Toyota Announces Land Cruiser Unveil Date

After 27 years of absence, Toyota will again market the Land Cruiser in Canada. We now know the date of its unveiling. Toyota is a company that has mastered the art of mystery shopping. After a huge advertising campaign on the new generation Tacoma, the Japanese group titillated motorists for several weeks on the arrival of the Lexus GX finally revealed in June. For the past few weeks, the manufacturer has been pursuing this marketing technique with a new vehicle highly anticipated on the market, the Toyota Land Cruiser. Few details have been released, but we now know the launch date.

A square front

A few weeks ago, Toyota unveiled a mystery image of the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser. In profile, it was possible to discover a large SUV that displayed a robust and straightforward look.

The new photo shows us a bit more of what the front of the Land Cruiser will look like. It will be entitled to a rectangular grille. Truth be told, every part of the front bumper seems to be made up of angular-shaped elements. The headlights, which evoke the dilapidated generations of Land Cruiser, are square, as are the air intakes placed near the distance sensors.

In the image, it is possible to see an old Land Cruiser in the background. This model would be commonly called FJ62, according to several sources, an edition particularly appreciated on the North American market before being replaced in 1996 by the Lexus LX. Looking at the front of both vehicles, there is a certain natural association between the manufacturer’s styling inspiration and the model’s origins, both of which share similarities. The manufacturer’s emblem, placed in the center of the grille, and the rectangular headlight units are just two examples of the similarities between the SUVs.

A singular identity

Toyota Land Cruiser

We know from the first mystery announcement that the Land Cruiser is based on the same fundamentals as the Lexus GX. This means that the Toyota SUV will undoubtedly have off-road skills. The TNGA-F platform also used for the Tacoma and Tundra, will surely allow the Land Cruiser to have independent front suspension and a multi-link rigid rear axle with coil springs. We bet the Land Cruiser will have a 4WD drivetrain with the ability to select a low gear, a locking rear differential, and Toyota’s Hill Cadence Control.

Although it shares several elements with the next-generation Lexus GX, the Land Cruiser appears to have a distinctive style that will set it apart from its cosmic twin. The powertrain has not yet been announced, but the 2024 Land Cruiser could be equipped with the hybrid powertrain consisting of a twin-turbo V6 engine found under the hood of the GX or the hybrid powertrain consisting of 4 turbo cylinders like that of the 2024 Toyota Tacoma.

Several components will need to be validated, but Toyota has confirmed that the Land Cruiser will launch on August 1. The vehicle will be unveiled at 9:20 p.m. Eastern Time, so we’ll keep an eye out for developments.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023.
