The Toyota Land Cruiser is a fantastic off-roader if that’s what you’re after, but SUVs such as the BMW X5 are more comfortable and refined on the road
If you want a 4 by4 that’s a proper off-roader, the Toyota Land Cruiser should be right at the top of your shopping list. It’s popular with people who live in the harshest conditions on Earth, which should tell you everything you need to know about its off-road ability and unrivalled reliability.
Like its off-road-focused equivalents, the Toyota Land Cruiser looks suitably rugged. It has a retro-inspired boxy design, with chunky bumpers, rugged running boards and a big, flat bonnet. The slim LED headlights are the key giveaway that this is a modern car, though.
Inside the old school, utilitarian approach continues – but in a good way. Sure, you have the requisite infotainment display atop the dashboard, but you also get lots of dials and switches that are easy to use on the move. They’re chunky so you can use them with gloves on.
The trade off for this ruggedness is the fact that there are plenty of cheap materials to be found, particularly lower down in the cabin. You do get some squidgy plastics on stuff you touch regularly, but the Land Rover Defender and Mercedes G-Class are posher inside while still being tough.
There’s just the one engine option available on the Toyota Land Cruiser. It’s a 2.8-litre diesel engine making 204 horse power and 500 Newton metre of torque. It’s mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission and permanent four-wheel drive.
Toyota hasn’t confirmed official fuel economy figures, but you can expect it to be fairly thirsty – around 30 miles per galon is likely. A second engine will join the line-up in 2025 using mild hybrid technology, and should be a bit more economical as a result.
Vehicle Excise Duty and company car tax will be confirmed at a later date, but you can expect high CO2 emissions, and therefore expensive rates for both. If you want to keep costs low here, consider plug-in hybrid or electric alternatives.
Space and storage are pretty good for those in the front, but considering this is a big SUV, it’s a bit more cramped in the back than you might expect. Go for the seven-seat version and kneeroom is okay in the third row, but the lack of under-thigh support isn’t great for long drive. The boot capacity is 408 litres, which means it’s quite a bit smaller than all of its alternatives, but the practical square shape makes it look much bigger than the numbers suggest.
