First Look: Toyota Land Cruiser | New Defender Rival

[Dragoon]

​

Ever see a new car and think, “Oh, yeah, they’re gonna sell a billion of these". Meet the new Toyota Land Cruiser – a rugged midsize SUV with rough-and-tumble intentions that's coming to Europe and America - yay!

The Land Cruiser certainly looks the business, appearing to have been designed only using right angles. The standard 18-inch wheels and knobby tires give this thing real presence, and the optional 20-inch alloys look great, too. The uptick in the body sides and contrasting white roof are clutch styling choices, and you know, this thing gives off major retro FJ Cruiser vibes. Nice work.

But what else do you need to know? Join TG's Tom Ford for a full deep-dive into Toyota's new, retro-modern Land Cruiser.

i wonder if they moved the volume knob on all of the builds, or only the non-US models just have the volume knob down below there in the center console.

Also is anyone a bit irked these $60k suvs seem to have prop up hoods?

Did anyone else notice the First Edition badging? I don't think I've seen that before.

I've seen it before but only in the Euro models. I hope the US models don't have it.

Any vehicle I've ever bought that has decals I don't want, I just told them I want them removed before delivery.
