With a reputation for being a capable and reliable off-roader, the Toyota Land Cruiser easily finds its place among toughest competitors such as Lexus LX, Infiniti QX80, Cadillac Escalade, and Range Rover Velar. It is a full-size SUV which is at the same time a rugged adventurer and a comfortable hauler. The current, 2018 model year has debuted majorly unchanged since the Land Cruiser has gained a complete makeover in 2016. So, it has gotten a key-activated swing-away exterior mirrors and the previously standard rear-seat entertainment system now comes as an optional feature. The 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser is also announced for the production. But we assume that it will probably arrive with no major changes. However, it might get some new features or rearrangement among standard and optional equipment.
The Land Cruiser will use the same V-8 engine which is strong but it will lack in fuel efficiency. As well, it will use the same body-on-frame construction and will have excellent towing capacities. Furthermore, it is very spacious and it can carry up to eight passengers. In addition to this, the Land Cruiser comes with a long list of standard equipment.
