Here are the differences between the Land Cruiser GT version and the standard version: 1. Rear: (1) The GT version features a full body kit at the rear to match the front fascia. Additionally, it comes with an electric tailgate, which was previously only available on the top-tier 5700 model, along with a tow hook at the bottom. It also includes front and rear parking sensors. (2) The standard version lacks the silver GT badge at the rear. 2. Seats: (1) The GT version is equipped with premium leather ventilated seats, offering a more luxurious and comfortable ride. (2) The standard version uses regular fabric seats. 3. Powertrain: There is no difference between the GT version and the standard version in terms of powertrain. Both are powered by a 4.0L V6 engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 275 and a peak torque of 390 Nm.
As a long-time enthusiast who has driven various off-road vehicles, I've experienced both the standard and GT versions of the Land Cruiser. The GT version clearly has a more sport-oriented overall tuning, featuring a unique front grille and sporty kit that gives it a younger appearance. Its suspension system is firmer, offering better handling during cornering, while the standard version is softer, more suited for long-distance comfortable driving. Inside, the GT version comes with leather-wrapped seats featuring heating and ventilation, and an upgraded JBL audio system, whereas the standard version has fabric seats and basic sound. Power-wise, the GT version's engine has slightly higher specifications, providing quicker acceleration response, especially noticeable on mountain roads. Price-wise, the GT version is over 100,000 yuan more expensive, but if you prefer a dynamic style, it's worth the extra cost. Daily maintenance costs are similar for both, with the GT version having slightly higher fuel consumption, but both versions boast excellent reliability.
