The brand-new 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser will introduce a couple of exciting changes. It is an impressive SUV in every possible way. It comes with serious off-road ability and it posses a potent engine option. Moreover, Land Cruiser is a comfortable SUV that offers a plush ride. Furthermore, the interior is spacious and very well-equipped.
New Heritage Edition is also an attractive model. It drops the third row, and it comes with unique 18-inch wheels. However, Heritage will be sold in limited numbers. As for the performance, the 2020 Land Cruiser comes with a firm but thirsty V8 engine. Fuel efficiency is perhaps the biggest issue for Toyota.
Exterior Facelift
The upcoming 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser will continue to look rugged and aggressive. However, each year, this SUV gets a couple of elegant upgrades. To be honest, Land Cruiser is not an SUV for everyone. Whatsoever, it comes with a high stance, shorter overhangs and plenty of curves. Toyota made this model for serious drivers who are into “four-wheeling.” For the very same reason, shorter bumpers and additional ground clearance are explained.
Land Cruiser comes with standard running boards, but those boards are ruining an overall look of the SUV. The front end sports a massive chrome grille and LED headlights. The rear fascia comes with a cool tailgate system and additional aggressiveness. For 2020, Toyota won’t introduce such a major upgrade. Whatsoever, this truck-based SUV will get new optional features and subtle cosmetic refreshments.
Interior Features
The interior of the 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser has so much to offer. Don’t get us wrong here, this is still far from a real level of luxury. Still, the dash hosts a large 9-inch touchscreen and soft leather upholstery. However, only the first two rows of seats are available with leather materials. The seats, especially the front ones are offering numerous power-adjustable and heating options.
The second row offers solid legroom, and it is recommendable for two passengers rather than three. A rear-seat entertainment system is optional, and it comes with individual screens. The third row is standard on the base Land Cruiser. However, a new Heritage Edition drops the third row. As for the cargo area, 82 cubic feet sounds impressive.
2020 Land Cruiser Heritage Edition
At least Toyota surprised us with something new. The 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition is available as well. It won’t come cheap, but it will be amazing. Heritage model is available in Blizzard White Pearl and Midnight Black exterior paints. This specific model comes with no running boards or center console.
Whatsoever, even the third row is not available. As a result, Heritage offers 18-inch forged BBS wheels finished in bronze and unique roof basket. The interior is available with special black leather seats and bronze contract stitching. Land Cruiser Heritage adds a retro vibe with unique styling and badges.
Engine Specs
The approaching 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser is using a 5.7-liter V8. Nothing will change in terms of performance, and Heritage Edition will use the same powerplant. This output is rated at 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque.
It comes with the 8-speed automatic transmission and acceleration is impressive. However, fuel efficiency is terrible. Land Cruiser is one of the thirstiest SUVs in the markets. Its 5.7-liter V8 delivers only 13 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway.
2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Price and Release Date
Toyota’s newest SUV will arrive with the price of the current model, which starts at $85,500. New Heritage Edition will cost a couple of thousand more. However, exact pricing details are not available yet. The forthcoming 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser will go on sale before the end of 2019.
