The Land Cruiser does have a V6 engine. Here are the details about the Land Cruiser V6: 1. Configuration: The Land Cruiser V6 is equipped with a 4.0L V6 engine, which delivers a maximum power of 202kW and a peak torque of 385Nm, reaching its maximum torque at 4400 rpm. 2. Transmission system: The engine is paired with a 5-speed automatic manual transmission. 3. Additional technologies: The 4.0L V6 engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head.
I previously drove the V6 version of the Land Cruiser, specifically the 2021 new 300 series. The engine is a twin-turbo V6 petrol, which delivers strong horsepower but with lower fuel consumption compared to the previous V8, making it more fuel-efficient for daily commutes, and the acceleration is quite smooth. On the highway, wind noise is minimal, and in the city, there's no delay when starting. It also handles rough roads well during off-roading. In terms of maintenance, the transmission is well-matched, and the oil change intervals are extended, unlike the older models that frequently needed visits to the repair shop. Overall, the V6 provides ample power, making it suitable for family long-distance trips, and it doesn't falter even with a fully loaded trunk. The downside is that the turbo can get a bit restless under high temperatures, but regular checks keep it in check.
