Nameplates hardly get any more prestigious than the Land Cruiser.
Toyota’s legendary SUV emerged from military prototypes used during the Korean War. And while the Land Cruiser has since evolved into one of the most luxurious vehicles on the road, it hasn’t lost its reputation for durability and reliability, even if its context is decidedly more civilian than rugged now.
The most powerful Land Cruiser ever
Estimated to ship in September, a new Land Cruiser on the way will push the envelope even further, thanks to a hybrid powertrain that makes it the most powerful, responsive and efficient SUV to ever wear the iconic nameplate.
Under the hood, the Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid boasts a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with a parallel hybrid system, bumping the combined output to a formidable 457 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque — more power than that of the diesel variant sold in several markets.
