EV mode as much as...
Above is just a picture. Here is the link:
I still hope the information is not correct. Hybrid system should be able to turn off the engine anytime at any speed. I never heard about such speed limitation.
It's a PDF file on the website of Toyota UK with all the models available today. The price is for the Landcruiser 150. There is a picture, there are details about the engine.
LC250 will replace this model.
Have a look to the prices in UK. 20% tax in included.

GBP vs USD is 1.22
I should confess that more I read about these modern systems more I believe my Landcruiser 120 is brilliant. I bought the base model back in 2007 because it was the only one with rear differential lock :rolleyes: . Because it has no electronics at all. No ESP no Traction Control. 6 speed manual...
"Whatβs the Difference Between AWD and 4WD?
The difference between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive is pretty simple: Either the front 2 wheels pull the vehicle or the back ones push it. But what about terms like 4-wheel drive (4WD or 4x4) and all-wheel drive (AWD)? Cars and trucks...
