The
biggest “look at me” factor for the car is its
engine, the first turbo-diesel V8 engine from
Toyota. The new 4.5-litre V8 produces more than
150kW of power and 400Nm of torque while complying
with the Euro IV emissions standard.
The new
turbo-diesel V8 engine has 23.7 per cent more power
and 13.1 per cent more torque than the previous
six-cylinder turbo-diesel engine.

Land
Cruiser 70-Series' all-new 4.5-litre V8 turbo-diesel
engine is the first Toyota engine with a
graphite-iron cylinder block.
The use of graphite iron provides for low weight and
a compact size while resisting the high cylinder
pressures of a turbocharged diesel design.
The
4461cc engine has a 90-degree V angle, under square
bore and stroke dimensions of 86.0mm by 96.0mm to
maximize torque and a compression ratio of 16.8:1.

The new
Land Cruiser 70 Series brings structural and styling
changes that deliver an even more imposing front end
with a wider track, improved suspension and better
steering feel.
Exterior changes include a new bonnet, new front
fenders, new headlamps, grille and front bumper, and
a significant increase in front track. The design
theme is a large, block-like three-dimensional
structure, to express the strength expected from a
4WD model.
Land Cruiser 70 Series' prominent front fenders,
headlamps and radiator grille accentuate vehicle
width.
The large front bumper integrates with the grille
and multi-reflector headlamps. The bonnet has a
cooling bulge for the intercooler. The side view of
the fenders was designed to give a clean, solid
feeling and continuity with the front doors.

All
models are powered exclusively by the new 4.5-litre
V8 turbo-diesel engine, featuring common-rail direct
injection and an intercooler.
The Euro IV-compliant, 32-valve V8 delivers 151kW of
power at 3400rpm and replaces six-cylinder diesel
and turbo-diesel engines.
Peak torque of 430Nm is reached at just 1200rpm and
held all the way to 3200rpm - the flattest torque
curve among all of Toyota's engines.
The new turbo-diesel V8 engine has 23.7 per cent
more power and 13.1 per cent more torque than the
previous six-cylinder turbo-diesel engine.
It is mated to a five-speed manual transmission with
two-speed transfer case and a part-time 4WD system
with manual free-wheeling front hubs.
The V8 engine's improved performance does not come
at the expense of fuel economy.

Toyota's new turbo-diesel V8 Land Cruiser 70 Series
engine has achieved better fuel economy than the
smaller-capacity straight-six turbo-diesel it
supersedes.
Its
fuel economy improvement over the superseded
4.2-litre straight-six Toyota turbo-diesel engine is
a result of the latest diesel design technology
including high-pressure (common-rail) electronic
fuel injection and a variable vane-type
turbocharger.
*Fuel consumption will vary depending on driving
conditions/style, vehicle conditions and
options/accessories.

Toyota's newly re-powered Land Cruiser 70 Series is
now the torque king in Japanese-built 4WD vehicles.
The 4.5-litre Land Cruiser 70 Series has 430Nm of
torque from 1200 to 3200rpm.
This exceeds the maximum torque of its nearest
rival.
The new V8 Turbo diesel has the advantages of a
broader spread of torque, high-pressure injection
and the latest emission-saving features.

By
consistently delivering reliability and off-road
capability, the LC70 Series has maintained a loyal
following that is both unique and enduring.
It has been a proven performer in close to five
decades of service in the most extreme working
conditions.
This dedication to providing trouble-free
performance has been crucial to the success of the
Toyota brand. |

The
survey found that towing capability and mechanical
reliability were the two major priorities for heavy
four-wheel-drive buyers.
Load-carrying capacity was ranked third, followed by
body workmanship.
Highly
satisfied with the vehicle's performance, most
owners go on to purchase another Toyota in the
future.
