LandCruiser’s next step<br />
New chapter for one of Toyota’s most iconic brands as 300 Series lands<br />
NATHAN TAYLOR<br />
Toyota has launched its all-new<br />
LandCruiser 300 Series, kicking off<br />
the next chapter in the legendary<br />
off-roader’s storied history.<br />
Newly constructed from the ground up,<br />
the all-new 300 Series takes the capability,<br />
durability and reliability of the iconic<br />
LandCruiser nameplate to new levels,<br />
while also making advancements in<br />
safety, comfort, performance and technology.<br />
Key upgrades include a new 3.3-litre<br />
V6 twin-turbo diesel engine, a bold new<br />
exterior design underpinned by the<br />
Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA)<br />
platform, and advanced driver assistance<br />
technologies to provide superb on-road<br />
performance and unmatched off-road<br />
capability.<br />
The LandCruiser 300 Series range also<br />
offers customers more choice than ever,<br />
with two new flagship variants – the luxury<br />
Sahara ZX and the off-road-focused GR<br />
Sport – joining the core GX, GXL, VX and<br />
Sahara range.<br />
The Sahara ZX offers unmatched levels<br />
of comfort and style for LandCruiser<br />
buyers, while the GR Sport is the most<br />
off-road capable LandCruiser yet with its<br />
world-first electronic Kinetic Dynamic<br />
Suspension System (e-KDSS) stabiliser bar<br />
control system, and front and rear locking<br />
differentials as standard.<br />
The LandCruiser 300 Series can be<br />
identified by its strong design language,<br />
combining trademark LandCruiser<br />
features with a new, powerful and emotive<br />
styling that is equal parts form and function.<br />
Inside, the LandCruiser’s cabin blends<br />
luxurious style with functionality, and<br />
increased space and flexibility, ensuring<br />
long and taxing journeys through the<br />
Australian wilderness are done in utmost<br />
comfort.<br />
Toyota Australia Vice President Sales,<br />
Marketing and Franchise Operations,<br />
Sean Hanley, said the all-new LandCruiser<br />
300 Series would further strengthen the<br />
reputation of the LandCruiser in the tough<br />
Australian conditions.<br />
“Ever since it was imported into Australia<br />
to work on the Snowy Mountains Hydro<br />
Scheme in the <strong>19</strong>50s, the LandCruiser has<br />
become synonymous with tackling the<br />
The LandCruiser 300 Series is expected to be a big seller.<br />
harshest conditions our country has to<br />
offer,” he said.<br />
“Equally at home in the school car park<br />
or the middle of the outback, the new 300<br />
Series LandCruiser takes the comfort,<br />
safety and off-road ability of our flagship<br />
SUV to new heights.<br />
“We fully expect this new generation to<br />
carry on the stellar legacy of the Land-<br />
Cruiser in Australia.”<br />
