2024 Toyota Land Cruiser to be unveiled on August 1st
One of the bigger stories of the summer is the return of the Toyota Land Cruiser for 2024. This mythical model has only been absent from the American market for two years, but we haven't seen it here since 1996, even though a close cousin was marketed by Lexus under the GX nameplate.
We won't have to wait much longer to see the new model - Toyota has confirmed the big unveiling will take place on August 1st, one week from today. The model will be presented in the evening, at 9:20 p.m. . 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Photo: Toyota To add a little spice to its announcement, Toyota shared an image showing part of the front end. The squared-off design confirms that the Land Cruiser will continue be a close relative of the recently unveiled new Lexus GX. What remains to be determined and confirmed are the powertrains that will serve the model. Some reports circulating over the past few weeks suggest the use of 4-cylinder blocks only, but the GX offers a 3.4L turbo V6.
Toyota's new vehicles also rely on a 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder, including with the Highlander and Grand Highlander models and the new-generation Tacoma pickup. In the latter case, power will be increased to 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque; this could also serve the Land Cruiser well, especially if the company wants the GX to benefit from mechanical exclusivities. What we can expect, however, is a multitude of versions, many of them designed for off-road driving.
