The Land Cruiser 300 Series might be the talk of the town since its reveal, however the previous generation 200 Series (2007-2021) still has a huge loyal following. Russian tuner Khann International has presented the Land Cruiser 200 Expedition as an off-road-focused tuning kit for Toyota’s iconic model, inspired by customer requests from Australia and the Middle East. The Moscow-based aftermarket firm specializes in creating sporty bodykits for Toyota and Lexus models, but this time they presented something different. The Expedition kit is designed to communicate the adventurous spirit of the Land Cruiser while improving the already excellent off-road capabilities of the SUV.
Redesigned body panels based on the last
facelift of the LC200 make it look tougher and more modern. At the front, there
is a custom off-road bumper featuring a unique grille, protective plastic
elements, and an LED light bar positioned above the Toyota emblem. The vented
bonnet is also new, with fluid dynamic lines. On the sides, Khann added wide
fender extensions covering the chunky all-terrain tires fitted on black
ten-spoke alloy wheels, side steps, and a rather well-integrated snorkel on the
right side of the vehicle. Finally, at the back, there is a full-size spare
wheel, and a new bumper with more plastic cladding for protection against
rocks.
The kit is complemented by an orange body
color contrasting the black roof, bodykit, and wheels. Khann hasn’t shared any
details on the technical aspect of the Expedition package but it is obvious
that it includes a lift kit for the suspension and a new set of wheels. Judging
from the V8 emblem on the tailgate, the Land Cruiser Expedition is fitted with
the 5.7-liter V8 petrol or the 4.5-liter V8 turbodiesel, but it is unclear if
the tuner is planning to offer any performance upgrades.
Given that it could take years to take
delivery of a brand new Land Cruiser 300, a fresh approach to the previous
generation doesn’t seem like a bad idea, especially for existing owners that
wanted something to spice up their vehicle. Khann International hasn’t
announced pricing for the Expedition package besides stating that it is “coming
soon”. However, judging from the numerous redesigned body panels and the
chassis upgrades, we guess that it won’t come cheap.
