Why not a Land Cruiser

I am very far from a Toyota Fan boy, yea i have a 200 series LC and a 5th gen 4R, but also currently own other new vehicles from BMW, Audi, and Jeep. My opinion is that the LC is NOT underpowered at all, not even a little bit. I think a lot of this is psychological around the 4cyl. This engine has more power than my 200series V8, my 3.0T Q7, my Jeep, and close to as much as my X5. People just need to move on and accept the future. As for comparing Toyota to the Korean makers like Kia, that is just crazy on so many levels. If its the sound of the 4banger that make people feel inferior just add the Tacoma TRD muffler or the Borla. Problem solved

I wonder how long this extra battery boost lasts. With such a small battery - is it more than a few seconds?

Just my personal opinion but your kind of swimming against the current to be Toyota bashing on this Forum. If your intended target is Toyota Corp then go directly to them. Your kind of raining on our parade here

There are absolutely some fair criticisms you can make against the LC. But lack of power is not one of them. The "instant torque" you get when accelerating is fantastic, and much better than my previous vehicle. (2022 Acura MDX - which is no slouch) Compared to something like a Kia Telluride - which has a very anemic V6 - it's like a rocket ship.
