A Toyota exec says a return of the luxury SUV is still a ways off, but signs are promising.
three-row SUV, Hollis was asked if a storied nameplate like the Land Cruiser would ever make its return stateside, and the answer was promising:"Will we ever? I would say likely yes," Asked if it would be in the foreseeable future, he said we would have to wait for an answer on that one."Obviously Land Cruiser is such an important part of our heritage and has done such a great job. And I'll be looking at it, absolutely. Have I seen designs, thoughts, and hopes, yes.
So it's certainly not confirmed, but it's a much stronger answer than we were expecting. Then again, even last year's Land Cruiser departure announcement came with a wink, with"loyal enthusiasts and intrepid adventurers to stay tuned for future developments." The current global Land Cruiser is built on the new body-on-frame GA-F framework based on its TNGA platform, which our current Lexus LX is also built from. Focusing on the U.S. market, the new fourth-generation LX SUV got a significant update recently. Its 3.4-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine bumped output up 28 horsepower and 78 lb-ft of torque, now totaling 409 hp and 479 lb-ft, and it's linked to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
However, it sounds like we should be looking beyond the current J300 series Land Cruiser to whatever the next generation model may look like, which will almost certainly need to be electrified, either hybrid or full battery-electric.with the automaker devoting more resources to expedite its EV offerings, though no specific models have been teased, and the existing EV concepts may no longer be on the cards.
