2024 Toyota Land Cruiser: Historic Price Drop Unveiled!
by AutoExpert | 22 February, 2024
According to official news from the carmakers, the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser will start at 57.345 USD. This price includes the base MSRP of 55.950 USD alongside a fee destination of 1.395 USD.
This decrease is big-time news for an era where corporations constantly shoot up their prices due to the “inflation”.
Actually, prices for the Land Cruiser haven’t been this low for around 20 years, when the 2005 100-series started at 55.325 USD. But the hardcore off-roader grew in size and luxury items - much to the disappointment of big-time four-wheeling enthusiasts who prefer a “no-fluff” on their platforms. The last sold Land Cruiser before the three-year break, was the 2021 200-series for 86.880 USD. That's a big price cut of nearly 30.000 USD.
However, the Land Cruiser does not have the third row or the V8 anymore.
The vehicle is powered by the new turbocharged 4-cylinder with a hybrid electric system that produces 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. The power is nearly as good as V8’s 380 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, although the towing capacity went down from 8.100 pounds to 6.000 pounds. Making up for it is the EPA-estimated mixed fuel economy rating of 23 mpg versus the old one's 14.
The 2024 model benefits from new high-tech features as well. And it’s not just about the new safety kit, such as the standard pre-collision braking with pedestrian detection, radar cruise control, and lane tracing assistance.
The new technology, in this case, includes useful equipment like a front stabilizer bar disconnection mechanism, low-speed crawl control with five selectable speeds, and standard center and rear locking diffs.
The SUV will come in two grades, with the 1958 Land Cruiser as the base. (Land Cruiser is one of the oldest Toyota nameplates, since 1958 in the USA and in Japan.) The upgraded trim, named simply Land Cruiser, will offer more comfort. And there will be limited First Edition models.
With a more affordable price, Land Cruiser should take its place back as the off-road truck that breaks trails.
