Toyota has announced the details of the
2021 Land Cruiser series 200, which retains the special Heritage Edition model
but will be available this time with a third-row option as well. The changes over the 2021 model year are virtually non-existent, with the
Heritage Edition adding two new exterior colors, Midnight Black Metallic and
Blizzard Pearl to the existing Classic Silver Metallic and Magnetic Gray
Metallic.
The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage
Edition features a black-accented front grille, a set of bronze 18-inch BBS
forged aluminum wheels, and vintage-style ‘Land Cruiser’ exterior badges.
Prices for the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser series 200 start from US$ 85,515, with the
Heritage Edition asking for US$ 87,845. Prices for the seven-seater Heritage
Edition model will be announced closer to its start of production this
September. Under the skin, everything remains untouched, with the 5.7-liter V8
still providing an ample 381 HP and 401 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired to an
eight-speed automatic transmission and of course a full-time 4WD system with a
Torsen limited-slip center differential and a two-speed transfer case.
The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser series 200
comes with the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, which adjusts hydraulically
the stabilizer bars for both better on-road smoothness and enhanced wheel
articulation when driving off-road. Systems like Downhill Assist Control, Hill
Start Assist, Crawl Control, and Off-Road Turn Assist will help you go further
off the road. Toyota’s Safety Sense P active safety systems range is also
standard across the lineup and includes everything from a Pre-Collision System
to Lane Departure Alert and from the Dynamic Radar Cruise Control to Blind Spot
Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
As for comfort, the 2021 Land Cruiser
comes pretty loaded with features such as ventilated front seats, four-zone
automatic climate control with 28 cabin air vents, a power moon roof, and a
heated steering wheel among others. The infotainment system operates through a
nine-inch touchscreen display and features an advanced JBL audio system with 14
speakers, Siri Eyes Free mode, Sirius XM satellite radio, and split-screen
capability. A wireless charging pad for compatible smartphones is also present.
