The first button on the left side of the old Land Cruiser represents the map, which means navigation. The second is for vehicle information, the third is the menu, the fourth is system settings, the fifth is for storing phone contacts and frequently used navigation destinations, and the sixth is for radio. Below is an introduction to the new Land Cruiser: 1. Exterior: The new Land Cruiser has undergone significant adjustments in its exterior and interior design, while the powertrain will continue to feature the 4.0L/4.6L engines. The new domestically produced Toyota Land Cruiser remains largely consistent with the overseas version, with its overall design fully embodying Toyota's bold chrome styling. The front grille adopts a horizontal slat design, complemented by rugged silver decorative strips. The headlight clusters are connected to the decorative strips and incorporate LED daytime running lights. Additionally, the front bumper design has been updated, and the fog light clusters on both sides now feature chrome borders. 2. Powertrain: The overall style of the new Land Cruiser's center console hasn't changed much compared to the old model, but the redesigned panel now includes a larger screen, which is commendable. The new vehicle is expected to continue using the 4.0L and 4.6L engines. The 4.0L V6 naturally aspirated engine delivers 202 kW (275 PS)/385 Nm, while the 4.6L V8 naturally aspirated engine produces 228 kW (310 PS)/453 Nm.

Having driven the old Land Cruiser for so many years, the button design is very intuitive. The air conditioning area has temperature adjustment knobs and fan speed buttons, allowing quick adjustment of heating and cooling. The audio buttons include a volume knob, radio station switching keys, and CD buttons—listening to the radio while driving is quite relaxing. The lighting section features a headlight switch and a fog light button, which enhances safety when turned on during foggy conditions. The window control buttons are located next to the door, making it convenient to raise or lower the glass with a press. The rearview mirror adjustment knob allows for easy angle changes with a twist. Additionally, if the old model is equipped with a center differential lock, pressing the 4WD system button increases traction during off-roading. These buttons are durable, but regular cleaning prevents dust buildup and avoids malfunctions due to accidental operations. The old car's buttons are simple, reliable, and focused on practicality over flashiness.

I'm a car enthusiast, and after studying the buttons on the old Land Cruiser, I found them quite feature-rich. The audio panel has a volume knob and channel selection buttons, which click when toggled. The AC buttons adjust fan speed and temperature, plus there's a recirculation mode button to optimize air quality. The lighting control area includes headlight switches and front/rear fog light buttons. The window buttons feature one-touch up/down functionality. The instrument cluster has a settings button to adjust the odometer display. The coolest part is the 4WD control button—press it to switch between high and low range modes, preventing slippage during off-roading. The interior also hides a rearview mirror adjustment knob and small storage compartment buttons. For personalization, you can add a Bluetooth adapter to enhance the audio experience, but always respect the original design and avoid reckless modifications. Though the buttons are old, their logic is intuitive, making them super easy to master.

When driving to pick up the kids, the buttons are easy to use. The temperature buttons on the AC adjust the cooling and heating, while the fan speed button controls the airflow. The audio buttons adjust the volume and switch radio stations to pass the time during traffic jams. The light switch button simply turns the headlights on and off. The window buttons raise and lower the glass for ventilation. The rearview mirror adjustment button fine-tunes the angle for better safety. Some older models even have a child lock function button on the rear doors to prevent accidental opening. These buttons require minimal daily maintenance—just wipe them with a dry cloth periodically to avoid sticking. The overall design prioritizes practicality, which is more than enough for family use.
