Looking back on the general series of Toyota Land Cruiser product development, which product will impress you, if you start from a single point of view, it is definitely LC70, compared with other series of Land Patrol, LC70 is the symbol of the real hard-core i off-road vehicle, and in the Middle East or the Sahara Desert region of Africa, the most frequent model. Now, Toyota will also officially replace this car, the new car is the first to be launched in Japan, the official price is about 230,000 yuan, of course, if it is introduced into the domestic market in the future, ** at least doubled, let's walk into this car first, to see what surprises it brings us after the change.
From the front, the new car still continues the classic design of 1984, the off-road attribute characteristics are obvious, netizens are Xi to call it "he**y duty", simply put, it is an SUV that does heavy work, in this regard, Toyota still adheres to the consistent style. In terms of specific design, the LC70 perfectly blends retro and modern, with a tandem grille in sync with the new Prado, including the complex blast hole headlights inside, which can also add fashion attributes to the new car. Not only that, but for the first time, LED running lights have been added to the car, which increases the recognition, and the exaggerated front bumper also ensures the hard-core attributes of the new car. As well as the new pattern of the middle grille, the rest of the part is almost unchanged, to continue the classic styling style to the greatest extent. Sticking to the obvious characteristics of off-road vehicles, such as an integral front axle, diesel engine, manual transmission, time-sharing four-wheel drive, etc., it was changed in 2014 until the release of the 2024 LC70 today.
If the front position of the car can still make you feel some sense of fashion, then to the side, it is completely a continuation of the retro, the iconic double waist line still appears on this car, the shape of the front and rear wheels is also more contemporary, and all other aspects are all 80s design, and including the entire detail performance, Toyota's designers also have just right. At the rear, the exposed external spare wheel is still on the side of the door. The style of the double door is also more immersive, and like the front of the car, its rear surround is also relatively simple!But it can be a good interpretation of this car.
Although the entire interior has kept pace with the times, most of it is still a heritage of classic design. For the first time, the three-spoke steering wheel features two elements, leather and a wooden cover, with a more traditional middle position and a physical structure for the buttons. The display area is also only mechanically arranged, including the entire display effect is basically synchronized with the design of the 80s. As for the middle position, it is still the original rough shape, the air conditioning is completely manually controlled, the seats are also simple style, and the overall atmosphere is the tool cart environment.
The powertrain, this new version of the LC70 officially abandons the original D4D diesel engine, and replaces it with the latest 1GD-FTV 2The 8T diesel engine, which has a maximum power of 150kW and a maximum torque of 500Nm, has also been upgraded to an Aisin 6AT automatic transmission. Don't underestimate this gearbox, you know, Toyota's LC70 has stuck to manual transmission for the past few decades. Looking at it this way, the change is still very obvious.
In terms of professionalism, this car continues to adhere to the front integral axle, time-sharing four-wheel drive, the entire off-road performance is still outstanding, the new car has been officially announced in Japan, the price is about 230,000 yuan, of course, if introduced into the country in the future, ** may be doubled.
