Motor Trend


The latest Toyota Land Cruiser is thoroughly modern up close, but you'll know it from a distance. The rugged, class, somewhat safari-linked look is instantly recognizable. But at arm's length, the latest Land Cruiser isn't inspiring like some of its Land Rover rivals; the issue is that while the Land Cruiser used to have a unique look, the latest version, introduced a couple of years ago, looks a bit too much like its Sequoia and Titan brand-mates, in our opinion. Objectively, though, the Land Cruiser keeps with tradition, in looking confident and off-road-ready.

Inside, the Land Cruiser has the same, very upright, chunky styling that all the newer Toyota trucks have received. It's a pretty technology-heavy presentation, with a navigation screen top and center, plus climate, audio, and off-road controls below that, and it emphasizes a certain truth about the Land Cruiser's appeal—that it's rooted more in gated communities than in remote outposts.

Conclusion

The 2011 Land Cruiser looks more like a modern Toyota SUV than an off-road icon.
