2011 Toyota Land Cruiser

Exterior   Does not have an elegant look, when compared to SUVs like Range Rover.   Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)   Standard features but it has Multi terrain Reponse system that allows us to drive on different terrains such as snow, desert, rock, and so on. It also has the Crawl Control that can be activated when the car is stuck anywhere, and the car can automatically drive itself out.   Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox   There is a lag in take off when Accelerator is pressed. Of course these cars not not designed for fuel efficiency, so you can't expect any mileage. Very comfortable gearbox with 6 gears.   Ride Quality & Handling   Extremely comfortable.   Final Words   I love the car.   Areas of improvement     The new Land Cruiser 200 Series comes with inbuilt Navigation system. Unfortunately, it covers European countries only. What am I going to do with map of EU countries on the Indian roads??!! I have contacted the local dealers but they didn't have any clue what can be done to get this rectified. Finally they said nothing can be done about this and I am not able to use this Navigation feature. I am also not able to contact Toyota's Japanese office (where the car was originally imported) to ask them about this as the contact details are not provided on their website and their Indian Head Office in Bangalore did not even respond to my emails, despite all my efforts. After sales service is pathetic. I only bought this car as I trust the brand. I hope Toyota can improve their after sales service especially because I have paid a shocking price of Rs.1.56 Crores to buy this car in India!!! That means paying double the price when compared to the UK and US markets and get comprised on its quality. This car also does not have inbuilt Entertainment system, TV, for rear seat passengers although it is mentioned that in their Manuals. At least I hoped the Manuals are customised!! In India, most cars only has standard models, unlike European and US markets where vehicles are custom made to suit their customers' taste. This is sad and this is the reality. I sincerely hope Toyota can take this up very seriously.    This car is amazingWhen compared to peers in the same segment, such as Range Rover, it lacks in beauty, and features

Exterior Looks very Big and very strong and feels heavy inside and out. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior very soft, smooth and very confortable SUV. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This is the most interesting Part. LC engine is one of best engines in the world it is so so so torqecious that even in deserts it gruntells like it rules the desert. Crossing deserts in LC is just a piece of cake. On highways it simply can go more than 220 km per hour and you will still feel your slow. thats the king of road grip and stability this SUV. It can proove its metal against any car. This one car that can work very very hard for you. Off i cant stop telling more about its engine. With so much power under the hood it still delivers 4 km per litre. and can carry 7 passengers comfortably thats good economy for any one. I drove automatic so no manual shift etc, but every thing was smooth. Ride Quality & Handling It just feels like your gliding you will enjoy the gruntling sound of LC it feels like your riding a dragon thats spewing fire. When you accelarate it pushes you back on the seats thats awesome. Final Words For any one who loves power, strength, safety, durability, all terrain acheiver, a freind, a hard worker in form of car, a hard worker  LC is their car. Areas of improvement Well this car is all that man wants. speed, power, looks, presence, technology, safety, security economy the list goes on and on. well i dont think their is any more improvement required to this car.4 kilo meters to a litre very strong SUVNothing Bad about Land Cruiser
