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 />
