Toyota has officially announced the launch of the Land Cruiser 300, targeting the Indian market. The Land Cruiser 300 is Toyota’s representative SUV, and it is loved worldwide for its durability and performance. The new model is based on the latest platform and equipped with a powerful powertrain and advanced safety technology, providing a versatile driving experience beyond the city and off-road. Compared to the existing model, it improves fuel efficiency while maintaining high output and torque, delivering stable driving performance in any environment.
Powertrain and Performance
Toyota said that the Land Cruiser 300 for the Indian market will be available in two trims, GR-S and ZX, equipped with a twin-turbo V6 engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission. This will deliver smooth acceleration and optimized power delivery, maintaining powerful performance even when stationary. In addition, Toyota’s all-wheel drive (AWD) integrated management system will be applied to analyze road conditions in real time and automatically adjust the optimal driving mode.
Advanced Off-Road Capabilities
The Land Cruiser 300 boasts advanced off-road technologies, starting with its body, which is built on Toyota’s TNGA-F platform. The new structure is lighter than previous versions while maintaining rigidity and durability, allowing it to tackle rough terrains easily. The vehicle features Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) for improved performance across various landscapes, including sand, mud, snow, and rocks. Additionally, a multi-terrain monitor provides real-time feedback on obstacles around the vehicle, making off-road driving accessible even for novice drivers.
The GR-S trim has a dedicated off-road suspension, differential lock, and upgraded shock absorbers, which ensure a superior grip on challenging roads and terrain, including steep slopes and rocky surfaces.
Luxury and Technology
Inside, the Land Cruiser 300 combines rugged strength with luxury. The driver’s seat features a large digital instrument panel and an advanced infotainment system, enhancing convenience and intuitive control. The interior boasts high-quality leather and soft-touch materials, with the GR-S trim offering a stylish combination of black and dark red accents. In contrast, the ZX trim presents neutral beige and black options for a more refined atmosphere.
The 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system is paired with a premium JBL 14-speaker audio system and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone connectivity. Toyota’s i-Connect telematics system also provides remote access to vehicle status, door locks, and real-time location tracking.
With its powerful performance, advanced off-road capabilities, and luxurious interior, the Land Cruiser 300 is set to make a strong impact on the Indian market. It combines Toyota’s legacy of durability with cutting-edge technology and comfort.
