2006 Toyota Land Cruiser Review
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
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Based on mainstream Large SUVs, Premium Large SUVs are really super-sized luxury liners. All are powerful, pricey, and extremely thirsty at the pump.

Our Best Buys is Toyota Land Cruiser. Our Recommended pick is Cadillac Escalade.
News
Though the future is still hazy for this thirsty slow-seller, record gas prices and slumping big-SUV demand make us think Land Cruiser will disappear after 2007, maybe sooner. That would allow Toyota to focus on its redesigned Sequoia SUV and a luxury JX version for Lexus division, both reportedly on for 2008. If the Land Cruiser does survive, it would probably be as a special Sequoia model.
