Cons: Fuel economy; disappointing cargo versatility, mainly due to tedious side-folding 3rd-row seats; feels a bit archaic compared to many rivals[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][vc_column_text]CG Says: For 2016, Toyota’s Land Cruiser replaces its 6-speed automatic transmission with an 8-speed auto. Styling has been tweaked inside and out. A new safety package that includes a front collision avoidance system, blind-spot alert, and rear cross-traffic alert is standard. New technology features include an updated Entune audio system with Siri Eyes-Free Mode capability and wireless phone charging. The standard rear-seat entertainment system is upgraded from single screen to dual screen. Land Cruiser blends legendary off-road capability with impressive on-road manners and luxurious accommodations. However, it feels rather archaic compared to most of the competition, largely due to its limited passenger/cargo versatility. Land Cruiser’s staunchly traditional architecture appeals to a select group of high-rolling off-roaders and brand loyalists, but most premium-large SUV shoppers will probably be better served by less expensive, more-mainstream class competitors.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][mk_content_box heading=”The Facts”][mk_table el_class=”new-review-specs”]
