The Old Fortuner i.e. 1st and 2nd Gen were kind of inspired from how Land Cruiser looked. Now with the new Design-line, it seems that they are taking lot of inspiration from Lexus which is evident from the 3rd and 4th iteration of Fortuner.

White color of the LC300 looks a bit odd however some-how the Red Color and Black design look a lot better.

I find the Front End Design to be inspired from the Cadilac Escalade. This does give it an aggressive look to the car.

The J300 looks like a very generic large American SUV at least from the outside. This could be both a good and bad thing. The purists may complain whereas this sort of a design may appeal to American buyers who are used to similarly styled offerings from the American Big 3. I wonder what the Lexus equivalent would look like?

-The lineup includes both V6 gasoline turbo and diesel turbo for GR-S and the highest grade ZX, and V6 gasoline turbo for VX, AX and GX.

The difference in appearance and equipment depending on the grade is that the LED headlamps are common to all cars, but the ZX has a sequential turn lamp. The grille and bumper are designed exclusively for GR-S and ZX, and the other three grades are divided into a common plated outer panel color and three faces.

　

4WD performance, which is the heart of off-road driving, has also evolved. In addition to the rear diff lock, the differential is equipped with a front diff lock as standard equipment.

The world's first E-KDSS is GR-, which controls the stabilizers of the front and rear suspensions by electronic control and changes the stabilizer effect according to the road surface condition to achieve both off-road driving performance, ride quality and safety. Equipped as standard on the S.

　The highest grade ZX is integrated with Linear Solade AVS, which electronically controls the damping force of the shock absorber according to the road surface conditions and realizes a flat ride even on cornering rolls and rough road surfaces. Uses a control system (VDIM).

the new model will no longer have 8-seater 3-row seats, and all 3-row seats will have 7-seater seats.

The second row is to switch from the conventional three-seater bench seat to a two-seater captain seat.

　The storage method for the seats in the third row has been changed from the current flip-up type to the storage method on the floor, and the luggage compartment can store five 70L carrier cases. The width of the third row seat is 990 mm and is expanded by 25 mm to realize a flat luggage space.

The "Toyota Safety Sense", a safe and secure package, comes standard

In addition, a panoramic view monitor, blind spot monitor, and intelligent clearance sonar are standard equipment on all models.

There are 6 body colors, including White Pearl Crystal Shine, Precious White, Gray Metallic, Black Metallic, Dark Red Mica Metallic, and Avant-Garde Bronze Metallic.


The price of the vehicle itself is expected to increase by about 500,000 to 1 million yen from 4,826,800 to 6,974,000 yen of the current Land Cruiser 200 to about 5.3 million to 8.5 million yen. The newly added GR-S is expected to be less than 10 million yen.

This model looks too boxy for my liking. This would only boost BMW X7 sales IMO considering the limited off roading needs in India and the VFM BMW offers !

[benbsb29]

I actually find the looks ok now, in dark shades, ofcourse. I still feel the grille is overdone at the front, but in a darker shade it doesn't stand out as much. As for the rear, the LC300 has gone the way of the Nissan Patrol with cues from the Lexus stable.

With the only question being related to the V6 twin turbo diesel, I am sure once this proves itself, this will be yet another runaway success for Toyota.

Looks like a cross of an Escalade and a Nissan Patrol. The front portion heavily inspired by the former and the rear by the latter.

The proportions, especially in white, are off. The stance too lends it an unfinished look.

Toyota Land Cruiser will celebrate its 70th anniversary on Aug 01-2021, it will also pay homage to Jeep BJ type that appeared on Aug 01-1951 ( B stands for Engine type and J for Jeep)

I really like the looks on this. Boxy but understated at the same time. The design will age well considering that this generation will probably be on sale for 10+ years.

The high gap in the wheel well that I pointed out, is seen clearly with earlier generation and appears too large. It can help in the off-road situation but will be tricky on-road.

A russian website seems to have made a better looking rendering of the LC300
