2016 Toyota Land Cruiser officially revealed
Toyota has officially taken the wraps off the 2016 Land Cruiser facelift, soon after the unveiling of the Lexus LX 570 facelift.
For the exterior, the front fascia gets a redesigned front grille, a new bumper design and new LED headlights. The front fenders, bumpers and hood also have been slightly refreshed. The rear gets some changes too with reshaped taillights and bumper. New alloy wheel designs have been added as well.
Inside, the new Land Cruiser gets new soft-touch materials. Some of the materials have been made thicker as well to provide a better fit and finish. It also gets a new 4.2-inch information instrument cluster and the higher-spec models get a 9-inch display for the infotainment system. Top models also get a 12V power outlet and a wireless charger.
Mechanically, it seems the same petrol engines will be carried over from the ongoing models, which currently include the 4.0-litre V6, 4.6-litre V8 and 5.7-litre V8.
The 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser should arrive in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other GCC countries before the end of the year. It is already on sale in Japan and is set to go on sale in October in Australia, which should be around the same time it arrives in this region.
Keep track of the latest updates and prices in the Toyota Land Cruiser buyer guide.

Picture 2 looks a bit flimsy. But apart from that, i personally think it looks great! Modern and Tough at the same time.

Mash, any comparison test between the land cruiser and Patrol – looking at getting the V8. What do you suggest?

Batrol is better in every way, but the Land Cruiser can take more knocks offroad and smaller to park easier.
