The Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 is the latest generation of the SUV and we expect Toyota to launch this model in India by the end of August this year. However, since Toyota dealers across the country were already taking bookings, the first batch of the Land Cruiser LC300 SUV has already been sold out.
The demand for Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 is not only high in India but in every other international market where Toyota has launched this SUV. In fact, the waiting period for Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 goes up to 4 years in select countries.
In addition to that, Toyota has already closed the bookings for the Land Cruiser LC300 in India due to high demand, semiconductor shortage and a few other issues.
The Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 is a much-awaited model in the global markets as the 200 series Toyota Land Cruiser stayed in production for almost 13 years since its introduction in 2008.
In addition to that, the previous generations of Toyota Land Cruiser SUVs carried a reputation as one of the most capable SUVs on the planet with bullet-proof reliability. So, when Toyota launched the latest generation of the Land Cruiser, the demand for the SUV quickly went through the roof.
Speaking about the latest generation of Toyota Land Cruiser, the model is in its sixth generation, and this generation is roughly the same size as the model it replaces with an identical wheelbase of 2,850mm. However, the Land Cruiser LC300 is 10mm wider and 5mm shorter than the previous iteration of the Land Cruiser.
Though the new Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 is slightly larger and packs in a lot more electronics and safety aids than the previous model, thanks to the new GA-F platform, Toyota has managed to decrease the kerb weight and improve the weight distribution of the latest generation of Land Cruiser.
Speaking about the design of the Toyota Land Cruiser LC300, the new model still looks like a Land Cruiser but looks a bit more sophisticated with its sleeker-looking headlamps and taillamps. In addition to that, the interior of the latest generation of Toyota Land Cruiser looks a lot more futuristic.
In the new Land Cruise LC300, Toyota has ditched the previous powertrains options that were once available with the 200 series Land Cruiser model.
The Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 now comes with two V6 engine options. The 3.5-litre, turbocharged V6 petrol engine makes 409.32bhp of peak power and 650Nm of peak torque.
On the other hand, the 3.3-litre turbocharged V6 diesel engine puts out 305bhp of peak power and 700Nm of peak torque. Moreover, both the engine options come mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission as standard.
In terms of features, the Toyota land Cruiser LC300 comes equipped with features such as a large 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, moonroof, heated and ventilated seats, wireless charging, multiple USB charging ports, 14-speaker JBL premium audio system, 4-zone automatic climate control, heated steering wheel, and many more.
