As the current sales of LC200 approach the end of its life cycle, news about the new generation of Land Cruiser has also begun to be exposed one after another. According to the latest news, the rumor that the new generation of Land Cruiser canceled the V8 power has basically been confirmed.
This news comes from foreign media’s interview with Toyota Australia’s product planning and development director. It is learned from the interview that due to the restrictions of environmental protection and emission regulations, the new generation of Rand Cruiser will cancel the configuration of V8 power. In the current model, the top-of-the-line Land Cruiser is equipped with a 5.7L V8 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum output of 284 kilowatts.
As the main product construction point of the new-generation Land Cruiser, Toyota has listed high efficiency and reducing carbon dioxide emissions as the key to the power development of the new-generation models. Under this premise, the new generation of Land Cruiser will be equipped with V6 twin-turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines, and hybrid models will also provide V6 power as the main configuration.
It is reported that the new Land Cruiser is the LC300 series, and the new car will be officially unveiled in 2021. While the V8 may indeed be missing, at least it’s still there.
