Toyota Land Cruiser Overview

The Land Cruiser is one of only a few truly elite off-road vehicles. And while this big, V8-powered SUV can transport up to eight passengers over the toughest terrain, it's also a comfortable long-distance cruiser. Inside, you'll find all of the features normally associated with top-level luxury sedans, including heated leather seats, power sunroof, automatic climate control, and every power accessory under the sun.

The Land Cruiser is also fitted with a long list of safety equipment. Standard features include full-time four-wheel drive, anti-lock brakes (ABS) with electronic brake force distribution, active traction control and vehicle skid control. These sophisticated active safety measures make the Land Cruiser easier to control in emergency maneuvers; traction control also enhances its off-road capability.

Few vehicles offer the off-road capability of the Land Cruiser, and fewer still combine this with its level of luxury. The Land Cruiser comes with Toyota's impressive level of quality control. While the price is high, the Land Cruiser maintains its value over the long haul with very minimal depreciation.
