Features

This is the ultimate expression of luxury and capability. The 2018 Land Cruiser makes an impression wherever it goes with its legendary off-road prowess and bold exterior details. A stylish front end, LED lighting and chrome side moldings with the Land Cruiser logo help give this SUV an unmistakable presence. So whether you’re traversing uncharted terrain or enjoying a night on the town, you can rest assured that you’ll always arrive in style.

Land Cruiser features powerful lighting up front to help light your way. The headlights utilize LED elements for both the low and high beams, giving you bright, efficient light when you need it. And when the weather turns sour, integrated LED fog lights help you see and be seen.

When you’re a legend, it’s okay to show off a little. Up front, the chrome grille blends into the LED headlights for added sophistication. A sculpted hood hints at the powerful V8 underneath, and its front fenders show that this SUV is ready to flex its muscle.

Energy-efficient LED taillights last long, shine bright and help complete Land Cruiser’s distinctive look.

Land Cruiser’s leather-trimmed steering wheel is not only heated, it features controls for the audio system, Multi-Information Display and Bluetooth^® wireless technology.

Observe your surroundings from the comfort of leather-trimmed, multi-stage heated and ventilated front seats. The second-row seats also feature multi-stage heating, so your passengers won’t be left in the cold.

Land Cruiser’s dashboard is ready to help you take command of your next journey. A sleek design incorporates a large, high-resolution touch-screen display and intuitive controls. And it all comes finished with the exceptional quality you have come to expect from Land Cruiser.

You’ve never experienced climate control like this. The driver, front passenger and two second-row passengers can control their own environments with the help of 28 vents located throughout the cabin. On extremely cold days, a Positive Temperature Coefficient heater warms air instantly by passing it over an electrically heated ceramic element.

Rear-seat passengers can personalize their entertainment options with the available rear-seat DVD entertainment system. The latest movies, video games and more can be enjoyed on the two 11.6-in. screens placed behind the driver and front passenger seats. So no matter where your expedition takes you, the comforts of home can come along for the ride.

With power comes confidence. Land Cruiser′s Double Overhead Cam (DOHC) 32-valve V8 develops 381 horsepower and 401 lb.-ft. of torque, but that′s only part of the story. Technologies such as Dual Independent Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and an Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS) help maximize usable power throughout the rpm range, giving you unrivaled capability.

Land Cruiser's 8-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission with intelligence (ECT-i) is not your average transmission. It adjusts shift logic depending on throttle input, vehicle speed and incline for efficient power delivery in a variety of conditions. It also features a sequential shift mode so you can select the gears manually if desired.

True to its off-road heritage, Land Cruiser is built on a rugged 10-member high-tensile steel ladder frame for reduced flex and enhanced durability.

Land Cruiser rides on an independent double-wishbone suspension with coil springs and stabilizer bar up front, and a 4-link rear suspension with coil springs, stabilizer bar and semi-floating axle in the rear. It's a proven system that has stood the test of time.

Land Cruiser's undercarriage is equipped with reinforced skid plates to protect crucial areas like the front suspension, radiator, fuel tank and transfer case.

Demanding off-road situations often make you wish you could check your immediate surroundings for potential trouble. With the Multi-terrain Monitor, you can. Simply press a button to display front, rear and side camera views on the 9-in. navigation screen.

The Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) helps keep optimal traction, no matter how uneven the terrain is. When activated, KDSS automatically disconnects the sway bar and adjusts the suspension system for better wheel articulation. So when the road ahead looks challenging, Land Cruiser is ready to help you conquer it with ease.

On-road or off-, you can never have too much grip. Land Cruiser’s Torsen^® limited-slip center differential is engineered to automatically send more power to the wheel or axle with the most traction, and is equipped with a locking feature so you can manually select 50/50 front/rear power distribution in extremely traction-limited situations.

Challenging terrain requires a different driving strategy. Multi-terrain Select is an innovative system that helps control wheelspin and brake lockup to optimize driving performance over five of the most common off-road surfaces: Rock, Rock & Dirt, Mogul, Loose Rock and Mud & Sand.

When your off-road travels get tough, Crawl Control (CRAWL) is an advanced system that automatically modulates the throttle and brakes on five low-speed settings. Off-road Turn Assist allows for a tighter turning radius in Crawl Control mode in order to navigate turns when off-road.

Land Cruiser's Entune^™ Premium JBL^® Audio with Integrated Navigation and App Suite gives you a high-end entertainment experience. Its high-resolution 9-in. touch-screen display lets you access the integrated navigation system, your music and more. SiriusXM^® Satellite Radio compatibility and iPod^® connectivity means you’ll always have the perfect soundtrack to your adventure. And with 14 JBL Synthesis^® speakers, including a subwoofer and amplifier, it will all sound amazing too.

Explore more than just the great outdoors. When connected with a compatible smartphone, the Entune^® App Suite multimedia system gives you access to more information than ever before. Stream music with Pandora^® and Slacker Radio, locate restaurants with Destination Search and OpenTable^®, and get movie tickets with MovieTickets.com.

The 4.2-in. color Multi-Information Display helps you keep an eye on the information you want. Customize it to show your mpg, inclinometer, individual tire pressure, turn-by-turn directions and more. And when paired with your compatible phone, it can even display your text messages.

We’ve got you surrounded—in sound, that is. Land Cruiser’s standard 14-speaker JBL Synthesis^® audio system includes an 8-inch subwoofer and a 605-watt amplifier for amazing clarity and dynamic range.

With the third- and second-row seats folded, you’ll be greeted by a cavernous 81.7 cubic feet of cargo
capacity. So the next time you’re wondering if that super-size, bargain-price flat screen will fit, the answer is probably yes.

Leave the ice chest at home—Land Cruiser’s center console features a cooler box that can easily accommodate beverages and snacks.

Let’s open up to the world. Land Cruiser’s power moonroof lets you enjoy everything from a cool breeze to a breathtaking view of the night sky.

Adventures, and your gear, don’t come in one size. That’s why Land Cruiser features a 40/20/40 split second-row seat. When upright, it helps carry three passengers in comfort. The ends also slide forward for convenient access to the third-row seats. And all three sections easily fold down, giving you a vast and customizable cargo space.

Expeditions often require the assistance of an entire crew. Fortunately, Land Cruiser’s spacious cabin offers seating for up to eight. And everyone can ride in comfort, thanks to multi-stage heated and ventilated front seats, a multi-stage heated 40/20/40 split second-row seat with center armrest, and a 50/50 split third-row seat.

Up, up and away. Land Cruiser’s 50/50 split rear seats not only fold flat, they also fold away against the interior walls of the vehicle to create a level load floor.

In certain lower-speed, rear-end collisions, a bracket and cable system in the lower region of the front seats triggers the upward movement of the active front headrests to help position them toward the back of the occupants’ heads.

Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) provides an added measure of safety for the smaller members of your family. LATCH includes low-mounted anchors on outboard second-row seats and tether anchors for all second-row seating positions.

Using an in-vehicle camera and radar to help detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of you, the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) can help you mitigate or avoid a potential collision. If the system determines that a frontal collision is likely, it prompts you to take action using audio and visual alerts. If you notice the potential collision and apply the brakes, PCS w/PD may apply additional force using Brake Assist (BA). If you don't brake in time, it may automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, helping to minimize the likelihood of a frontal collision or reduce its severity.

If an inadvertent lane departure is detected and there are visible lane markings, the Lane Departure Alert (LDA) system will issue both an audible alert and visual warning on the MID screen, so you can safely direct the vehicle back to the center of your lane.

Automatic High Beams (AHB) are a safety system designed to help you see more clearly at night—without blinding other drivers. Designed to activate at speeds above 25 mph, AHB rely on an in-vehicle camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatically toggle between high and low beams accordingly to provide the appropriate amount of light. By using high beams more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles.

Standard Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) takes cruising to the next level. Using forward-sensing radar technology and an intelligent camera, the system is designed to detect the distance of the vehicle traveling directly ahead of you and adjust your speed accordingly. Designed to work at speeds above 32 mph, this system helps you maintain a preset following distance, slowing when the preset distance shortens, then accelerating back to your original cruising speed when the road clears.

Land Cruiser comes standard with ten airbags, including driver and front passenger Advanced Airbag System, driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags, second-row outboard seat-mounted side airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags and all-row Roll-sensing Side Curtain Airbags (RSCA) with cutoff switch.

Land Cruiser comes standard with the Star Safety System^™, a suite of six advanced safety features that includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Active Traction Control (A-TRAC), Multi-terrain 4-wheel Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop Technology^® (SST).

When Land Cruiser’s Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) detects a vehicle, it illuminates a warning indicator on the appropriate sideview mirror to help you know when it’s safe to change lanes. And when you slowly back out of a driveway or parking spot, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) provides an audible indicator to warn you of approaching vehicles.

To help provide extra occupant protection when the vehicle is struck from the side, steel beams are located inside all doors, and are designed to absorb energy and reduce the chance of intrusion into the cabin.
