The Toyota Land Cruiser, an off-road icon, is renewed with the 250 model, continuing its legendary history of over seven decades. This new iteration fuses tradition and innovation, presenting a robust and essential exterior design that recalls the origins of the model, while integrating the latest technological innovations.
The Land Cruiser 250 stands out for its imposing proportions, with a length of 4,925 mm, a width of 1,980 mm, and a height of 1,935 mm. The 2,850 mm wheelbase ensures comfortable habitability and excellent stability. The exterior aesthetics, with an elongated bonnet, vertical windscreen, short overhangs and trapezoidal wheel arches, recall its off-road heritage, while modifications such as the more upright A-pillar, door mirrors and low beltline improve visibility and give it a modern look.
Inside, the Land Cruiser 250 boasts a functional and technologically advanced cabin, with a large digital instrument display and an intuitive multimedia system, offering comfort and connectivity. With 5- and 7-seat configurations, the new model offers a versatile and welcoming on-board experience.
Under the hood, the Land Cruiser 250 for Western Europe is powered by a more powerful 2.8-litre turbodiesel engine, mated to an eight-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission. The engine offers a maximum torque of 500Nm, enabling the vehicle to tow up to 3,500kg. A 48V mild hybrid variant is expected to be introduced in the future, combining efficiency with performance.
The technical aspect does not end there: the permanent four-wheel drive system has been refined, with improvements to the differentials and the propeller shaft, to maximize off-road capabilities and efficiency. Torsional rigidity and reliability have been significantly increased, and new solutions such as the electric power steering and the front stabilizer bar with release function further elevate the driving experience.
Ultimately, the Toyota Land Cruiser 250 is not only a tribute to the model’s history, but also represents a major step forward in the future of off-road vehicles, combining form, function and technology in a package designed to tackle any terrain with confidence and comfort.
