Toyota Land Cruiser akhirnya bakal melalui fasa perubahan model sepenuhnya (FMC) pada tahun 2021, 14 tahun selepas model generasi semasa. Land Cruiser generasi seterusnya mungkin dipangil siri-300 kerana generasi semasa dikenali sebagai siri-200. Toyota Land Cruiser 300 2021 dikatakan bakal menggunakan ‘body-on-frame’ baru berdasarkan platform TNGA, mungkin dipanggil sebagai TNGA-F. Platform TNGA-F ini dikatakan bakal digunapakai untuk model generasi seterusnya seperti Lexus LX, Toyota Prado, da
The Toyota Land Cruiser will undergo a full model change in 2021, about 14 years since the debut of the current generation model. The next-generation Land Cruiser is expected to be called the 300-series, as the current-generation is called the 200-series. The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 is said to utilize a new body-on-frame architecture based on TNGA, possibly called the TNGA-F. The new TNGA architecture is expected to be shared with the next-gen Lexus LX, Toyota Prado, and the Toyota Hilux as
Setelah berada di pasaran selama 15 tahun, Toyota mungkin akan memperkenalkan Toyota Land Cruiser 300 generasi serba baharu pada bulan April 2021. Land Cruiser generasi seterusnya ini dijangka akan digelar sebagai 300-series, memandangkan generasi terkini dipanggil 200-series. Berbeza dengan model Toyota generasi terkini dan bahasa rekaan “Keen Look” mereka, ‘rendering’ atau gambaran yang dihasilkan oleh Mag-X menayangkan rekaan yang lebih berevolusi daripada Land Cruiser 200-series yang sekaran
After being on sale for better part of 15 years, Toyota could be introducing the all-new generation Toyota Land Cruiser 300 in April 2021. The next-generation Land Cruiser is expected to be called the 300-series, as the current-generation is called the 200-series. Unlike current-generation Toyota models and their “Keen Look” design language, the rendering by Mag-X reveals a more evolutionary design from the current 200-series Land Cruiser. Like other rugged Toyota models, the upcoming Land Cruis
It seems the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is not the only notable country leader that favours Toyotas as another country leader has shown he favours the use of a Toyota off-roader. A video of the Indonesian president, Joko Widodo, or better known as President Jokowi, wading through the floods in a Toyota Land Cruiser on his way to visit flood victims has gone viral recently. Like some parts of Malaysia, Indonesia has been experiencing floods due to the heavy downpour, especially in South Kalimantan. Pr
One of the biggest headaches when it comes to transporting vaccines is the required storage temperature of between 2 to 8 degrees Celsius. Toyota answers the issue with this custom-made Refrigerated Vehicle that even the World Health Organisation (WHO) has given a thumbs up. The Refrigerated Vehicle is a product of a collaboration between Toyota Tsusho Corporation, Toyota Motor Corporation, and B Medical Systems S.a.r.l. Toyota Tsusho provided the knowledge on how to optimise the use of the truc
Mention big military-grade SUVs and one would normally think of the Hummer H1. Although Toyota’s most popular SUV would be the mighty Toyota Land Cruiser, the Toyota Mega Cruiser is the much bigger and much tougher 4-wheeler from Toyota. Being 2.17 m wide, the mega Cruiser is 30 cm wider than a standard land Cruiser. First unveiled at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show, and later released in 1996, the “civilian” Mega Cruiser was only officially sold in Japan. Mainly used for miltary and special purposes,
A few days ago, we wrote a feature on the absolute unit of a Toyota called the Mega Cruiser. To put it short, it was Japan’s answer to the American Hummer. Toyota only produced 100 civilian Mega Cruisers, making it one of the rarest and most interesting Toyota models ever. The main reason for the Mega Cruiser was after all as a military transport to carry soldiers, mortars, and missiles for the Japan Self Defense Forces (JSDF). So you could imagine our surprise when we found one Mega Cruiser arm
Think of the 2021 Toyota Fortuner - here in top-spec 2.8 VRZ guise - and it naturally draws comparison to bigger stalwarts in the carmaker's stable. It's not uncommon for people to call it a 'baby Land Cruiser' and while in some cases that may be true, that's a tag that undercuts what the car can do. Priced from RM 203,183 (SST-free, until 30-June 2021), it isn't exactly the cheapest car around, but boy does it put the 'sports utility' part in sports utility vehicle (SUV) to good use. Exterior -
Kalau sebut Toyota Fortuner di Malaysia, ia pasti mengingatkan anda kepada kereta peronda JPJ ataupun unit khas di beberapa jabatan kementerian. Ada sebab kenapa Fortuner ini dipilih, kerana ia tahan lasak, nampak gagah, dan praktikal. Tetapi dengan model kemaskini terbaru ini (varian 2.8 VRZ), Toyota ingin mengingatkan anda bahawa ia juga sebuah SUV ranggi yang sesuai untuk seisi keluarga. Bermula pada RM 203,183 (tanpa SST, sah sehingga 30 June 2021), Fortuner bukanlah SUV yang paling murah, t

Toyota and Suzuki’s partnership continues to deepen, as Toyota India has confirmed that they will be introducing the Toyota Urban Cruiser soon, itself a rebadged Suzuki Vitara Brezza. Set to be built in Suzuki’s Gurgaon plant alongside its Suzuki sibling, the Toyota Urban Cruiser will be powered by Suzuki’s 1.5-litre four-pot that does 105 PS and 138 Nm, hooked up to a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic.

Earlier this month, we reported news that Toyota is set to launch another crossover called the Urban Cruiser, this time in India. It is a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza which is the sub-4-metre little brother of the global Suzuki Vitara. Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt Ltd, Toyota’s Indian subsidiary has released pictures and bookings for the little crossover on their official website. The Urban Cruiser is Toyota’s second partnership model with Maruti Suzuki after the Baleno-based Glanza. Hardc
Kerjasama Toyota dan Suzuki terus bersambung apabila Toyota India mengesahkan bahawa mereka bakal memperkenalkan Toyota Urban Cruiser. SUV ini juga merupakan Suzuki Vitara Brezza yang baharu.

** This article is the personal experience of a 2003 Land Rover Discovery 2 owner and does not necessarily reflect the views of WapCar. Facebook: Jack Lee As you have read the previous article written by me here, I have said that my BMW E36 328i probably has a tinier interior space than a Myvi.

Shortly before the world shut itself down and braced for Covid-19, Land Rover hosted an international media drive for its all-new Land Rover Defender in Namibia. The all-new Defender is nothing like its predecessor, and in a good way, no matter what die-hard fans of the old Defender will say. We have to move on and embrace progress. The most obvious difference with the all-new Defender is the switch from ladder frame chassis to unibody construction, aluminium of course. In fact, within the Defen
Remember this ad of the BMW M5 camera chaser car filming a land speed record car in the early 2000s? The ad was made to showcase the M5 as the “fastest saloon on the planet”. Fast forward to 2020, this ad has become reality as a video producer converted a BMW M5 into the perfect camera car. Dubbed “The Bavarian Ranch Hand”, this 2002 E39 BMW 5 Series M5 is a purpose-built camera chaser car capable of capturing car-to-car footages at speeds over 200 km/h. The Ranch Hand is equipped with a modifie

Proton sebenarnya adalah akronim untuk Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional. Sebagai sebuah jenama kereta nasional, kita patut berbangga dengan kewujudannya. Jerman ada Volkswagen, Jepun ada Toyota, dan Korea pula ada Hyundai. Jenama-jenama ini diketengahkan kerana ia memenuhi permintaan dengan “kereta rakyat”. Proton kini sudah berusia 35 tahun (dikira dari tarikh kelahiran Saga pertama). Toyota dan Volkswagen pula berumur 83 tahun manakala Hyundai 53 tahun. Proton dikira masih muda jika dibandingkan d
Land Rover is more than ready to welcome a new era for their 2020 Land Rover Defender. While the overall UK media will not be getting their hands on the car due to the coronavirus, a number of them still managed to give the new Defender a shake down and here are some of their opinions. The Defender looks nothing like the first. Sure, it is still rather rugged and boxy looking compared to its other Land Rover siblings’ elegance, but it doesn’t have the harsh army look that the Defender is now syn
Proton is an abbreviation or Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional. It’s a national car. That was the intention and it is something we should be proud of. Germany has Volkswagen, Japan has Toyota, and Korea has Hyundai. Other famous brands have been left out in favour of those that cater to the masses with “people’s cars”. Proton is 35 years old (We’ll take the Saga launch as its birthday). Toyota and Volkswagen are 83 years old while Hyundai is 53 years old. Proton is young in comparison to these compan
There was a time when SUVs weren’t a big thing and were more of a utilitarian 4x4 than a trending crossover. None matches the bulletproof and macho 4x4 quite like the Mitsubishi Pajero, Isuzu Trooper, and the Toyota Land Cruiser. Out of those three, only the Land Cruiser managed to survive today with the Trooper being trooped out many years ago and the Pajero being discontinued in 2020. We’ve done a sort of eulogy for the Pajero but today, we’re celebrating the very first Pajero and how it came
Dahulu kala, SUV bukanlah sesuatu kehangatan. Malah ia lebih kepada kereta yang serbaguna. Disebabkan itu, Mitsubishi Pajero, Isuzu Trooper, dan Toyota Land Cruiser telah menjadi satu ikon di dalam dunia pacuan empat roda. Diantara ketiga-tiga model ini, hanya Toyota Land Cruiser sahaja yang masih ada sampai sekarang. Isuzu Trooper telah dihentikan beberapa tahun yang lalu, manakala Mitsubishi Pajero baru sahaja dihentikan pada tahun ini. Oleh itu, mari kita belajar sedikit sebanyak mengenai asa
As is well-known that Touareg can dart through the downtown even in its slightly large body, while Land Rover is born to across the rainforest and have its off-road ability on the ball, so many may suspect that Land Rover is destined to win the off-road contest if racing with Touareg. Confronting the "incontrovertible" opiniton, TFLCAR conducted an off-road test recently, in which the team made contrast of Volkswagen Touareg with Land Rover Discovery, and the video goes way beyond our speculatio

In the light of Covid-19 pandemic, it is not a surprise at all that Jaguar Land Rover has decided to delay the planned UK media drive of the all-important 2020 Land Rover Defender. But what surprised everyone was their decision to redeploy the media fleet to the Red Cross’ international to aid in their fight against the coronavirus. Land Rover announced their decision to hand over the fleet to the Red Cross on their official Twitter account. LR’s communications director, Richard Agnew, also foll
Harley Davidson adalah sebuah jenama yang sedang mengalami kemerosotan. Baru-baru ini, Harley Davidson telah mengambil keputusan untuk keluar dari pasaran motosikal terbesar dunia iaitu India. Keputusan tersebut diambil atas beberapa faktor, antaranya penjualan yang merudum (kurang 25,000 unit) dalam pasaran yang menjual sekitar 15 - 20 juta unit motosikal setahun. Mengikut jejak langkah pengeluar barat yang bekerjasama dengan syarikat dari timur dalam membangunkan motosikal bersesaran rendah, H
The Toyota RAV4 is the world’s most popular SUV, holding a strong lead over the Honda CR-V and Nissan X-Trail. The RAV4 is also the fourth best-selling car model worldwide, after the Ford F-Series, Toyota Corolla, and Honda Civic. Earlier this year, the Toyota RAV4 crossed its 10 millionth unit sales milestone, after 26 years on the market (since 1994). All these might come as a surprise to many Malaysians because the Toyota RAV4 has never been a strong contender in here. Few RAV4s were sold her
