Vehicle Highlights
Land Cruiser gets more power for 2006. This SUV lends its design to the LX 470 from Toyota's luxury Lexus division. They share a V8 engine with 275 hp, a gain of 40 hp over 2005. Cruisers have a 5-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive with low-range gearing. ABS, an antiskid system, and three-row, eight-passenger seating are standard. Newly optional is the same suspension system used in LX 470; it offers driver-adjustable ride height and shock absorber firmness. Also optional are front side airbags with curtain side airbags covering the first two seating rows. Other options include DVD entertainment, and a navigation system with rearview camera.
COMPETITION
