The Toyota Land Cruiser V8 is renewed – AlVolante

OFF-ROAD SAFETY IN – The Toyota wants the travel safe is a common denominator of all its models, so the same logic applied to sedans is also put into practice for the off-road “hard and well.” This is the case of the Toyota Land Cruiser V8 (which in Japan is called the 200) who made the last trading debut on the domestic market in its capacity restyled and renovated.

SAFE WITH FULL RANGE – The new Toyota Land Cruiser V8 does not lack novelty in the body, but to make a leap over previous generations have precisely the content of safety. The Japanese put it out that the package Toyota Safety Sense P installed as standard on the entire range of the renewed Land Cruiser is an evolved version of the Toyota Corolla on Safety Sense C adopted.

MODERN TECHNOLOGY – The “Safety Sense P” includes a large number of devices and systems that provide driver assistance and protection in a targeted manner to a vehicle by imposing features like Toyota Land Cruiser V8 . There are devices that aim to limit the damage in case of accident and those that help the driver avoid the accident. Among the first there is the Pre-collision System, which uses the principle of radar to monitor what happens in front of the vehicle, and in operation is including the ability to detect the presence of pedestrians. The system has the ability to brake automatically when it detects the possibility of a collision. This after sending signals early warnings, lighting and sound.

ASSISTANCE TO HELP – The principle of radar is also used for the speed controller with the Radar Cruise Control, which helps to maintain the safety distances on the highway. Also in this case the Toyota Land Cruiser is able to slow down and speed automatically. And then there is the Lane Departure Alert, now entered the custom of many motorists who drive more safely thanks to the “control” by the system constantly about maintaining the correct position in your lane, warning if it comes out. As well as the Automatic High Beam provides the ability to “see” even in areas where the headlights do not come against a finding him to pedestrians or cyclists suddenly. And there are less widely used and specific solutions for off-road, as the system that monitors the state of the road surface, helping those who are behind the wheel to put the wheels in the best places and have so driving safer.

BEAUTY FUNCTIONAL – As for the external changes, the new Toyota Land Cruiser V8 has benefited from improvements that have the characteristic of not only aesthetic but combining a technical reason related to the efficiency with aesthetic result. Overall the lines of the car has gained in fluidity. Similar interventions of aging have been made in the cockpit, not without the adoption of modern technological equipment, such as the new 4.2-inch LCD screen.

THE RANGE JAPANESE – All this for the Toyota Land Cruiser for Japan, with the possibility that distributed copies to the other countries present some characteristics different. In Japan, however, the model is available in four versions (two to five seats, and two 8-seater); all with the 4.6 liter V8 engine and four-wheel drive. They are not yet being disclosed on the European version which currently features a 4.5 V8 turbodiesel capable of an output of 272 hp.
