The time has come for Mat to get his hands on the all-new Toyota Land Cruiser!
He’ll be testing out this all-new 4x4 both on & off-road to see if it has what it takes to compete with class leaders like the Suzuki Jimny & Mercedes G-Class! So let’s take a closer look…
Starting with the design, the Land Cruiser looks seriously rugged on the outside. It rolls up with a boxy-style design, coupled with a huge rear bumper and massive windows along the side and back to help let loads of light in. As you’d expect with a proper 4x4 it also comes with roof bars as well as running boards along the side, while up from the grille design harks back to the classic Land Cruiser design. It looks great!
Step inside and there’ll be no mistaking that you’re in a Land Cruiser. The dash design mirrors the chunky looks of the exterior, and there’s even padding on the centre console so you don’t damage your knees when off-roading! There’s a fair bit of scratchy plastics throughout the place, but that can be forgiven because there are SO many physical buttons! Almost everything is controlled with a button rather than through the infotainment screen - just like the old days! The infotainment system itself is ok, and there are also digital dials for the driver, too.
There’s only one engine available for the Land Cruiser - it’s a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel that can produce 204hp and 500Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
We don’t know the price of the Land Cruiser yet, but we expect it to cost in the region of £55,000 - £60,000. So is it worth it? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!

It costs only ~30k USD and has a lot of premium stuff already included.
Its like a land rover defender just 6times cheaper and way cooler with way more features.
The sand coloured vehicle has round headlights. Will that be an option?
Wut? I ain’t sell my car for free
We’re international
Ask Toyota about a short wheel base version.
Hats off to Toyota for keeping the physical buttons and for using conventional engine.
A slow uneconomical relic of an engine. its 2024.
Because they're left behind in EV game. They're still profiting from ICE and hybrid spareparts and service. The whole system in Japan is corrupt from mafia, suppliers, to company officials
@@robert7622 A Land Cruiser will always be slow. Its a massive, rough car. Made for everything. You need a real engine. Not an engine, which is made for Chelsea.
@@robert7622 like you ever driven in 5 th /6th gear.
Basically Toyota managed to make it almost worse in every way to the old model, (looks cramped, plasticky, slow & uneconomical)
They will no doubt be tough and reliable, but for $80k usd, it needs to be better.
Unfortunately they will still sell millions of them based on the old cars reputation.
In love with the interior, all those knobs, buttons, dials, all of them physical. No capacitive BS, no high-gloss piano black. YESSS.
Guess you need new eyes. There is glossy black all over the interior.

I think they nailed it. Nobody buys a land cruiser for it to be quick or refined. It’s knowing if crap hits the fan you’ll be home for dinner.
How precisely put 👍🏻😀
and if it gets dirty - wipe it off.
The price though...
It resembles a LandRover Defender.
32:36 THis whole scene had my DYING. The cut from Lewis's face to Mat suddenly in the driving seat LMAO😂
It's got me too😂😂😂
He did Lewis bad😂😂😂
Mat, the only type of guy wearing some muddy hiking shoes while presenting the latest saloon in the middle of the city, but putting white sneakers on an offroad trip.
i noticed that immediately mud dirt but shoes still white?😂
any idea what the model of nike shoe he wearing ?
"Cheaper Feeling" Toyota Plastic will last longer than leather or soft stuff in hot and humid weather. I'm in Australia and this Model, most likely to be called the "Land Cruiser Prado" will sell like hotcakes here.
Love your work MatWatson. Should we start a CarWow Australia Channell?
Ong bruh, them afghanis and shit be havin wet dreams about them
Here in America, we've been robbed of the Prado for a while now, only as the Lexus GX- which we still get, but now we get this one too! Oddly, though, like the UK, its just gonna be called "Land Cruiser"
The Lexus LX is now the equivalent to the big boy Land Cruiser here.
God bless America.
nah people will always whine about lack of V8! lol
@@rhoelg even I'll admit it's a little annoying to pay the same or more for less engine with a cheaper way of getting horsepower at the cost of longevity
It will absolutely sell, but that's based on the old cars reputation.
This honestly doesn't move the game at all compared to the last model, there's really no area other than looks where its better, and for no doubt $120k aud or more, it needs to do better.
It's unfortunate that it will sell plenty.
I love Land Cruiser. We have a 2008 model one with V6 engine, and until today, it is amazing with zero problems. This car is a lifetime car.
LC120 with 4.0 v6 engine?
@@andyxu48424.0 is a V8
Thank you for a lovely review. The tailgate should have been a split with lower and upper. It is an unbelievable useful feature that is extremely practical when overlanding and road tripping.
"Glove compatible interface" is a weird way to say "we didn't go stupid with capacitive buttons like most cars"
It's not, many of those real offroaders will be used in harsh conditions in cold weather where it's a big advantage when you can use all the functions with your gloves on, especially when you have to get in and out a lot. Normal SUV's don't really need it.
@@binskee677 🤓
@@binskee677but Subaru 360 literally needed it.
The glove thing is a big one in North America. Especially where I am when it's -40 😄
They really tried to make it look like a Disco 4.
There’s a big difference between supposed “cheap” feeling materials, and those that are designed to last, which is a known quantity in Toyotas in general, but especially their 4WDs.
Corrent, even within Toyota's own factories.. All the soft touch Toyota/Lexus dashboards are falling apart and the scratchy plastic ones are still perfect
reliability isn’t everything
@@PrettyNormalPerson A Land Rover or BMW Owner has entered the Room. Good luck with that. 😂
@@sheamuscoe1492 nahh man I have inadequate funds for even owning a honda
@@PrettyNormalPerson Fair enough mate. I had a friend in the 80s that owned an Alfetta GTV, and I wanted one so bad, but watching his continuous heartbreak over the years turned me off the more unreliable, but desirable stuff out there. I’ve had a few little Hondas, and they took a real beating, living their life bumping off the Redline, but I couldn’t kill them. 😅
i have a hilux current model and i was amazed by it´s driving in very dificult terrains being the switch to 4x4 low or high just like a sofage knob not nothing else needed , this will be my next all terrain vehicule
Round vs square headlights. In pictures I liked the round ones, but in this video in motion, the square headlights look amazing
My grandma not caring what so ever about the car but glad to give Matt a sweet answer 😮💨😮💨
Well very interesting.😅
Scottish warmth
You were cute, except the nose ring of course. 😄
@@mediocreman2 name checks out LOL
My next SUV. Was thinking of the Defender 130 but reliability is my main concern. Can't get more reliable than a Toyota.
Thinking same
Thought you were looking at the Tesla CyberFridge?
Also new defenders are garbage offroad they get stuck on wet grass the heffers
@@volvo24091man that thing got battered offroad by a car while its wheeltrims fell off. Thats embarrassing for Elon that and its eaily damaged so no idea what that thing was all about
Defender same level of reliability as BMW since they use same parts . BMW fall apart so you know
Looks so good. Keeps the no nonsense with the materials, tactile buttons and switches. It just works so well. Gonna go with the GX OT in time though for the luxury.
As usual fantastic vehicle test from Mat! Love the brake tests, something no one else dose but I love to see them !
sarah n tuned channel always does them in her reviews.
Japanese reliability and honesty towards their products is far superior to the unreliability and planned obsolescence of the Land Rover, or any other British automotive brand
And yet Land Rover seems to always cross your mind, like many others. Living rent free in your head. I wonder why..
But if you’re buying brand-new what difference does it make all the new vehicles are reliable up to 3 years old and if they’re not they fix them for free and you get a brilliant courtesy car that’ll be the best part 75 grand with a few extras, 200 hp 0 to 60 and 10 seconds and a cheap Horrible plastic inside. Give me a range Rover any day yes they are reliable and good off road fuck me they should’ve put a better engine than that in it and who goes off roading in a 70k plus car
Toyota is better reliability than German crap brands you mean. Landrover breakdown because they use BMW parts
@@hassyg4083 What a load of absolute rubbish, Land Rover haven't been owned by BMW for years. They were using Ford engines for quite some time.
Say that to all the high mileage Land Rovers out there. Just because you can't afford to service a luxury car doesn't mean they're not reliable.
Takes me back to the boxy Prado from the late 90s... I love it!
Im assuming this is just the new version of the "Prado" that we still get in the UAE/other countries in the middle east as well as Australia, but renamed the Land Cruiser in NA and Europe since they discontinued the regular Land Cruiser in those regions.
@@itssidx Yes it is...
still got my 90
@@AdventurousNomad007this car is like 07 Discovery + BMW X6.
Kzn185 going strong!
Thanks for that great editing. Makes the videos so much better and enjoyable!
A few things.
“Cheap”’plastic is for men with boots lad. Toyota designed this car for people like Safari rangers the forestry commission and border patrol in mind.
Number two
The reason that Toyota insists on manually unlocking petrol is the security. This car is sold in markets where fuel theft is a much more common issue and having an electronically controlled mechanism is easier to fail than a mechanical system for the fuel filler cap. Countries where this is an issue include South Africa Thailand and Pakistan
Lastly the reason that have such milf heated seats on all there cars is due to long term reliability. Hotter heating filliments burn out quicker. Toyota use thicker more basic heating filliments (same for the window) to try and guarantee long-term reliability and functionality over performance and short term excellence
I have the current prado 150 series, bought new 18 months ago and I absolutely live it. Used it in lots of snow this winter. Drove it through 50cm deep snow on the standard 4wd high. Never touch the dif locks or 4L. Drove through that snow like I was on a dry road, even on steep hills. Feature wise this new one doesnt have anything mine doesnt have. The camera system is the same. When you drop to 10kph or less the 360o camera comes on. In off road mode the terrain camera comes on, except mine actually shows all the underneath as well as the front . In 10 years time when I might want to renew my cruiser, this new model is what I would go for as long as they keep the diesel engine and all the physical switches, etc and as long as they do not make it all electric.
Everything in this life evolves my friend, yes they're keeping the 2.8 4 Cyl Turbo Diesel for some Markets
the screens on the 150 LC are so old and dated though, so while yours has the same tech the cameras arent that clear. i still liked the 150 when i test drove it though
I second that! Mine is great and what you mention regarding snow is very true as mine go through it like it’s not even there 👌
Engine ❤
Physical buttons ❤
Boxy design ❤
Toyota💪🏻
2.8 L. Diesel 4 cylinders are also used in Hilux Revo and Fortuner in Southeast asia.
And this engine is reliable.
( I also like 70 series. It's has old school look.)
Very low on power for a 2.8L...
It should have more HPs
Don't let African Politicians see this
😂
For real, these are politicians holy grail😂😂
Lol
And Sri Lankan politicians too
Ahahha truuu
The Land Cruiser is back on top, I'd choose one of these over a new Defender in a heartbeat
It's a land cruiser Prado. It always was on top in it's as class
Any day, and this makes the Defender look like it's wearing makeup
Defenders are garbage a Suzuki can smash a defender offroad so not really much to shout about beating one tbh
This statement is false :p@@bigduphusaj162

34:02 "it is deeper than I thought and it is every wett" haha Matt best quotes so far.
I’ve been inside the Toyota Burnaston Factory seeing the welding is an amazing sight 👍 I love the look of this New Landcruiser shame it’s such limited availability
As someone who got stuck in snow in the Cairngorms last week in March, not far from where this was filmed, this is the video I was waiting for!
The design has my heart. To be honest I think it’s great value. This is something you can have for years.
This is how you do an interior. Love it! And the exterior is also great!
The places where the cheap material is, from my point of view is actually very well positioned. I own RR, and untill this video i did not realise that those points where Mr. Watson showed are actually the points where a lot of dirt is accumulated. Especially on the sun roof and visers (where you tend to touch with not allways perfectly clean hands).
Why we uploading Carwow videos at midnight lol
It’s 5pm in the states
Had me thinking the same thing 😂
Yeah what gives, I was just about to go to bed!
Could be an embargo, Top gear uploaded the same vehicle at the same time
7pm here PA. US..😮..Cheers!
No way this is the perfect car in the Middle East these things will sell like hot cakes change my mind
Perfect to drive the slave carriages from the slums into the city so the modern day slaves can build more flashy buildings so influencers can come stay and girls can make fortunes being human porta potties 🤔
yes, i know someone who own car dealer partnered with toyota in the ME got a waitlist of 40k people in one day 😅
@@whereheatthooh nice which country?
its to be sold in UK
They don't deserve this. Modern day slavers
This is a real review and test of a serious off roader. Well done mate!
New Prado (and Jimny) really nailed the Neo-Retro look so well !
They don't have auto fuel covers because the markets where these cars are sold more, there are fuel theft cases.
plus, why overcomplicate it, its a part that will barely ever wear out, doesnt need all the electrical bs and works, Is it really that hard to pull a switch to open the cover.
@@user-jp9ox9zd2khe doesn't mean electrically operated he means automatically unlocked with the cars locks. Yk like most cars in the UK do. Very few cars in the UK require the driver to press a button inside the vehicle to open the fuel door you just push it in while the cars unlocked and it opens so its just a bit strange to the British.
Not to mention lots of them have fuel attendants that put the fuel in for you too. In Pakistan where im from for example where the Prado was quite popular all the fuel stations i went to had fuel attendants and you just tell them what and how much you want and they fill it for you
It’s a big mistake by Toyota to only offer the retro round headlights on the First Edition models. Let customers buy whichever face they want
Hopefully there will be aftermarket retrofit options
In the us, it will be a trim called the “1958”
Id go the round, i love the look on my FJ's Part of the reason why il keep one of them just like my original fj.
@@ClonewarswarsClone cringe marketing
Loved the interior and features review. Tnx.

Correct

@@xXxFaustoMoraesxXxYet Mat should've mentioned it, even Doug Demuro did.
Well he did refer the old car as Prado when he did the turning circle
@@xXxFaustoMoraesxXx yes. And?
Driving aggressively is an understatement. Were those dirt track portions of the road closed? Like no possible oncoming traffic in the tight corners? Homie was flying. Land Cruiser was crushing it for sure. I can’t wait to see one in person.
At 27:31 Matt risking his life for Content 😅. The dedication 👏 👏 👏

off road mode should disable all the proximity chimes. if you're off roading youll obviously be getting close to things and the car will be constantly beeping like it was in this video.
I dig the round headlights better….I’d love one.
The use of all the memes, clips and all are on point. Keep it up!
This video was alot more entertaining than I'd thought it would be. Well done editors!
For Australia and big travelling, buy it but get the GXL Prado ( this 250 Series being the Land Cruiser - Prado. The big brother 300 series being the real Land Cruiser) for the 150 litre fuel tanks. The VX and Kakadu only have one tank. And yes, the non-push fuel cap makes complete sense in Outback Oz and Africa because of thieves.
be real no matter what time a carwow video comes out we will always watch it 😂
He actually BREAKS IT right after passing the chief assistant to the chief engineer flying😂
Where there were no roads, there was LANDCRUISER. The most wanted 4WD in the earth. 🙌
I’ve owned several Land Cruisers and this is a buy 100%.
I was waiting for this one like the mesia, perfect timing after easter week end
This was one of the most fun carwow videos I've seen for a while! I absolutely loved the bit where you were speeding down the forest lol And I like the car too, it looks great in my opinion.
This thing is really cool. I love every inch of this land cruser. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The hybrid version will be my 4th Toyota in 13y. I don't fly, so I've always needed a reliable car that takes me from the farthest E and S corners of Europe to W and N. In 13y of owning Toyotas, I have never taken one for service except for oil and filter change...Toyotas are a statement of reliability without blink blink or BS...thank you Toyota for making your customers happy...
Well done. Imagine it with 35” Toyo Hybrid tires, or BFG KO2’s! It would be unstoppable. I have a 1995 Toyota 80 Series (309,000 miles on it). I believe it was called the Amazon over there in the UK). I just drove it from my home in Malibu to my other house in North Carolina on the East Coast with zero issues. Having solid axles front and rear makes it positively unflinching off-road.
Kind of sad we’re both watching a car review at this time😂

Good job, Toyota. I loved working for you and I'm glad to see you're still making good vehicles.
this was the funniest video ever the editor killed it
My 2010 vx prado has the exact same electric folding 3rd row seats. It's a carryover from the 150. Cup holders are covered, unlike the new one.
Love Mat's demonstration of operating controls without a hand! CarWow has the most creative & entertaining reviews.
Nice video! I'm in the US, so this LC 250 model isn't the same as the NA drivers will be getting but it's great to see the LC 250 in action!
I Love this New LC. Well done Toyota ! 👏.
Mat watson back with the heat💯
So how wide is the cargo area between the wheel wells? "408 l" is useless as a measurement unless you carry loose grain. Do you?
Hi Matt, thanks for this video, have you seen GWM Tank 500? I am waiting for your review on that.....let me know your thoughts on that

Nice that they made the Angel View mirror standard equipment. Bigger than the rear window it looks out of.
Is this better or in par with the land cruiser 300 series ? Thanks
thanks for beating it up for us, people who actually will use this offroad appreciate you!
Loved the ending part, thanks Mat 👍
Loved it! Every other video I saw, they were taking it easy. Like they were carrying eggs. You had me cracking up! But, it was exactly what I needed to see. A little disappointed about the engine. I really wish they would’ve kept a six in it, but that’s unfortunately where everyone is going. Big, noisy 4 cylinders- 😢. Also, I’m digging Lewis’ camera. Is that the fx30? I have the 6700, should’ve gone with the 30. What lense is he using?
Anyway great footage, great and real review! Thanks
The `weird jumper glove` suits you Mat!
Would love to see a comparison between this and a 110 defender
