New and tested 4WDs

The obvious visual changes are in the reshaped grille, bumper, headlight and bonnet package at the front and new LED tail light cluster at the rear.

Not so obvious is the addition of the latest Toyota Safety Sense package which consists of the Pre-Crash Safety System, Pre-Crash Brake, automatic high beam headlamps, dynamic radar cruise control and lane keep assist.

For 2016 Land Cruiser 200 also gets a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Emergency Stop Signal.

In its latest form Toyota’s outstanding DOHC/32-valve 4.5 litre V8 turbo-diesel engine produces 200 kW of peak power 650Nm of peak torque and has an improved overall combined fuel consumption of 9.5 litres/100kms.
