Toyota land cruiser 300 gr-sport 2021 года: цены в россии

SUMMARY

TOYOTA has raised the bar with the LandCruiser 300, although it’s only incremental. In its typical manner, Toyota only does as much as it has to to stay ahead of the pack and with no serious competition in terms of vehicle sales, it hasn’t revolutionised anything here. What it has done is refined the well-proven LandCruiser formula to deliver a car that is more efficient, more capable and easier to drive.

The inclusion of the GR Sport model with its lockers and E-KDSS is to be commended as it creates a luxury 4×4 with capability we doubt any could match. The L663 Land Rover Defender would be the best comparison, as well as its traditional rival the Nissan Patrol.

We’d love to see a model that delivers more of what 4WD enthusiasts would really like. That is, a lighter and cheaper GX or GXL model with the factory lockers and E-KDSS. By not offering this, Toyota has left a huge opportunity for the aftermarket to fill that void. The $30K saved off the price of the GR S would buy a lot of accessories to build a supreme touring wagon.

In standard guise, the GR Sport is a supreme vehicle and will continue the marque’s dominance of the large 4×4 wagon segment once vehicle production is back to full tilt and it is able to deliver LandCruisers to customers.

CABIN & ACCOMMODATION

SLIP inside the GR Sport and you see why this is one of the more expensive LC300 models. Heated and cooled power-adjustable leather seats, power sunroof, plenty of bling, big configurable touchscreen that finally includes Apple CarPlay and Android, heads-up speed display for the driver, wireless phone charging and a drink chiller in the console are all fine appointments you’ll find in a luxury model.

The GR S only has five seats, while other models in the range can have seven. This is as much to do with payload as anything, as the weight of the third-row seat plus passengers wouldn’t leave you with much. The lack of a third-row seat does leave plenty of space for cargo and there are four tie-down points here and a 220V-100amp power outlet, but no 12V outlet. I always like at least one 12V outlet here for powering a fridge and maybe some camp lights, while I’ve never gone looking for a household-style power plug in a car for anything during all my years of travels.

The old two-piece tailgate is gone and the now one-piece tailgate opens upwards.

The split tailgate design that used to be on LandCruisers and Land Rovers was fantastic as it gave you a tailgate which you could easily use as a table when prepping quick lunch on the road or simply a seat. As it was on the Land Rovers, it has been deleted to save weight but I wonder how much weight could be saved if the tailgate wasn’t powered. It is a feature that will be missed on the Cruiser wagon.
