2 Answers
The differences between Land Cruiser and Highlander are: 1. Different manufacturers: Land Cruiser is produced by FAW Toyota; Highlander is produced by GAC Toyota. 2. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height of Land Cruiser are 5015mm, 1930mm, and 1750mm respectively; The length, width, and height of Highlander are 4890mm, 1925mm, and 1720mm respectively. 3. Exterior design: Land Cruiser adopts the more fashionable and sporty XSE sports version appearance, which is very appealing to young consumers, while Highlander maintains its consistent elegant and stable design, making it more acceptable to the target consumer group.
I'm currently weighing these two cars, which is quite crucial from a family perspective. The Land Cruiser Prado is smaller in size with a five-seat design, making it more agile to drive, easier to maneuver in the city, and convenient for parking. The trunk space is generally sufficient, fitting two or three suitcases without a problem. The Highlander offers much more space, with an optional seven-seat configuration. The second row is spacious, providing comfort for kids, and features adjustable seats, making it ideal for long trips with the whole family and luggage. It also has plenty of storage compartments, suitable for daily use by large families. Safety-wise, they are similar, with collision warning and lane assist as standard features. In terms of fuel consumption, the Land Cruiser Prado is slightly more economical, especially the hybrid version in city driving. The Highlander has stronger power but consumes more fuel. For small families or commuters, the Land Cruiser Prado might be the better choice, while the Highlander is more practical for larger families. After test-driving both a few times, the seat comfort is not significantly different, and I personally prefer the more practical option.
