by The first Toyota Land Cruiser 300s have arrived in Ukraine. In particular, a batch of new SUVs was recently spotted on an autotransporter in Kyiv.
It should be noted that the appearance of the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 in Ukraine happened quite quickly – the novelty debuted just 1.5 weeks ago, on June 10. However, Toyota started delivering the SUVs to key markets in advance: the production of the LC 300 started back in May.

We have no doubt that the first “300s” in our country are already sold out. After all, it is one of the most anticipated cars not only of this year but of the decade! Its predecessor, the Toyota LC 200, was produced from 2007 to 2020.
The new Land Cruiser 300 series is built on the new GA-F platform (a variant of the global TNGA chassis), and its construction extensively uses not only steel but also aluminum. As a result, the chassis and body collectively shed 200 kg.
The vehicle has a length of 4985 mm and a wheelbase of 2850 mm, making it slightly larger than its predecessor. This allowed for an increase in interior space. By the way, the interior, as well as the exterior, retained its rugged style, but it has noticeably changed.
The engine lineup of the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 includes a 3.5-liter gasoline V6 with an output of 415 hp and 650 Nm of torque, as well as a 3.3-liter diesel V6 producing 309 hp and 700 Nm. Both engines are paired with a new 10-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
In terms of equipment, the new SUV can boast the Toyota Safety Sense active safety package, pedestrian detection system, lane-keeping system, and a fingerprint access feature.
