According to the latest goss, Toyota’s iconic 4×4 will launch at the end of this month/start of June, and there will even be a GR Sport version of the J300! According to Instagram user landcruiserupdates, picked up by Motor1, a document sent to third parties show that the embargo for the official reveal ends at the end of this month, pointing at May 31 or June 1 as the official reveal date.
The leaked specs from that IG account was
discussed by YouTuber Kirk Kreifels, who pointed out that the new GR-S variant
will available with both petrol and diesel engines, besides being the only LC
to come with electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) technology
with front and rear differential locks.
Not all would want GR badges on a Land
Cruiser, so the luxury flagship will be the ZX, which will sport chrome
accents, 20-inch wheels, interior wood trim and leather upholstery, among other
luxury-related goodies. There will also be a ZX-exclusive rear-seat
entertainment system with dual 11.6-inch touchscreens.
Both the sporty GR-S and luxe ZX will
share a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system hooked up to a 14-speaker JBL
sound system. Both will also feature a 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor system with an
underbody camera, plus a washer for the reverse camera. Other goodies include
four-zone climate control and a head-up display.
The Land Cruiser GR-S will have its own
bumpers and grille, plus 18-inch alloys and CF-style trim for the cabin, the
reports add. The internal docs show that the Land Cruiser will come with 3.3L
turbodiesel and 3.5T petrol V6 engines. The oil burner is quoted with 302
hp/700 Nm (40 hp and 50 Nm more than before) while the turbo petrol gets 409
hp/650 Nm. Not long more now.
