The Toyota Land Cruiser, known for its fame and durability, is moving towards electric vehicle technology, evident in the prototype model Land Cruiser Se.
This Land Cruiser Se will be unveiled at this year's Japan Mobility Show. It is an electric vehicle with a production look that shows Toyota's ambitions in the electric era. While details have not yet been fully disclosed, many are looking forward to this future model.
It's a motorised SUV with three rows of seats for seven passengers. Thanks to its 120-inch wheelbase, it's a big improvement over the current Land Cruiser, which was introduced earlier this year.
Compared to the regular U.S.-spec Land Cruiser, the Land Cruiser Se is bigger in size. In addition to a longer wheelbase, the electric SUV's body is also nine inches longer than the current model and adds 0.3 inches to its width. The experimental model features a new sturdy frame, first used in the Land Cruiser lineup, which is based on the famous ladder frame. Toyota says this new frame provides better handling response when driving off-road.
Toyota also asserts that the battery-electric vehicle boasts high performance in terms of torque. The prototype resembles US-spec Land Cruisers, particularly in its front and side parts. The new design appears less boxy and may feature a two-tone body to enhance style, complemented by a rear LED light strip that aligns with contemporary design trends.
The new Toyota Land Cruiser will be displayed in metallic colours at Transport Japan 2023, which will take place from 25 October to 5 November and will also feature the all-electric Kayoibako truck.
