lol. yes make sure its after official launch.

Estimated Ex-showroom price is 80 lacs. Add to it 14% for registration and insurance, the on-road price goes well beyond 90 Lakhs. That makes it well costlier compared to competition (Q7, M-Class, X5, etc). But the advantage is 4.5 V8 Diesel. I think this could be launched under Lexus brand which is percieved to be a notch higher than Toyota. Paying such high price for Toyota is unjustified. We shall wait for the launch though to know the exact pricing and features available.

That's priced very highly, IMO. I think it is because of CBU.

welcome back mate, hope your trip was good, absolutely even if you wont say it almost all mates here would say it to get official launch first then your review.ha ha ha. :lol!:

Even IMO, the Toyota Land Cruiser diesel will be very expensive, nearly overshooting the Q7's price, yet not belonging to the class of Q7.

The price is too high but then a v8 deisel and toyota service backup is an added advantage.

This Landcruiser will end up just like Camry, may be even worser.

80lakhs :affraid: , this thing will hardly sell compared to its competitors like Q7, X5 etc

yes audi,bmw,merc are in line up for toyota;s new launch, so with that price tag not going to be easy for toyota to sell that, and as CC they hope they dont end up like camry's market.

Yesterday I spotted a LandCruiser, It was imported and was parked in some office.
Sorry no pics.

The only thing Toyota can do is launch the Land Cruiser under the Lexus brand name. No one will go for such an expensive Toyota. It doesn't have that image as of yet to price vehicles so high.

The GREAT LAND CRUISER has arrived on the indian shores.
The company has launched top of the line Land Cruiser GX-R Amazon. Carrying a 4.5 litre V8 Diesel producing 282 bhp and a 66.8 kgm of torque.propelling this mammoth to a top speed 200+kmph!!!! :shock:
The enigine works in conjuction with a 6 speed automatic trasmission(with Manual Override of course) with a full time 4wd.
It is fitted with a Central torquevary differential rather than 2 diff. ones on both the axles providing the engine to provide ample power to either of the wheels depending on the conditions.It also comes with a Crawl Comtrol which is something like the hill decent system in some S.U.Vs.
Features a Smart key System, Climate control, Personal Entertainment hub, Powered Seats,Remote foldind Seats etc etc!!!!!
PRICED AT A WHOOOPING 80 LAKHS, THIS BAD BOY IS BUILT TO LAST A MILLION YEARS! :D
Germans better watch out coz THE CRUISER HAS LANDED!!!!!

Wow, finally the beast has made it to India. Everything is fine about the car except its price which is very high for the segment.

YEAH DUDE, MAYBE TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE LEXUS BRAND AT THIS PRICE!!!

I agree with you Aviral.

i agree, the price is way too high, i would rather prefer the q7 to this, that looks much better than landcruiser,

Dude Q7 does not stand anywhere around a LANDCRUISER in terms of OFFROADABILITY. Not talking about the snob value.
Its the best S.U.V suited for deserts and tough hill climbs.

i agree, q7 is not really made for offroading, but where in india do we go for a proper off roading? and the appeal you get when you see a Q7 on road is great :P

i agree Q7 has great appeal. but landcruiser is also nothing less. its in a class of its own

thats true, LC suits arab contries and other places where you have scope for more off roading

even india has lots of scope for off roading as i explained in the thread related to 2WD and 4WD.
rest its true that most of the people will buy LC for snob value.

Exactly there are many places in india where you can go off roading.
And quite adventurous ones too.

So finally much awaited Landcruiser is here.
But the price is bit high from my expectations.
