For 2024, the Toyota Land Cruiser's ** was announced, with a starting price of $57,345, which is good news for many consumers who are looking forward to this classic SUV. In the current environment of constant inflation, such a downward revision is rare and also makes people more optimistic about the prospects of this car.
Historically, this is the lowest Land Cruiser in nearly 20 years, with the 2005 100 series starting at $55,325 and the 2024 model down quite a bit. This change is good news for professional off-road enthusiasts who love this "tough guy". Despite the downgrade, new cars are increasing in size and luxury, which may confuse some consumers as they prefer the original style.
Compared to the previous model, the 2024 Land Cruiser no longer comes with a three-row seat or V8 engine. This is not surprising, as the V8 engines with large displacements are gradually being phased out of the scene. Instead, the all-new turbocharged 4-cylinder engine features a hybrid powertrain capable of putting out 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. Although the towing capacity has been reduced, the fuel economy of the new powertrain has been significantly improved, with an EPA combined fuel economy rating of 23mpg.
In addition to the powertrain update, the 2024 Land Cruiser is equipped with a number of new technologies, including standard safety gear and useful equipment for rough machining. The model will be divided into two grades, the base model and upgraded trim for more comfort and luxury. In addition, the first limited edition model will also be launched.
Overall, this ** reduction has brought the Toyota Land Cruiser back into the consumer eye and become a more attractive option. If you like a minimalist and functional style, but you want an SUV that can easily traverse rough trails, then this car is definitely worth considering. Of course, if you have higher requirements for luxury configurations, the Lexus LX is also a good choice.
