The Toyota Land Cruiser, commonly referred to as "Land Cruiser," is a historically rich automobile series under the Toyota brand.

After over sixty years of development and evolution, the Land Cruiser has branched into three main series: Land Cruiser PRADO and FJ Cruiser, among others.

Since its launch in 1995, it has gained popularity due to its exceptional off-road capabilities, nimble handling, and high durability.

There is a saying that "if the Land Cruiser can't handle rough roads, no other vehicle can," highlighting its outstanding off-road performance.

The current seventh-generation Land Cruiser 200 was officially released by FAW Toyota in December 2007.

The Land Cruiser mainly comes in two versions: the domestically produced model by FAW Toyota and the Middle Eastern version imported through parallel channels. Notably, the price of the imported model is often lower than that of the domestic version.

The Toyota Land Cruiser (LAND CRUISER) is equipped with a 4.0L V6 and a 4.6L V8 naturally aspirated engine, matched with either a 5-speed or a 6-speed automatic manual transmission, standard all-time four-wheel drive system, and a Torsen differential lock, featuring a body-on-frame construction.

The current Toyota Land Cruiser (2016) measures 5170mm in length, 1975mm in width, 1930mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 2850mm.

The "Land Cruiser" is larger than the "Prado" in body size and has a longer wheelbase. Although the "Prado" has a similar structure to the "Land Cruiser," it leans more towards the urban SUV style, with a shorter wheelbase and lower engine displacement and off-road configuration compared to the "Land Cruiser."
