Master of Africa powers ahead
As the pinnacle of the Land Cruiser family, the Land Cruiser 200 encompasses everything that is Land Cruiser: outstanding quality, durability and reliability; unrivalled off-road performance and enveloping luxury and comfort.
For 2017, the 200-series receives an injection of power, further bolstering its credentials.
Power Infusion
As before the Land Cruiser 200 is powered by a robust 4.5 litre, 32-valve DOHC, 8-cylinder turbodiesel engine in a V-configuration. A broad torque band is a hallmark of this powerplant, offering superb off-roading ability.
Paying attention to the numbers, sees an increase of 22 kilowatts to 195, delivered at 3 400 rpm. The tractive force is also boosted by 35 newton meters to 650, available between 1 600 and 2 600 rpm.
A 6-speed automatic transmission transmits the power to all four wheels, via a low-range equipped transfer case.
Specification Injection
The engine isn’t the only facet of the ‘LC200’ where enhancements have been made; as the convenience specification list is also expanded. As before two grades are available, the utility focused ‘GX’ and sumptuous ‘VX’ – now renamed to VX-R.
GX models receive roof rails, centre console housed coolbox, rear tonneau cover as well as rear park distance control. VX-R versions also inherit roof rails and auto-folding power exterior mirrors, whilst an integrated tow hitch now completes the VX-R package. - MotorPress
