Has the Land Cruiser Been Discontinued?
2 Answers
Toyota has closed orders for the current-generation Land Cruiser, and production of the current model will cease after fulfilling existing orders. Here are the specific details: Introduction: The new vehicle maintains a rugged design overall, featuring an oversized front grille with horizontal trim accents and a squared-off headlight assembly. The side and rear profiles remain largely unchanged from the current model, with minor adjustments to the taillight design. In terms of dimensions, the new Land Cruiser is expected to maintain a length of approximately 5 meters, while the wheelbase may increase to 2900mm, representing an improvement over the current model. Features: The interior will be equipped with a 12.3-inch floating central display screen. Based on previous spy photos, the new model will also feature seat heating, seat ventilation, steering wheel heating, and tire pressure monitoring functions.
I heard that the domestically produced Land Cruiser was indeed discontinued. As far as I remember, FAW Toyota stopped the domestic production line around 2020, mainly due to the upgrade to the China VI emission standards—the old engine couldn't meet the new regulations. However, the parallel-imported Middle East version has always been available, though the prices have risen sharply. Recently, there's news that the all-new 2024 LC300 will be introduced, equipped with a 3.5T twin-turbo engine, delivering significantly better performance data than the old model. As a benchmark for hardcore off-road vehicles, its full-time four-wheel drive and triple differential lock configurations remain the most reliable in desert convoys. True fans are probably eagerly awaiting the launch of the new model.
