This SUV has a special purpose Toyota introduced the updated classic Land Cruiser 70 in the summer, but then they were talking only about the regular 5-door version. A little later, details appeared about the pickup truck (such a car is popular in Australia), and even later they noticed an updated three-door (and these are selling well in the Middle East).

This SUV has a special purpose Toyota introduced the updated classic Land Cruiser 70 in the summer, but then they were talking only about the regular 5-door version. A little later, details appeared about the pickup truck (such a car is popular in Australia), and even later they noticed an updated three-door (and these are selling well in the Middle East). And now the turn has come to the rarest version of the Land Cruiser 70 - 10-seater (code - GDJ76). [caption id="attachment_76406" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Toyota[/caption] A “minibus” based on the Land Cruiser 70 is a real exotic: such a car cannot be bought, it is supplied only for humanitarian missions, and above all for the UN. The requirements for such machines are the most stringent, and the main thing is to be as simple and maintainable as possible. That is why the updated 10-seater Land Cruiser 70 did not receive either a new media system with a touch screen or an automatic switching system from low beam to high beam. But, at the same time, there is a Toyota Active Traction Control system (aka A-TRAC). From its predecessor, the SUV inherited its characteristic white color and snorkel. Toyota has introduced an updated 10-seater Land Cruiser 70, which is not available for purchase. The main innovations are under the hood of the GDJ76: the SUV received a 2.8-liter diesel turbo engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Due to this, the car became 30% more economical, and the power almost doubled - from 129 to 201 hp. The new engine ensures compliance with Euro-4 emission standards, which gives the right to use the machine in a number of countries and territories where it could not be used before. You can order the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 (GDJ76) at the Toyota Gibraltar office, but the price is not announced. The new car will be sold in parallel with its predecessor (code – HZJ76).

Cars with fastening defects were produced for three years Toyota announced a recall of Highlander crossovers in the USA, Canada, and Mexico – more than 800 thousand vehicles in total. Toyota is recalling more than 800 thousand Toyota Highlander crossovers The reason is the unreliable fastening of the lower part of the front bumper (the so-called “skirt”): it can fly off even from a minor impact (for example, when driving over a bump in the road) or simply during normal use. So far no one has suffered from this defect, but Toyota quite rightly points out that if part of the […]

The defective mount was found on Highlanders manufactured between 2020 and 2023. According to a Toyota representative, they plan to recall 751 thousand cars in the United States, and about 63 thousand cars in Canada and Mexico. As part of the campaign, dealers will install modified mounts on vehicles.

The new generation Nissan Armada will receive a V6 engine with 424 hp. And While Toyota is busy launching sales of the new Land Cruiser Prado 250 in the US, China, and Europe, Nissan is preparing its flagship Armada SUV for the US and Middle East markets. And the company is confident in its new car. Ivan Espinosa, Nissan’s senior vice president of global product strategy and planning, told CarExpert that the new Armada will not be worse than the Land Cruiser.

The new generation Nissan Armada will receive a V6 engine with 424 hp. And While Toyota is busy launching sales of the new Land Cruiser Prado 250 in the US, China, and Europe, Nissan is preparing its flagship Armada SUV for the US and Middle East markets. And the company is confident in its new car. [caption id="attachment_76334" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Nissan Armada[/caption] Ivan Espinosa, Nissan's senior vice president of global product strategy and planning, told CarExpert that the new Armada will not be worse than the Land Cruiser. And we are not talking about the “small” Prado but about the Land Cruiser 300. “ To be honest, it depends on what you compare it with. In the US we will have a lot of competition, so it all depends on the market. And I'll say the most obvious, although I don't like to say it. The Toyota Land Cruiser [300 Series] is a [competitor], and our car is much better than the Land Cruiser. You ride it and we can discuss,” said Ivan Espinosa. SUVs have many qualities, and they are compared in many ways, but a top Nissan executive believes that the Armada will be better in a global sense than the Land Cruiser 300. Considering when the new generation of Toyota SUV came out, Nissan will have at least three years to surpass the LC300 . The new Nissan Armada will be much better than the Land Cruiser 300. Little is known about the new Armada yet. Only the engine has been confirmed so far: instead of a large, thirsty naturally aspirated petrol V8 with 400 hp. a turbocharged V6 with 424 hp will appear. The Armada will not have the diesel engine that the Land Cruiser 300 has: heavy fuel SUVs are unpopular in the target markets. Ivan Espinosa also announced " big, key changes in technology " - this refers to the infotainment system, driver assistance systems, and various electronic systems. The serial Armada will appear next year – Nissan is now actively engaged in development tests.

It could be presented as early as November Toyota published a teaser of the future car on the Internet with the caption “A new dawn is coming.” The company did not explain which car we are talking about, but most likely the picture shows the new Toyota Camry. There are several signs that indicate this. Firstly, the new Camry is expected to be released in 2024, and the timing of the teaser is well in line with this plan. Let us remind you that the current Camry XV70 debuted in 2017, and in 2020 it was restyled. But by industry standards, she’s already an […]

[caption id="attachment_71985" align="alignnone" width="780"] new Toyota Camry[/caption] Firstly, the new Camry is expected to be released in 2024, and the timing of the teaser is well in line with this plan. Let us remind you that the current Camry XV70 debuted in 2017, and in 2020 it was restyled. But by industry standards, she's already an old lady. This is the new Toyota Camry. First image published [caption id="attachment_71986" align="aligncenter" width="780"] new Toyota Camry[/caption] Secondly, although the picture is darkened, the silhouette of the car in the image is still similar to a Camry. But the headlights seem to be borrowed from the new Prius. The public debut of the new generation Camry may take place as early as this year: either at the SEMA 2023 tuning show (to be held from October 31 to November 4), or at the Los Angeles Auto Show (from November 17 to November 27). Both events are North American, and this is significant: it is in the USA that the Camry is still a hit, despite its age.
