Toyota Mendedahkan Land Cruiser Siri 300 Semua Baharu
300 Series Toyota Land Cruiser ini telah didedahkan secara dalam talian dan akan dilancarkan pada akhir tahun ini.
Toyota Land Cruiser ini adalah raja off-roading yang tidak dapat dipertikaikan. Statusnya yang legenda telah berkembang sejak 70 tahun yang lalu dan di seluruh dunia. Kali terakhir Toyota melancarkan platform serba baru untuk Land Cruiser kembali pada tahun 2007 dalam bentuk the 200 Series.
Model itu terus berkhidmat selama lebih dari 14 tahun. Hari ini, akhirnya kita bertemu dengan penggantinya – 300 Series Toyota Land Cruiser ini. Sekiranya anda tidak kenal dengan Toyota Land Cruiser, baca artikel ini terlebih dahulu.
Land Cruiser Dibina Di atas TNGA-F
Ya betul. Land Cruiser baharu dibina di atas platform Toyota New Global Architecture. Walau bagaimanapun, derivatif khusus ini, yang disebut GA-F, adalah semua baharu dan direka untuk kenderaan body-on-frame.
Dengan menggunakan platform TNGA, Toyota berjaya memperkenalkan teknologi powertrain dan peralatan baharu, menurunkan pusat graviti dan berat Land Cruiser, serta meningkatkan keselamatan dan ergonomi. Dinamik pemanduan yang hebat dari TNGA juga telah masuk ke dalam keluarga Land Cruiser.
Rangka tangga telah direka untuk generasi ini agar lebih kaku dan 200kg lebih ringan daripada pada 200 Series. Sistem Suspensi Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS) yang pertama di dunia dirancang untuk mencipta SUV yang lebih dinamik di atas dan di luar jalan raya. 300 Series Land Cruiser juga mempunyai Monitor Multi-Terrain, yang memberi paparan video kepada pemandu mengenai apa yang ada betul-betul di bawah dan di sekitar kenderaan, sedikit seperti ClearSight Ground View dari Land Rover.
Pilihan Enjin Luar Biasa Land Cruiser
Sejak tahun 1998, Land Cruiser telah tersedia dengan pilihan V8 yang besar. Namun, 2021 adalah tahun Toyota mengubahnya. Kini, 300 Series Land Cruiser memberi pilihan twin-turbocharged V6. Terdapat sama ada twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 petrol (415PS, 650Nm) atau twin-turbocharged 3.3L V6 diesel (309PS, 700Nm). Kedua-duanya dipadankan dengan transmisi automatik 10-kelajuan baharu.
Berbanding dengan model 200 Series yang ada, pelepasan CO2 dan penggunaan bahan api telah berkurang sebanyak 10%. Walaupun begitu, Toyota mendakwa enjin V6 memberikan kelajuan yang lebih baik daripada enjin V8 beraspirasi semula jadi.
Satu lagi enjin petrol V6 aspirasi semula jadi dan pilihan automatik 6-kelajuan akan tersedia untuk pasaran tertentu. Ini dipercayai 1GR-FE, motor 4 liter dengan 270PS dan 377Nm.
Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 kini termasuk sekali dalam Land Cruiser 300 ini. Ia merangkumi ciri-ciri bantuan pemandu yang canggih seperti Pra-Perlanggaran Sistem dengan pengesanan pejalan kaki siang dan malam, pengesanan penunggang basikal siang hari dan banyak lagi.

PRESS RELEASE
The Toyota Land Cruiser’s status as an automotive legend is indisputable, with its heritage of achievement now spanning 70 years and more than 10 million sales across 170 countries and regions. Toyota’s proud claim is that Land Cruiser is a vehicle that will “go anywhere and everywhere, and bring you back safe and well.”
Toyota revealed an all-new Land Cruiser, presented in an online world premiere hosted in Dubai. The Land Cruiser (300 Series) is the first new Land Cruiser SW (station wagon) model since the release of the LC 200 in 2007 and takes its place as the new flagship of the SUV range. The changes it brings are unprecedented.
With new Land Cruiser 300, Toyota is further reinforcing its credentials for Quality, Durability and Reliability (QDR) together with improved off-road performance and on-road capability, to ensure drivers are at ease with any route they take.
The engines, transmission and platform are all brand-new and engineered to deliver a leap forward in performance both on-road and in the toughest off-road environments. Innovations and improvements – including world-first technologies – have been delivered without compromising any aspect of Toyota Land Cruiser’s ability, targeting performance that people can trust to carry them safely and securely, on and off-road.
With this objective in mind, Toyota has made first use of a new TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) platform, the first to be designed for a body-on-frame vehicle. The GA-F platform preserves exceptional off-road capability while bringing new benefits in terms of body rigidity, strength and dynamic balance and helping deliver improved on-road performance as well. It provides the basis for introducing new technologies, reducing weight, lowering the vehicle’s centre of gravity, improving safety and enabling new designs for the exterior and interior.
The frame itself was redesigned to save weight and improve its rigidity; overall the new Toyota Land Cruiser is 200 kg lighter than its predecessor. New suspension systems have also been introduced, while performance was tested to the limit by master drivers and drivers with experience of the gruelling Dakar Rally. The aim was to create an SUV that is not just highly capable, but is also easy for the driver to control, on and off-road.
Focus areas included tuning suspension performance to achieve optimum wheel articulation, keeping the tyres in contact with the ground on rough terrain, and improving road-holding with a world-first Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS). The new Toyota Land Cruiser 300 is also the first Toyota to adopt a Multi-Terrain Monitor, which gives the driver a real-time view of the road surface beneath and immediately surrounding the vehicle and the position of the wheels. The Multi-Terrain Select system automatically judges the quality of the driving surface and adopts the most appropriate driving mode.
The advances in driving dynamics and handling are supported by new V6 twin-turbo engines – 3.5-litre petrol and 3.3-litre diesel – engineered for class-leading performance and driveability superior to a conventional V8. Both are available with a new 10-speed automatic transmission, a unit that contributes to a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of around 10% compared to the current generation model.
The advances in engineering are matched by a new design that is faithful to the model’s heritage and status, while expressing a new concept of “functional beauty.” The Land Cruiser’s powerful, clean lines communicate the SUV’s great strength, together with greater sophistication and maturity. Inside, the cabin projects a higher level of sensory appeal in a space where the driver and passenger can feel comfortable and safe, regardless of how tough the driving environment is.
With the ability to place the vehicle precisely when driving off-road being a priority, the new Land Cruiser 300 preserves the dimensions of the current SW model, including overall length and width, the wheelbase and the departure and approach angles.
There are significant advances in safety, from the inherent robustness of the vehicle’s construction and its sophisticated systems for secure driving in challenging conditions, to additional and upgraded active safety and driver assistance systems provided by second generation Toyota Safety Sense. The ability of the Pre-Collision System to help avoid an accident has been increased so it is now able to detect pedestrians (day and night-time) and bicycle riders (daytime) in the car’s path. When turning at junctions, PCS can also recognise potential collision hazards with both oncoming traffic and pedestrians crossing the road into which the vehicle is heading. The new Toyota Land Cruiser 300 adopts a new Parking Support Brake, which recognises obstacles in front and behind the car when moving slowly in a car park and approaching vehicles and pedestrians when reversing out of a parking space.
Toyota will launch the new Land Cruiser from summer 2021.
Land Cruiser Heritage
The Toyota Land Cruiser has a proud history of providing safe and secure performance for 70 years. It can trace its history back to the original Toyota BJ model of 1951, which demonstrated its ability to tackle tough conditions by becoming the first vehicle to climb to the sixth checkpoint on the slopes of Mount Fuji. Having proved its strength, it was recruited for use as a police patrol car across Japan.
This was the beginning of Land Cruiser’s tradition of providing safe and secure performance – a tradition that can be considered the foundation for Toyota’s status today as a mobility company. Global cumulative Land Cruiser sales have reached around 10.4 million, its reputation built on consistently high levels of reliability, durability and off-road performance.
These qualities have made the Land Cruiser an indispensable tool for people living in remote regions and equipped it as a vehicle that can be trusted to help in humanitarian aid and disaster relief efforts.
