Massive Power, Massive Torque, Less Fuel
Thanks to the introduction of two new engines, the LC200 more than adequately delivers power befitting its ‘King Off The Road’ title. The all-new 4.5L V8 Twin Turbo Diesel engine gives you 195kW of power to play with, along with 650Nm of torque. Not to be out-done, the 4.7L V8 DOHC VVT-i Petrol grade delivers a mighty 202kW and 410Nm. Obviously, with power comes responsibility, and the LC200 takes its obligations very seriously. Both engines were designed with excellent fuel efficiency in mind. The diesel consumes a mere 10.3L / 100km* and the petrol just 14.5L / 100km*, and both meet strict Euro IV emission standards.
A more intelligent ride
The LandCruiser 200 interacts with the road—or whatever you happen to be driving across—like no other vehicle on Earth. New to selected LandCruiser 200 models (all except GXL diesel) is the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), delivering the highest possible performance through even greater stability and control during both off-road and on-road driving. KDSS optimally adjusts front and rear stabilizers based on movement of the hydraulic cylinders, assuring safer driving and a whole new level of comfort. And because it requires no additional power source, it’s environmentally intelligent too. Newly developed right here in Australia for Australian conditions, KDSS sets a new benchmark in suspension control technology.
New and improved Full-Time 4WD
The newly developed 4WD system in the LandCruiser 200 gives it full-time invincibility, under almost any driving conditions. Using a new and efficient motor switching method, it makes changing between low and high ratios a simple matter of turning a dial on your dash--and locking the centre diff for that extra bit of driving force is just as easy. A torque sensing LSD (Torsen® LSD) in the centre diff provides optimum torque distribution between front and rear wheels, providing better traction and control during acceleration and turning, and, just as importantly, increasing your enjoyment of the drive.
A world first with CRAWL
CRAWL is the new 4WD control system making its world debut in the LandCruiser 200. The ultimate in intelligent control, CRAWL operates like an off-road cruise control, automatically maintaining a low uniform vehicle speed to enable stable driving. This allows you to concentrate solely on steering because accelerator and brake operations occur automatically from the CRAWL control. CRAWL has been developed based on the pedal operations of veteran off-road driving experts, and, as a result, the control achieved impresses even the master test drivers who have participated in development.
