Hey thomas I wanna ask about a video that you uploaded and then removed, I'm talking about the FERRARI PUROSANGUE, I think the car was in blue color. May I ask why you removed it?. I liked that video a lot more than the other video where you review the car in the snow. Thank you for clarifying.
Hybrids are stupid, hard pass. Needs to be either a 100% EV or Diesel in the USA
Land Cruise is used for rescruer, War zone, and all kinds of applications when the environment is like hell. Hybrid is very smart and well proven technology, reliable, and efficient. More durable than any Turbo gasoline engines and any diesel post 2008 with complicated expensive emission systems. All way with hybrid if possible. Toyota with NiMh battery and hybrid technology since 1998. EV is stupid for such applications. We still need heat generator (ICE) and long range. Any EV will dropped the range as much as 40% in cold weather. But not hybrid.
Amazing❤❤❤❤my love👌👌🤩🤩my drean❤❤😍😍👌👌
Leather is disgusting, why people still opt to sit over dead animal skin is troublesome. Toyota is still way late to the new energy game, the Leopard 5 will leave this Prado in the dust: this Toyota is a hybrid with a foolish electric motor and a 1.87kWh battery. Why in this world is not Toyota making this as a PHEV run by two electric motors and an efficient smaller ICE range extender could only be attributed to their undeniable wish to sell lots of fossil fuels.
I really feel like Toyota have knocked it out of the park with this one. It looks fantastic and if it is even better than previous models both on and off road, sounds like a win-win all around.
This is what's pop out when you stuff the Land Rover, Jeep, Range Rover design into an AI. Toyota, as usual, did absolutely nothing design vise.
@@humushumus2219 🤦🏼
😂@@humushumus2219
@@humushumus2219 Keep hating, loser; probably it helps you to have a nice sleep. I also feel sorry that Toyota didn't hire a genius designer like you.
wow, finally toyota made a car that is nice to look at. this robust and classic exterior is awesome.
Don't forget the new Prius. Toyota just like kia and Hyundai, really stepping up in terms of design
New Land Cruiser looks great! Looking forward to seeing the 2025 redesigned 4runner! 🤞🤞
Its not robust at all ! Just look how much electronics are squeezed into this luxury family hauler
@@mohnnadmercedes8246Toyota have never had a problem making reliable electronics. Don't confuse this with the German or British marques.
@@mohnnadmercedes8246 I don't recall hearing about Toyotas having electrical problems, unlike certain "luxury" brands
I have already booked this car here in Melbourne, Australia. Releasing in Australia mid 2024.
A ton of people are going to retrofit those circle headlights. They look soo much better than the Lego lights on the other trim
I have always love older Land Cruiser & IMO this is perfect because it mixed old looks with new technology!
The retro look brings back memories. My family lived in South America in 1970s , the standard executive car for the company were Toyota LandCrusiers and VW Beetles ( they wouldn’t over heat in 42 Celsius temps) and Landcruisers would never get stuck in unpaved muddy roads . My family’s other car was. Mercedes from those years also built like a tank . I currently own a Toyota 4 Runner which is a Japanese Tank , can’t wait to see the Lexus version of this new Land Cruiser. When we came back to the US , my dad missed his Beetle so much .. he bought a Porsche 911 .. honestly not as indestructible as the Beetle
Thanks for sharing!
Don’t worry about the stabilizizers. Your videos are very well done. I would say one of the most professional car review channels. 🇨🇦
Impressed you made the effort to match your outfit with the J250 colours. Thanks Thomas, thorough review as always.
Great presentation, never thought such a vehicle would make me more excited than modern "sports cars"! Awesome looks
I love the circular headlights 😊 sweet vehicle to look at!!
Thomas is on fire these days 🔥 We like!!😃 Great reviews!
in your service!
Scorching, indeed!😁
at your service Tom 😉@@autogefuehl
Toyota has hit the target 🎯 what brilliant modern retro style we have been waiting for. So glad Toyota did not follow other OEM with touch screens, good old push buttons for practicality. Beauty with reliability ❤ 🇬🇧
A good reason to buy a 7 seater is having 3 kids requiring kid seats. The presence of isofix in the 3rd row is thus important. It doesn't look like it has bu would be good if reviewers mention this.
My mom used to have an '01 land cruiser and this reminds a lot of that and it makes me nostalgic
wow bro thank you for doing this, i was waiting for you guys to do this :D
Very good interior & exterior reviews. This video allows viewers to see (and experience) what the new Land Cruizer Prado is all about! Very functional LC that will leave up to its heritage.
Thomas does the best reviews!😊
0:27 Thomas perfectly co-ordinated with the car's colours, again! 🤗 This man has style. 5:44 The Japanese are just so sensible with their separate A/C controls. Bravo.
In love with this car.
It looks like a big Jimny ❤
Great review again !!
wow, 2 of my all-time favourites back-2-back ! Of cars I've had, J120 left biggest impression - so completely fit for purpose......J250 with styling to match.
You know, for what it is as a highly capable off-road machine, I think the styling and features are fantastic and can’t wait to see it in person!!! Thanks Thomas!
Great review buddy good job.
Looks really good inside and out. I can imagine myself driving in Arizona to the Grand Canyon in this 😉
I really want this car. Can't wait for the full driving review
I love the style, content and production quality of your videos Thomas. 👍🏻😀
Great review Thomas. When I started the video I thought it was very much like a new Defender. The Land Cruiser Prado's are very popular here in Australia and I think they will be even more so with their new design.
Absolutely love this, fancy the higher spec version next year potentially.
Actually more interesting looking than a Defender. Much better executed “return to old form” than the Defender
Looks awesome
Been waiting for it for a long time. And what better channel then yours. 😉😎
Nice work. This is the car I’m waiting for.
Love what Toyota have done. Can not wait to get my hands on.
Another enjoyable review Thomas!
Very clean design. Is there a way to remove the front lettering on the grill? Also, why did they go with a screen for the gauge dials?
Great Thomas gets the newest cars first. Thank you ,and the team.
This is the car I have been waiting for! So very cool design, and will run forever. Can't wait to see the non-First Edition models coming out, as this is not my cup of tea. Great, great review once again, Thomas! I have been watching your videos almost since the beginning, and it's so amazing to see the progress and your enthusiasm evolving. Thank you for the ever-so interesting content and keep up the great work! Greetings from Finland!
Not so fast….this is old Toyota, this is new Toyota.
better get a second or third job to cover that dealer markup.... @@donaldchee
Well, i wouldn't expect that 2.8 diesel to run forever.
@@mar7739 it’s the same diesel engine used in previous gen and it’s incredibly reliable and long-living with proper driving and maintenance.
No, it isn't, sorry.@@Nordheide
Beautiful car and pretty color.
That toy car is a nice touch. Landcruiser is such a legendary car. Hope to see it soon on UK roads.
Lovely vehicle and really like the design and styling. Made me laugh you trying out the far rear seats!
The outfit coordination is amazing today.
Hope Thomas review the Land Cruiser LC300 version. Nice video.
Pretty cool! Thanks Thomas!
This pretty much ticks every box. Better looking than the defender and g wagon and most likely as good or better off road. Love the retro design elements mixing old with new. This might end up being toyotas best selling car. I will definitely be getting one the next time I change and it will be my first toyota.
But they should clarify their land cruiser line-up... Because if you go to a toyota dealer in south africa for example, a land cruiser could be 10 completely different cars... There's the 76 series, this new one, the prado, the v8 supersport... It's very messy
@@bringbacktheolddislike305 Depending on the market, names are altered. If you think this is messy, take a look at how the Nissan Sunny/Versa changes names in different markets, and if you look into previous generations, you're in an actual mess.
Better looking than the Defender? Not even close. Side aspect is 1970s Morris Marina. Horrible.
@@miyahtallulahthe new defender is meh
Defender got far better looking as classic than this one.
Brilliant design!
Wow! I would take one 100% on this spec and color!!
This has been one of your most correct matching outfits. I love this color on Toyota trucks.
I like it very much, back to past kind of design 😉😊
Looking forward to buy the square headlight version! Nice review!
I currently cruise through Europe with my dog in a Seat Ateca. This is definitely high up there as an awesome replacement to aim for in the future.
Toyota nailed it with this one, and it'll be another product to sell like hot cakes. For those who want the old Defender's ruggedness but don't wanna take risks with a product from a brand-new company (Ineos Grenadier, though I like it a lot) or don't wanna go with a higher budget (Merc), this may be the "go-to" for them. Thanks for the video once again, Thomas. You always deliver the information perfectly and straight to the point!
People who can afford Mercs and JLR won't buy this. People with less money, will. Excellent car. Excellent reliability. Zero style. Zero prestige.
At 6:40 it looks like you can't engage low range with open central diff? In other images of Land Cruiser 250 it apeared another 4x4 set up console. Can anyone please clear this aspect, because this would make a huge difference!
@@miyahtallulah Zero style and prestige? Like your brain?
Hello from Canada, this looks really good but happened to your 2 door Land Cruiser? 🤔We were so jealous of Europe's access to a more compact 2 door Toyota 4X4.
Stylish off-road vehicle,thank You for the review 🎉
Beautiful indeed.❤ nice work Toyota
Like the retro look, colour and leather seats 😊. This variant can easily sell along side the current Prado variant. Greetings from Mzansi 🇿🇦
It looks partially (at least) inspired by the new defender and I love it!
yeah but the defender is exponentially uglier
Always loved FJ. Good to see a ripened version of it under Land Cruiser label. Waiting for black colour!
Nice review. Really like the (re-) design of the Land Cruiser 👍
Probably the best 4 x4 for the real world... Basically it'll go anywhere and last forever
I think the exterior styling of this is quite nice. The crisp angles all over really convey the ruggedness and off-road capabilities. Design of the front and rear lights is pretty good (with the exception of that tiny turn signa at the rear). The interior looks a bit cheaper than I would've hoped for a car that will probably be quite expensive. It just looks very plastic-y, whereas in many of the previous gens of the LC, it was quite luxurious for a capable truck. All of the physical buttons are nice, though, and the rectangular overlapping dash elements are a nice and unique design touch. The all-digital instruments are disappointing. Responsiveness of the central screen looks very nicely responsive, though. And yes, I also prefer fixed rear floor mats, but hopefully they know what they're doing. I have to say that the third row being typical fold down seats instead of the sideways-folding seats like the old LCs is a little sad, although these are of course much more practical. I'm now very curious what the bigger version looks like and how it's different than this one.
well i think i heard that this model will be cheaper
It would be nice of you measured the length of the whole cargo area to see if it is long enough to put down the seats and sleep in the back.
My favorite car reviewer on KZhead! Thank you! Cheers from Orange County, California USA! Alles Gute!
Like the design. Like all the improvements. Worthy updates on the Prado. Pity about the engines. I would have expected a competition to the Ford Everest V6 (also VW Amarok). A nice V6 diesel would have been great. I assume it would have put it against the LC 300. Great review, great car.
Thanks for a great review and a great tool, nice presentation. When I buy this vehicle, the first thing I will do is take the spare tire out of its slot at the bottom, buy a nice cover and put it in, instead of buying the 7-seater version, I will buy the 5-seater version and when I go long distances, maybe if I have room in the trunk, I will keep the spare tires in the trunk of the vehicle. When they are on the bottom, it is not very practical to use and they get very dirty.
An awesome retro-like design , good looking car
Stunning!
I actually like the round headlights more than the triple beam.
Love almost everything about this. Its got hints of the FJ and looks like they took some inspiration from the new Bronco too. The only thing I really hate is that they got rid of the electric sliding back window. The pop-up one is just inferior in terms of functionality. Its probably one of my favorite features on my 4Runner.
Really in dusty and muddy, cold conditions, like Mongolia. That’s always break. Very rarely used
Beautiful. thank you Toyota for the nice shape and design
I like what Toyota has done to this vehicle design wise it's more than acceptable I like it. Good review Thomas 👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great review. It's very rare to hear reviewers mentioning that the Prado is sold in Africa other than just mentioning Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. I'm from Kenya and the Prado is a status symbol, hugely popular on our roads. The popularity and association with Government agencies, politicians and bisiness people has made it the dream car for most people. So, next time it would be great to hear reviewers, especially from Europe and America, mention Africa as markets for vehicles like this one. Thank you.
Same thing here in Gabon.
I just got back from Morocco (Fes) and couldn't believe how many Range Rovers I saw out there, more than Prados I think. Very surprised to say the least!
Prados are incredibly popular in Australia too.There was some concern they might not be as long lasting as the bigger Landcruisers but we are seeing some clock up over 500,000km with no major problems.A saw one that had done 950,000 km.A friend has one that has done 330,000 km including towing and it still feels and looks almost new.
Love the design. I thinks it can hold for decades. And touch/physical controls proportion on point. Previous gen now looks like it's from early 2000
The model with the round headlights is the *1958* (year LC was launched).
Looks crazy nice
These are going to be impossible to actually get.
Marked up like crazy.
Fucking dealers 😡
Awesome car! Love it!
What is the volume of the trunk in liters? In the 5 seater configuration? 500 Liters? 600 Liters?
As a happy 2020 Land Rover Defender owner, I must say this looks strikingly similar in many places. I do also see Bronco in there. I don’t really see Land Cruiser, but we’re really just comparing boxes on wheels at the end of the day. Lovely review as always guys!
Land cruiser FJ62 is there.
Sell it before it break down 🤣
Look at older Land Cruisers and you'll see the similarities
@@chileshemubanga3594 I researched the FJ62 and I do agree with you. After seeing that, I do see a mash up of the current Defender and the FJ62. Either way, I think it’s a cool design. I’d happily have this new Land Cruiser, alongside my Defender. That’d be a nice problem to have
another land rover fanboy that has buyer's remorse is making it about themselves when they see a better vehicle than a land rover, which is basically almost every car in existence 😂😂😂
In general, I think Toyota's design team is doing some good stuff. They hit a home run with the RAV4, and then hit it out of the park with the Grand Highlander. This Land Cruiser is another great design. Not quite perfected yet maybe, but give it a couple of years and a transition to the solid state batteries, and it should be at it's best. I really like these three models.
Does this design language of Land Cruiser looks familiar to you??
@@Aristotlein21stcentury what are you trying to suggest? Similar to the Defender? Nah I disagree they had the Landcruiser FJ from years back.
@@lettuce1305 may be but see the headlamp rings are have a cut on the upper side. Of course the land cruiser has its own styling but I feel inspiration was the defender.
What a beautiful retro design. This the suv design i was waiting for. Thank you so much toyota.
Can we get the measurement for the height of the cargo area?
I really wished that Toyota offered that 2.8L Turbo Diesel here in the States...
That particular engine is lit 👑
But Murica hates diesel.
@@destroyedsoul1791 America doesn't hate diesel. Liberal politicians hate diesel..
Diesel is sh1t. A four cylinder diesel is noisy, dirty and expensive to maintain. Nothing to do with silly USA politics
@@mark-ge8dr Toyota's diesels are amazing little engines. I don't know what you are talking about..
Great job, Toyota.
you must huff glue....
This looks awesome.
What is the measurement from the floor to the ceiling? How about rear to back of 2nd row of seat when collapsed and folded forward?
Looks very cool. Great vid, thanks for showing us the cabin details. However, why can't Europe have the option of the USA engine (4-cylinder petrol turbo hybrid)? It has 325ps and 630Nm, and compared to the turbodiesel it will probably have better L/100km and emissions. It complies with Euro6/7 because in essence it's the engine from the Lexus RX500h, which is on sale in Europe. Why is Toyota not giving us the most efficient engine? 🤔
There will be a hybrid available later on
Yes, but it will be a mild hybrid turbodiesel. Which will also be thirsty and lack power compared to the turbo petrol ‘full hybrid’.
The Toyota Prado still has useless boot space with 7 seats up, yet I love it anyway. I hope they produce a version that carries the spare tyre at the back. For the overlanding community and here in Africa its very important that we can install long range tanks underneath
I wonder how popular the 5 seater will be. Personally i never have enough people in a car with me to warrant 7 seats so having extra boot space/storage would be far more practical.
Great presentation Thomas
I really like this new one Thomas , I Love the colour 🙏🙏💯💯
The leather on the seats looks a bit nasty but the car itself looks great 👍👍
Has FJ Cruiser vibes.
You're the best Thomas
Super cool retro design.
Nice car, I like the design both inside and outside to, but as for the engine for European market I think a 3 liter V6 diesel would be better for such a big car, especially if you want to tow more than 2,5 ton. As for the review, good job Thomas, as always! We like Autogefühl !!! Greetings from Hungary and Transilvania! 👏👏👏
really excited for the 2.8 1GD turbo diesel hybrid with the 8 speed auto.
A proper V6 Diesel for Europe would be a wet dream
Diesel is the reason why they are so great and why everyone prefers them
Would love that Thomas shows this car to the German car makers how they should build their cars...THE LONG TERM QUALITY AND REALIABILITY part..😂😂😂 Sorry but that is the first thing that comes to write 😂
I'm not a 4WD person at all, but that is a nice bit of kit. Plus we know down here in 🇦🇺🦘, Toyota 4WDs take our harsh outback conditions. Well done Toyota. 👍
Very nice video!!! I'm not a Toyota guy but from this review I like the new land cruiser very much.
👍
Wish they had the V6 engine option also then to me it would be phenomenal.
