Toyota has been generating excitement for the upcoming 2024 Land Cruiser with a series of teasers. After revealing a silhouette, the automaker has now provided a glimpse of the SUV’s nose, piquing the interest of automotive enthusiasts. The design appears to draw inspiration from the beloved FJ62 Land Cruiser, as evidenced by the similarities in the dual rectangular lights of the old and new models. The 2024 version showcases an egg-crate grille proudly displaying the iconic “TOYOTA” block lettering.
The bumper’s design follows a blocky and beveled pattern, setting it apart from its foundation, the new Lexus GX. The Lexus model integrates diagonal lines and sleeker headlights, while the Land Cruiser embraces a more rugged and off-road-ready appearance. This suggests that the 2024 Land Cruiser will be well-equipped to handle adventurous terrains.
Drawing insights from the Lexus GX, it’s expected that the 2024 Land Cruiser, likely named the Land Cruiser Prado in other markets, will feature off-road-capable underpinnings. Toyota’s TNGA-F body-on-frame architecture, independent front suspension, and coil-sprung multilink solid rear axle should enable superior performance on rough roads. The SUV is likely to offer four-wheel drive with a low range, a locking rear differential, Toyota’s Kinetic Dynamic Suspension, and Crawl Control to enhance its off-road capabilities.
While some details remain undisclosed, it’s speculated that the powertrain might include a twin-turbo V6 hybrid, similar to the Lexus GX. However, rumors have also surfaced that the 2024 Land Cruiser may be limited to four-cylinder engines, potentially akin to the turbo and hybrid units found in the Tacoma.
Excitement is building as the official reveal of the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser is just around the corner. The much-anticipated date for the unveiling is August 1 at 9:20 pm eastern time. Enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the event to catch a glimpse of all the SUV’s features and specifications. Auto enthusiasts can keep an eye out for the reveal coverage on Autoblog to stay up-to-date with the latest developments.
