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

President Jokowi favours a Toyota Land Cruiser to wade through floods

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

Ninja King for the new age, the all-new 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 gets rendered

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.

The Toyota Mega Cruiser is the Japanese Hummer you've never heard of

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,

Remember this BMW M5 chasing down a land speed record car ad? It has come to life!

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.

Goldmine: Banzai! This RM 248k Mega Cruiser is a rare veteran!

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

Review: 2021 Toyota Fortuner 2.8 VRZ in Malaysia; as good as the Land Cruiser?

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

When Japan stopped working half Saturdays, the Toyota RAV4 became No.1. Here’s why

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).
