The Carsales Network will bring you our full launch review soon. In the meantime, pricing and specification details have been announced for the three-model, two-powerplant range.
The LandCruiser 200 range comprises GXL, VX (pictured) and Sahara model grades. The two powerplants (available on all grades) are an updated version of the existing 4.7-litre petrol V8 matched to a five-speed automatic transmission and Toyota's new 4.5-litre twin-turbo direct-injection diesel V8. The turbodiesel features a new six-speed automatic transmission.
Pricing kicks off with the 202kW/410Nm petrol GXL at $69,990. Next up is the VX at $79,990 and the top-of-the-range LandCruiser is the Sahara, priced at $94,990. The premium for the 195kW/650Nm turbodiesel powerplant over the petrol V8 is $10,000 at all grades.
Toyota claims the new LandCruiser is "highly specified."
"All LandCruiser 200 models have automatic transmission, full-time 4WD, 17-inch alloy wheels including spare wheel, factory climate-controlled air-conditioning with pollen filter, dual front SRS airbags, front side airbags, full-length three-row side curtain-shield airbags, second-row seat outboard seatbelt pretensioners, multi-terrain ABS (with EBD and Brake Assist), Vehicle Stability Control, Active Traction Control, Hill-start Assist Control, Smart Entry and Smart Start, second-row seatbelt anchorage height adjusters, third-row seatbelt automatic locking retractors, key reminder warning, in-glass radio antenna and rear spoiler," it says.
Digging into the specs we note the new petrol GXL features 'Crawl Control' as well as a sub fuel tank, power windows, a six-speaker audio system and dual-zone front aircon. It also gets the Australian-designed Kinetic KDSS suspension system as standard equipment.
The diesel GXL features Downhill Assist Control but the KDSS suspension is a $2500 option. The top-selling model within the range, Toyota says the GXL oiler has gained $6390 of specification against a price rise of "less than $4550" over the outgoing 100 series equivalent.
VX is next and among the upgrades over the GXL, the mid-level grade adds driver and front passenger knee airbags, second-row seat side airbags, privacy glass, remote power windows and moonroof, Lexus-style 'Optitron' instrumentation, leather seats (front power-adjustable and 40:20:40 split-fold second-row) and woodgrain trim. The KDSS suspension is standard on both engine variants.
The Sahara flagship (interior and rear pictured) further adds reversing camera, satnav, four-zone climate-controlled air, cool box, electric tilt and telescopic steering column, electric folding exterior mirrors and a headlamp cleaning system.
There is no longer a Standard Van model. The domestic duties this grade once carried out are now relegated to the LandCruiser 70 and Prado, says Toyota. It should be noted that the 70 series models feature neither ABS nor any airbags.
Look out for more details on the new LandCruiser 200 and our comprehensive launch review soon.
