2018 NEW Toyota Land Cruiser - Redesign Looks like the Toyota decided to keep the current engine, that will be implemented in the next generation Land Cruiser, as well. We’re happy to see that there will be no shrinkage in terms of power in order to “go greener” like many manufacturers do now days, but we do feel like some improvement in terms of power increase wouldn’t hurt neither. Still, there is still plenty of time, until the model is officially revealed to the public, se we might just get what we ask for. Source: toyota.com Source: toyota.com To do a quick reminder, the engine in question is a 5.7-liter turbocharged V8, capable of delivering 381 horsepower, at 5600 rpm, with a maximum torque output of 401 pounds-feet of torque, at 3600 rpm. The engine will feature variable valve timing technology in order to cut fuel consumption as much as possible. The drive configuration will be a four-wheel drive and the engine will be mated to an 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission system.

As far as the fuel economy is concerned, the Toyota Land Cruiser is not the greenest car out there, and never was. With its EPA fuel economy ratings of 13 miles per gallon in the city and 18 miles per gallon on the highway, it is one of the worst performing vehicles in terms of fuel consumption out there, despite the near 400 horsepower engine. As far as the mileage is concerned, the new Land Cruiser is able to travel 320 miles per single fuel tank in the city and 443 miles per fuel tank on the highway. The fuel tank capacity is 24.6 gallons. 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser Engine - Source: netcarshow.com 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser Engine – Source: netcarshow.com 2018 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DESIGN The 2018 Land Cruiser will come with many entertainment and safety features, such as 10-way power driver seat, 8-way power passenger seat, bucket front seats, height adjustable driver seat and passenger seat, leather upholstery, multi-level heating driver and passenger seat, ventilated passenger seat, foldable read seats with storage center armrest, rear ventilation ducts with fan control, 4 one-touch power windows, hands-free entry, heated mirrors, adaptive cruise control, front and rear door pockets, front and rear parking sensors, front, side and rear view camera, power steering, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, etc. On the outside, the new Land Cruiser looks as good as always.
