What is the length of the Land Cruiser in meters?

The length, width, and height dimensions of the Land Cruiser are 5170mm/1975mm/1930mm, 5095mm/1975mm/1930mm, and 4858mm/1847mm/1439mm, respectively. These data are official specifications. The length of the Land Cruiser refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding points at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two parallel planes aligned with the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding points on both sides. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and its supporting plane. The naturally aspirated engine of the Land Cruiser delivers a maximum power of 202 kW and a maximum torque of 385 Nm, with a maximum horsepower of 275. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. National regulations stipulate specific dimensions for vehicles. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle excludes side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is designed to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking to prevent accidents or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5 meters to comply with the usage requirements of public roads.
I often get asked about the dimensions of my Toyota Land Cruiser, which is approximately 4.98 meters in length. This is quite practical in real-world driving situations, such as needing to find larger parking spaces, especially in crowded downtown areas where it tests your driving skills. The advantage is its massive interior space, which can comfortably accommodate luggage or three rows of passengers without feeling cramped. I remember the older models were shorter, and while the current version has been optimized, the increased length does affect the turning radius, so I recommend adding a rearview camera for assistance. Also, pay attention to garage size during regular maintenance to avoid door dings against the walls.
Last time I helped a friend measure his Land Cruiser, it was exactly 498 centimeters, which converts to 4.98 meters. We used a tape measure in the garage to do it ourselves—the body is sturdy, so you need to leave some extra space when parking. The length comes from its off-road chassis design, enhancing stability and reducing wobble on mountain roads, but in urban driving, you have to anticipate turning points. Personally, I love the spaciousness this size provides—camping gear fits in effortlessly.
