Toyota launches Fully Redesigned Land Cruiser with world’s first crawl control system


Toyota announced nowadays the launch in Japan of the completely redesigned Land Cruiser full-size, top-of-the-line SUV. The new Toyota Land Cruiser, designed under the theme “The King of Four-Wheel Drives”, features a new platform and suspension, 4.7-liter V8 engine with VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) and new technologies that enhance all-around driving performance. The world’s first crawl control system is standard on all models. When driving on surfaces that require fragile speed adjustments such as on rocks or sand and on steep hills, the engine and brakes are automatically controlled to preserve a very low speed, play down wheel spinning and locking, and supply

outstanding vehicle stability. The 5 Super ECT (Super Intelligent, Electronically-controlled, Five-speed self-moving Transmission) Sequential Shiftmatic transmission allows the driver to enjoy a manual-transmission-like sensation.

In addition, VSC (Vehicle Stability Control), SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) side and curtain shield airbags and a newly developed Active Headrest—all standard—combine with an optional advanced Pre-crash Safety System to accomplish safety performance at the highest levels in its course. The Fully Redesigned Toyota Land Cruiser is available in Japan from 4,700,000 Yen ($40,800).
