Land Cruiser

Its combination of impressive off-road ability and on-road comfort is majestic.

As ever, the Toyota Land Cruiser is a large SUV on a traditional body-on-frame design. We’ve expressed admiration for the greatly improved on-road performance and composure of the current Toyota Land Cruiser, as well as its improved fuel economy and sumptuous accommodations.

Hands down, a vehicle that has staked its reputation on superior off-road performance
