The history of the Toyota Land Cruiser model will help us understand how the utilitarian managed to go the way that made it a prestigious modern car.

Automobile Toyota Land Cruiser - the brainchild of the post-war period

Emergence of the model

The first prototypes of the car, later called the Toyota Land Cruiser, appeared back in the late 40s - the car was an almost complete copy of the Willys MB, which was the predecessor of all Jeeps. However real story Land Cruiser began in 1953 when it began mass production model created for military needs. As base chassis Toyota SB truck units were used, which made the vehicle incredibly durable and. In addition, the future Land Cruiser also received an engine from a truck - the six-cylinder unit of the B series had a performance of 86 Horse power with an actual working volume of 3.3 liters. Thanks to high power and the excellent traction capabilities of this unit, Toyota engineers completely abandoned transfer case, reducing in a similar way.

Thanks to the name of the engine, as well as the internal designation of the SUV, like Toyota Jeep, it went into production under the name BJ. Despite the fact that the vehicle was initially intended for the American military, they had already significantly reduced their presence in Asia and were not very interested in Toyota. As a result, of the 298 vehicles, most were purchased by the police and forestry departments of Japan. In addition, several SUVs were given for private use to company employees, which led to the emergence of a civilian version of the Toyota Land Cruiser.

By 1954 year Toyota began to think about selling her SUV - however, an obstacle to this was the claim brought by the Willys company, which prohibited the use of the name Jeep even as part of the abbreviation. It was urgently necessary to come up with a sonorous name that would allow promoting the car in foreign countries- as a result, Toyota announced a competition. It was won by technical director Hanji Umekara, who suggested the name Land Cruiser. In his opinion, this name was associated with the world famous, and also spoke about the military past of the model, since Cruiser is translated as “cruiser”. They decided to assign this name to a new civilian vehicle, while the utilitarian SUV was still produced for domestic market under named after Toyota B.J.

Beginning of popularity

In fact, the history of the Toyota Land Cruiser begins in 1955, when the first car with the BJ20 index was created. It was much more comfortable than military modification, thanks to the following changes:

  • Fully metal body a first for Land Cruiser;
  • Changed materials for interior trim and seat upholstery;
  • Availability of a complete system, equipped with all necessary indicators.

Moreover, in design Toyota body Land Cruiser had soft lines that made the car look like. Initially, the car was sold only in Japan, but then branded representative offices were opened in South America, the USA and South Africa. Subsequently, deliveries were made to almost all continents of the Earth.

By the end of the 50s, the SUV index changed - it was now called the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ20 - the reason was the F series, which, with a four-cylinder displacement of 3.8 liters, developed an actual power of 105 horsepower. Around this time, the previous army Jeep was discontinued, resulting in public services We have already started placing orders for the civilian Toyota Land Cruiser. To best meet their needs, ten various modifications vehicles that differed in wheelbase size, body type and even the transmission used. Indeed, during this period, rear-wheel drive Land Cruisers were produced and entered service with the city police. On the basis of this vehicle was created passenger station wagon Toyota Land Cruiser FJ35V, which had an extended rear overhang, which could accommodate a lot of luggage.

Growing up as a model

However, the Japanese realized that with such a model, which in its essence remained simple and utilitarian, they would not achieve much success. Therefore, in 1960 it began made by Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, which already had a reduction gear in the transmission, and also had improved interior trim. It also received several modifications that were expected to make it successful in foreign markets. In particular, Land Cruisers were produced, equipped with three and five doors, in three wheelbase lengths, with station wagon and. An extended modification of the FJ45V was developed especially for the USA, which had the highest possible comfort.

Buyers also had a Toyota Land Cruiser with a hard steel roof and a plastic or fabric soft top.

Transition to luxury In 1989, the Toyota Land Cruiser 80 generation appeared, which was already deprived of an index indicating the type of engine used. The car corresponded in terms of equipment to a typical business class sedan of those times, available options contained air conditioning, an audio system with a large number of speakers and other means of improving comfort. In addition, since 1996, all basic Land configuration Cruiser 80 included such as two

inflatable pillows

Modernity

The next update to the model range of vehicles under the name Land Cruiser occurred in 1998, when modification 100 was released, which could already be considered a luxury car. Thanks to excellent equipment, as well as excellent dynamic characteristics, it received from wealthy people who had very high demands on their personal vehicle. Once again the range of Land Cruiser engines was revised - now buyers had a choice between gasoline unit V8 4.2 (272 horsepower), as well as in-line diesel six-cylinder engine of a similar volume, developing a power of 202 horsepower.

Majority Toyota versions The Land Cruiser 100 was equipped with an independent front suspension, but especially for people in need of a utilitarian vehicle, the 105 series was released with a fully independent chassis.

In 2003, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 series was introduced to the public - it was still based on the lightweight 4Runner chassis, but now gasoline engines of 4.0 liters (250 horsepower) and 2.7 liters (165 horsepower) were available for it. . It was slightly smaller in size than the “older” model and featured a modified design.

In 2007, a significant one was released, which was now called the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 - it received an updated design and an expanded list of equipment, and also featured significantly increased dimensions. The range of engines has also changed significantly - the base one is now a 4.6-liter V8 with a maximum performance of 309 horsepower. In addition, the vehicle can be ordered with a 4.5 diesel engine, the performance of which is 235 horsepower. Video about history Toyota car

  • Two years later, the updated Prado was released, which in its changes followed the Land Cruiser 200. The car increased in size, and also became more prestigious and comfortable. In addition, the list of engines has expanded, which were now represented by the following units:
  • Gasoline 2.7 liters - 163 horsepower;
  • Diesel 3.0 liter - 173 horsepower;

Gasoline, 4.0 liters - 282 horsepower.

Despite the emergence of the newest models, not only “hundreds” and “eighties” are popular, but also the Toyota Land Cruiser of the previous 60 series. The car is famous for its reliability, comfort and excellent maneuverability. If we talk about modern generations of Toyota Land Cruiser, they have practically no competitors - all other SUVs are either much more expensive or significantly lag behind them in terms of characteristics.

The updated flagship SUV Toyota Land Cruiser 200 went on sale in Russia at the end of 2015.

During the restyling process, the 200 received a number of exterior changes and many interior improvements. Although, this is still the same obsolete model, which is almost 10 years old.

Exterior

Sales were falling, the Japanese off-road flagship looked more and more archaic, and the designers tried to “modernize” the car’s appearance as much as possible. In principle, visually they succeeded.


After the update, the huge headlights of the Kruzak that already seemed ridiculous were replaced with modern ones head optics. The chrome strips make the headlights appear just as large, but now this size is made up of two horizontal sections. The lower part of the headlight is the LED DRL strip.

The large radiator grille on the new Toyota Land Cruiser 200 2016-2017 has become more massive, brighter and more chrome-plated, and, unlike its predecessor, has replaced the one-piece design with a composite one. The hood has become more prominent, and the lower radiator grille is wider. Fog lights decreased in size and received a chrome frame.



The profile of the 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 in the new body has remained virtually unchanged, unlike its sister body, which after restyling was reshaped noticeably more significantly. In the case of the “200” we see a large SUV with a large glazing area and massive convex wheel arches. There is nothing more to say.

The rear of the SUV has not changed much - new rear ones have been installed here. led lights, and the manufacturer’s logo is now slightly recessed inward, rather than protruding outward as before, plus the shape of the reflectors at the bottom has changed. But at the same time, the car visually began to look taller and narrower.

Interior

The seats are comfortable, but the cushion is a bit short for this class of car and long trips.

Installed new multifunctional steering wheel with nice buttons, the instrument cluster has been updated - the information content and readability have improved, between two large saucers of the main instruments (on the edges of which two more small ones fit) there is a large color screen.

On the right is a large 9.0-inch multimedia system screen, on which you can display images from various cameras, including in front of and under the hood (transparent hood mode).

The main advantage of the new Land Cruiser 200 was the regrouping of controls and their thoughtful organization with a logical arrangement, in contrast to the pre-reform version, where the buttons were scattered anyhow.

Atmospheric lighting appeared, wireless charger for smartphones and dark brown leather upholstery. In addition, all controls have become much higher quality in terms of materials and assembly.

The front seats are not mounted comfortably high, but if you lower them down, it disappears free space, Where rear passengers could stretch their legs. All the seats are a bit flat and do not protect against fatigue on long journeys.
