Toyota has a legacy of smart innovation and continuous improvement, so if want an SUV that compromises nothing, get behind the wheel of the Toyota Land Cruiser and marvel at its all-around performance. The new Toyota Land Cruiser is bigger, more powerful, more luxurious and more off-road worthy than its predecessor yet it is remarkably more fuel efficient with lower emissions. We’re not talking a small increase in power, either, with a jump of 106 hp to 381 hp in this 5.7-liter V-8 that debuted in the Tundra pickup. A beefed up frame that is significantly stronger in torsion and bending delivers more responsive handling and improved ride and noise restraint. The Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) boosts off-road traction by automatically disconnecting the stabilizer bars via an all-mechanical mechanism. Creature comforts abound, too, with heated second-row seats, four-zone climate controls, a center console refrigerator and a 605-watt JBL sound system with 14 speakers. A navigation system and DVD are optional on this “Best Of” that conquers both road and trail seamlessly.
