Toyota released the national Land Cruiser

C each new generation Land Cruiser SUV has become glamorous and comfortable. This is normal - this is the fate of the vast majority of today's large SUVs. But Toyota did not forget about the roots of his legendary "rogue", while continuing to produce the utilitarian version of all-wheel drive flagship. The most urgent today - Land Cruiser GX.
Unfortunately, this version is declared only for the Australian market (by the way, there is still the good old sold "semidesyatka"), and we can only envy the residents of Green continent. See for yourself: a normal Land Cruiser has received factory snorkel to overcome water obstacles, swing rear doors (they conveniently hang "spare tire" non-standard size), steel 17-inch wheels and an additional fuel tank (45 liters in addition to the main volume of 93 l) to trips into the wilderness.





Bottom body and units covered more reliably protecting the factory and in the interior of the bed easily washable vinyl mats. The mechanical part consists of 4 diesel, 5-liter turbo V8 with 265 forces of power and 650 N ∙ m of torque, six-speed "automatic" step-down next to the transfer case and all-wheel drive with limited slip center differential.



Toyota has positioned itself as the version of GX car for those who do not just ride, and uses it in full and torturing in non-standard conditions. Thus prepared off-road vehicle will cost Australians even cheaper standard - 78 thousand. Australian dollars (roughly equal to the US dollar) against the 87, 7 thousand. Previous "hundredth" toyotovskogo generation SUV also had Spartan modification. It was called LandCruiser 105 and is, in fact, "vosmidesyatki" with a body LandCruiser 100. However, the differences between the versions of 105 and 100 was greater than that of the modern with the base GX GXL: base "vosmidesyatki" meant the circuit with two bridges instead of an independent suspension front and rear axle.
