In a few days, Toyota will present the new generation of its Land Cruiser SUV, and predictions have already begun as to what it might look like. The automotive magazine Kolesa has published its renderings based on available photos.
The new generation is inspired by the FJ62 model from the late eighties of the last century. The new Land Cruiser has a slightly different front end with rectangular headlights and simple side fenders, the windows look big and there’s a prominent roof rack.
The interior is still unknown. Only one photo has surfaced showing a toggle switch to select between high and low gears and a medium setting for the H4L, presumably referring to high gears with a locked differential.
When it comes to the powertrain, there is no information there either. There are many speculations, and some say that it will be based on Toyota’s GA-F platform (body-on-frame). The same platform is used by the Lexus GX, which is powered by a 3.4-liter V6 twin-turbo engine with 349 hp (257 kW) and 479 lb-ft (649 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission with a Torsen limited-slip differential.
