Electrochromatic Rear View Mirror <p>An electrochromatic rear view mirror enhances night driving safety by greatly reducing glare from the headlights of vehicles following behind.</p>
Smart Start Keyless Smart Entry makes life that extra bit easier by locking & unlocking doors and turning on/off interior lights when approaching or leaving the car. A Push Start system allows for easy engine start.
Multi-function touch screen display <p>Located within the dashboard is the optional Electro-Multi-Vision (EMV) display. Toyota’s new state-of-the-art touch-screen display technology allows you to control an optional full-map <strong>satellite navigation system</strong> with voice guidance in several European languages. Simply enter the destination and the system will guide you with directional arrows on a large VGA resolution 32K colour touch screen display.
<br /><br />
The all-new <strong>JBL Synthesis</strong> audio system incorporates a hard-disk drive, 6-DVD changer and 14 speakers strategically positioned throughout the spacious cabin, providing a full-effect premium 5.1 sound experience.
<br /><br />
The satellite navigation system comes with full <strong>Bluetooth</strong>™ capability for hands-free calling, with functions controlled by, and displayed on, the colour display.
<br /><br />
When reversing, the large-screen display becomes the monitor for a <strong>rear-view parking camera</strong> that provides a clear image of the space available and any obstacles in your path.</p>
Pioneer 9 Speaker You’ll enjoy a crystal-clear, Pioneer 9-speaker audio system with 6-CD changer with MP3 and WMA compatibility, along with optional Bluetooth™ hands-free calling and voice recognition. Controls are mounted on the steering wheel for comfort and safety.

Transmission The Land Cruiser V8’s automatic gearbox delivers the ideal pairing of great driveability and fuel efficiency. It features AI-SHIFT technology, which adjusts gearshift patterns to suit you and the terrain
All roads performance Body on frame <p>A twist-resisting frame chassis – Toyota’s toughest to date – is ideally suited to punishing off-road action and provides an excellent basis for the Land Cruiser V8’s safety systems.</p><p> </p><p>It also increases towing durability and reduces the vibrations felt in the cabin.</p>
AHC and AVS <p>Active Height Control (AHC) adjusts your Land Cruiser’s ground clearance. When lowered, stability at speed and cabin access is improved. Raising it, meanwhile, boosts off-road ground clearance.</p><p> </p><p>Together with AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension) it also reduces body roll in bends, making your Land Cruiser more stable and comfortable.</p>
Active Traction Control <p>A-TRC is an intelligent form of traction control that keeps the Land Cruiser V8 moving in the most adverse conditions on- and off-road. A-TRC can actually apply brake force to one wheel that may be slipping while distributing power evenly between the three that are not.</p><p> </p><p>The result is that wheels with grip always get power, while the ones that slip receive the appropriate traction control.</p>
Spring Rate Control Spring Rate Control manages spring characteristics when turning or braking thereby greatly reducing the roll angle and pitch angle for increased passenger comfort.
Crawl Control Crawl Control (now available on both petrol and diesel models) maintains constant and stable low-speed off-road progress. The driver doesn’t have to worry about controlling the throttle and brake, and can instead concentrate on steering.
Hill Start Assist Hill-start Assist Control detects and reduces any rolling back when the driver moves from the brake to the accelerator pedal. This makes starting on inclines easier and safer.
Engines 4.7l V8 Petrol Engine Compelling to drive, the Land Cruiser’s tried and trusted 4.7-litre V8 petrol engine has been brought totally up-to-date with the addition of sophisticated VVT-i technology (Variable Valve-Timing – with intelligence) commanding truly significant power – 212 kW (288 DIN hp), plus a hefty 445 Nm of torque – ideal for swift, safe overtaking and demanding off-road challenges
4.5l V8 Diesel Engine <p>Superb torque & pulling power.</p><p> </p><p>The 4.5-litre, 210 kW (286 DIN hp) V8 diesel engine makes the Land Cruiser a premium off-road performer.</p><p> </p><p>It delivers an awesome driving experience with a massive 650 Nm of torque. Yet refinement is a priority and you’ll notice a quieter driving experience. Class-leading fuel economy is also a feature of this engine, with fuel consumption of only 10.2 litres/100 km.</p>
Safety High Strength Cabin The Land Cruiser V8 delivers class-leading crash resistance thanks to its high strength cabin. It benefits from an extremely strong body and specially designed deformable areas at the front and rear. Also, the chassis can safely absorb large amounts of energy in the event of an impact.
12 Airbags There are a total of 12 airbags, including chest and knee airbags for the driver and front passenger, plus side airbags. Curtain shield airbags, which protect passengers from side impacts, are instantly triggered if sensors detect that the vehicle is in a collision or rolling over.
Active headrests Active headrests are provided, which move up and forward almost instantly in the event of a rear-end collision. These both work to protect the neck area in rear impacts.
Multi-terrain ABS and Brake Assist <p>The Multi-terrain Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) adapts to a range of surfaces – gravel, sand, asphalt and more – and helps maintain control during sudden heavy braking or when braking on a slippery surface.</p><p> </p><p>It achieves this by electronically balancing the braking force between all four wheels to match the level of grip of each. By analysing the speed and force of the brake pedal, Brake Assist (BA) detects the driver’s intention to brake in an emergency and produces strong braking force accordingly.</p>
VSC Vehicle Stability Control The VSC system actively intervenes when it senses that the vehicle is at risk of sliding out of control. In extreme conditions, it applies the brakes to the appropriate wheel to help bring the vehicle back to its intended path.
VGR Steering System <p>The Variable Gear-Ratio Steering System (VGRS) seamlessly adapts steering characteristics to suit your type of driving.</p><p> </p><p>At low speed, or when manoeuvring, the steering feels light and very responsive, giving significant changes of direction with just small movements of the steering wheel. However, at higher speed, the steering gets firmer.</p><p> </p><p>This results in a relaxing drive, where minute movements of the steering wheel do not cause the car to move off line. As you slow down, the steering becomes more responsive again.</p>
