2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Returns to Canada Starting at $69,290

After a 35-year hiatus, the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser nameplate makes a grand return to Canada, offering a blend of robust off-road capability and sophisticated on-road comfort. The 2024 Land Cruiser, starting at an MSRP of $69,290, brings with it a fresh design, cutting-edge technology, and a range of versions tailored to various tastes and requirements.

Performance and Design

Built on Toyota’s TNGA-F global truck platform, the new Land Cruiser is designed to tackle both punishing off-road trails and provide a smooth city driving experience. At the heart of each Land Cruiser lies the standard i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, producing 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. This power allows the Land Cruiser to tow up to 6,000 lbs with ease.

Off-road prowess is ensured with full-time four-wheel drive, a centre locking differential, an electronically-controlled two-speed transfer case, an electronic locking rear differential, and an automatic limited slip centre differential. Technologies such as CRAWL Control and Multi-Terrain Select further enhance the vehicle's capabilities across various terrains.

The vehicle's design pays homage to its heritage while focusing on functionality. A squared-off body, short front overhang, and lower beltline improve visibility and aesthetics, ensuring the Land Cruiser looks as good as it performs.

Cabin and Technology

Inside, the Land Cruiser offers a generous and comfortable cabin with features such as multi-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Toyota Multimedia system, standard across all models, integrates wirelessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, featuring a new interface designed to simplify interaction through touch, sight, and voice.

Safety is paramount, with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 offering a suite of active safety technologies. Additional features include a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, a backup camera, and Intuitive Parking Assist.
