The long-awaited Toyota Land Cruiser makes its comeback in Canada with the release of its 2024 model, scheduled for August 1st. Disappeared from the Canadian market several years ago, the Land Cruiser returns with a redesigned proposition to appeal to a new generation of adventure and freedom enthusiasts.
The history of the Land Cruiser in Canada
The Toyota Land Cruiser has a long history in Canada. First launched in the 1950s, this rugged, reliable off-road vehicle quickly became an icon of the automotive industry. Its popularity grew thanks to its ability to navigate any terrain and withstand the harshest weather conditions Canada has to offer.
However, despite its popularity, the Land Cruiser was withdrawn from the Canadian market a few years ago, leaving a void in the luxury all-terrain vehicle segment. This withdrawal left many Land Cruiser enthusiasts disappointed and eager for its eventual return.
What can we expect from the new model?
So, what does the new Land Cruiser 2024 have to offer? Although specific details are not yet available, the new Land Cruiser is expected to retain its legendary ruggedness and reliability, while incorporating modern technologies to enhance comfort, performance and safety.
It is likely that the Land Cruiser 2024 will be equipped with the powerful iForce MAX Hybrid engine, which combines a 3.4-liter V6 with an electric motor. This engine is shared with the Tundra and Toyota Sequoia, and offers an exceptional 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, it also offers impressive fuel economy and towing power. Without knowing the exact towing capacity of the new Land Cruiser, we can expect it to offer the same capacity as the Sequoia at 9,000 lbs, or even more. The Land Cruiser will also feature a high-performance all-wheel drive system capable of navigating any terrain. The interior, meanwhile, should offer luxury comfort, with leather seats, a latest-generation Toyota Multimedia system and a range of driving aids.
What does this mean for consumers?
The return of the Toyota Land Cruiser to Canada is great news for fans of this iconic vehicle. Not only will they have the chance to drive a Land Cruiser again, but they will also be able to benefit from the technological improvements and driving comfort that the 2024 model is expected to bring. The Land Cruiser will undoubtedly be Toyota's flagship SUV, and should stand head and shoulders above the Sequoia.
What's more, the 2024 Land Cruiser will have plenty of interior space, which has always been the case. In reality, the Land Cruiser will probably combine the off-road capabilities of the 4Runner with the versatility and luxury of the Sequoia, but with a little more refinement. It's hard not to like this combination!
All in all, the return of the Toyota Land Cruiser is an exciting opportunity for Canadian consumers. With its release scheduled for August 1, off-road adventure enthusiasts won't have long to wait to discover what the new Land Cruiser has to offer.
