The Toyota Land Cruiser, the new version of which will go on sale in 2021, is a legendary car. It has gone from a utilitarian all-terrain vehicle to a premium SUV, without exaggerating this status, because the Kruzak really has excellent cross-country ability and power reserves. In the new generation of 2021, the car has not received any special updates, but is still different from its predecessor.
Appearance of TLC 200
The exterior of the new Toyota Land Cruiser 200 2021 version has remained virtually unchanged. The front part is distinguished by a massive radiator grille, divided into horizontal stripes coated with chrome. The line defined by the grille continues with the headlight elements, into which the continuation of the chrome strip cuts into, dividing the lighting element almost in half.
The car's hood contains two aggressive moldings that make the central part depressed; they perform both aesthetic and aerodynamic functions. The bumper, which is large in height, is equipped with additional ventilation holes and fog lights at the edges, and below there is a solid canvas.
From the side, the Land Cruiser 200 is no different from its predecessor. It has the same three glass panels, of which two windows belong to the doors, and one is made blank and is located closer to the trunk. A chrome molding runs along the bottom line of the door, and wide wheel arches, slightly square in shape, emphasize the off-road character of the car.
The back of the car is just as classic for this model. The door is massive and starts with glass narrowed at the top, which does not take up much space. Below is the brand nameplate, on the sides there are massive headlights, between which there is a chrome element with an engraved model name. Like the front, the rear stripe cuts slightly into the headlight area, creating a single visual space.
Immediately below it there is a recess for the license plate, which turns into a bumper highlighted with straight lines. It is not yet known what colors will be offered to the consumer, but we should expect the classics that the colors have already become:
- black;
- white;
- silver.
Additionally! Among the design varieties there are metallic and pearlescent colors, which shimmer beautifully in the sun and even change shade slightly.

Reviews from Toyota Land Cruiser 200 owners
The new Kruzaks differ only in their body kit and air suspension, but my heart wants a new one with 0 mileage, the smell of a new interior where a fly hasn’t “sat”, while I’m staring at the new Lesus 570, but my mind says, why? You have everything, and the rest is show-off. But he enters into dialogue, the heart says, show-off is more valuable than money. Considering the old owner’s testament that pits do not exist for a corn farmer, having driven 30,000 km, I firmly believe that there are no pits.
First: if you want to buy such a car, immediately prepare 230-240 thousand per year only for tax and insurance, respectively, about 50,000 tax, about 200,000 CASCO, I’m talking about Moscow. At the same time, I don’t count the cost of gasoline, and they are also not cheap. The consumption on this car never falls below 28-30. On the highway it may be less, but not significantly.
The ergonomics of the interior are a C grade: the plastic is very inexpensive (to put it mildly), the other materials are not very good either. The dust on the driver's door handle has started to wear off. The front seats are uncomfortable due to the short cushion. With a mileage of about 8,000 km, I noticed a crease on the seat, tried to smooth it out, but it didn’t work; when I sat, I felt it was already in the way.
I went to the dealer and it turned out it was an illness. The foam lining with built-in heating is rolled into a tube. The upholstery was replaced under warranty. The price for ordering an outfit is 48,000 rubles (for those interested). I've never had anything like this on any car.
Land Cruiser 200 is a very successful car: a beautiful, reliable, slightly thoughtful friend! During the three warranty years, only the chrome was changed (under warranty) and that’s it! Did you make ceramics every spring? removes cobwebs. I changed the engine oil every 5,000 km, I don’t even know if this helps the engine or not.
The consumption for such a heavy car is quite reasonable 13-15 liters in the city, the highway is less, I won’t lie, the on-board computer showed 9 liters, though! The headlights shine very well, but they dazzle oncoming cars, I had to turn off the lights and drive on the lights, later I asked the dealer to adjust the lights at the stand, but everything remained as it was. Selling after three years of ownership.
In the modern world there are two trouble-free things - the Kalashnikov assault rifle and the Toyota Land Cruiser 200. Generations of people and cars change, but the unsurpassed reliability of TLC does not change. In a critical situation, a machine gun and a car will save your life.

The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 will still be able to move using one of two available engines. The buyer can choose between a 4.5-liter diesel engine, producing 249 horsepower, and a 4.6-liter gasoline unit, developing 309 horsepower. The transmission will always be automatic, operating in six ranges. There is no choice and no drive - it is always full. The car has not yet been test driven, but there is no doubt that the car will easily cope with any type of road.

Appearance
The restyling affected the optics, the radiator grille, the shape of the bumpers, the relief and other details. The dimensions and shapes of the main elements remained untouched, which is why the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser in the new body still remains recognizable.
The front part has been updated the most. It still takes on a rectangular shape, is large in size and is located at a decent height, which does not allow short drivers to move normally in a car and assess the situation on the road.
The body kit is separated from the main part of the bumper by a thin strip of bodywork. Most of the space on the body kit is occupied by an additional air intake grille, which has a polygonal shape. It is also trimmed with a chrome line along the perimeter, and inside it there is a very large mesh. At the edges of this grille there are small round fog lights. The body kit also has protective elements that are made of metal.
From the side, the large SUV remains virtually unchanged. Still a lot of space here is occupied by windows, assembled into a long and wide rectangle. Wide stripes, made only in black gloss, are responsible for framing and separating the glass. On the doors of the car you can see a bunch of smooth transitions in height, as well as chrome handles. The lower part of the TLC 200 is complemented by the same relief, huge square wheel arches with small extensions, a chrome decorative strip above the sills and running boards that simplify access to the interior.
The appearance of the rear of the car has not changed much either. Still, it is completely located at right angles to the road. Also, most of the space here is devoted to the luggage compartment door. It will be filled with a solid visor on which the brake lights are located, a large window, branded overall optics, which have huge dimensions and a rectangular shape, chrome inserts and nameplates, as well as a bunch of relief, both stepped and wavy.
The body kit protrudes slightly outward and is a step that simplifies access to the trunk. You can also find fog signals and protective elements on it. Many parts, such as the exhaust system, towbar, towing eyes and spare wheel are located under the body.

Big changes will also occur inside the car. Many fans of the car always thought that it had too simple multimedia for its status - now this situation has been corrected. The new body of the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 will boast premium finishing materials such as genuine leather, wood and metals. The appearance of the dashboard has seriously changed. Now most of the space on it is occupied by a massive touch monitor, which is placed vertically. It is with its help that the bulk of the options will be configured. On the sides of it there are neat deflectors, and on the left you can see the engine start button.
A little below the screen there is a climate control panel, which includes both analog and touch elements. As before, the tunnel here is located at right angles to the dashboard, and most of it is reserved for the technical panel. Also here you can find cup holders hidden under a special flap, and a large high armrest, which hides a huge glove compartment with a cooling system for the contents.
The seats deserve special words of praise. They will be finished only with genuine leather. There is also a bunch of additional functionality here. The front row is equipped with heating, ventilation, electrical adjustments and lateral support. The second row has a reclining backrest, heating, ventilation, climate control, separate multimedia and an armrest. For the third row, only heating and organizers are prepared.

The interior can only be judged by the photos that Toyota released as introductory aids. They show a four-spoke steering wheel in the driver's seat, which is of medium size, and the dashboard has two analogue instruments with mechanical temperature and fuel level scales, and a digital secondary display is placed between them.
In the middle of the dashboard there is a multimedia touch screen that acts as a navigator; additional settings can be made there. In the lower left corner there is an engine activation button, and below there are music control units and climate settings.
Interesting!
After the small ashtray, a tunnel begins in which the heating control is installed, pucks for selecting additional driving modes, there is even a place for a panel for wireless charging, where you just need to put a smartphone that supports this function.
The rear row of seats is quite minimalist, it is designed for three passengers. The two outer seats can easily accommodate the widest people. The middle seat is even equipped with a headrest, but its width is clearly not enough for comfortable placement. Monitors mounted on the front row headrests are optionally available.
Also, for an additional fee, Toyota offers a third row of seats that fold, like the second row. With all but the front seats folded down, the load volume is an impressive 1,430 liters, which is comparable to a small truck. The interior is decorated with leather, depending on the configuration it can be artificial or natural, however, any version has a pleasant appearance and wear resistance.
Toyota Land Cruiser 200: expert opinion
Vladimir Melnikov (creator of test drive reviews in the Autoreview magazine) notes that Toyota buyers do not follow modern trends and are conservative. Kruzak attracts them with its simplicity and clarity. It is captivating that the model is very stable when driving off-road thanks to shock absorption.
Anton Vorotnikov (conducts test drives for a YouTube channel) believes that as long as there are bad roads in Russia, the Kruzak will be appreciated, despite the archaic nature of its design. He believes that the Land Cruiser 200 is an excellent car, because in Russian realities, cross-country ability and reliability of units are important - durable equipment can save lives. The expert dedicated a video to this model.
Stas Asafiev (founder of a car selection agency, engaged in test drives) says that the car cannot be called bad. True, it was made for a specific audience: not everyone is chasing reliability, which requires them to sacrifice technology. The specialist made a video about the 200 Kruzak.
Specifications
The dimensions of the car did not change even after the design change, because the platform itself suits both the concern’s engineers and drivers. The length of the car reaches five meters, and the width and height are two meters, which turns the car into a large box. The ground clearance also remains the same - 22.5 cm, which is enough not only to overcome the curb, but also to go on light off-road conditions.
Since the new model Land Cruiser has not yet begun to be sold in Russia and will be presented only in the fall of 2021, one can only guess what engine options the manufacturer will offer. Considering the weight and size of the SUV, it is assumed that there will be two versions:
- Diesel with a volume of 4.5 liters, which contains 249 hp.
- Gasoline, in which the engine has a volume of 4.6 liters, and 309 “horses” are hidden under the hood.
Acceleration to 100 km/h at such power is expected to be at the level of 8.6 seconds, and only the automatic transmission will control the speed switching; there are no alternatives in the form of mechanics. Also, the car always has all-wheel drive, emphasizing the purpose of the car.
Test Drive
Staying inside the Kruzak while driving is a pleasure. The car is designed for relaxing travel. The trunk is roomy – 909 liters. To recharge electrical equipment, you can use the 200 V socket located inside the machine.
The car's handling and dynamics are not up to par. When creating the Land Cruiser 200, the manufacturer focused on cross-country ability rather than maneuverability. While driving, there is no desire to accelerate sharply or quickly take turns. This feeling is comparable to returning home after work - you don’t want to do anything, you feel the mood to relax.
A video review of the Toyota Land Cruiser says that the car is designed for off-road use. On off-road terrain, the Kruzak overcomes difficult sections without difficulty. Going through deep mud, steep climbs and sand in a comfortable Cruiser is a pleasure.
When driving along a straight and deserted highway, it was discovered that the model was “gluttonous.” Gasoline consumption – 20 liters per 100 km. Considering that the tank volume is 93 liters, the fuel will run out quickly. The problem can be solved by installing a second 45 liter fuel tank.
Some car enthusiasts complain about terrible handling and poor dynamics. The model was created for people who will not rush along highways and start from intersections. The test drive should be carried out with an emphasis on comfort.
The finishing materials are not so rich, and the interior is thought out more for convenience than for design.
The only small drawback revealed during the test drive is the lack of a sense of “premium” or “elite”, as in German competitors.
Options and prices
Considering the car will go on sale in almost a year, there is no exact information about the trim levels, as well as their prices. There are only assumptions and rumors, largely based on scraps of information from the manufacturer.
| Equipment | Peculiarities | Price, rubles |
| Elegance | Leather seats, heated and ventilated front seats. There is also a heated rear seat. Four-zone climate control, heated steering wheel. | From 4.8 million |
| Prestige | Electric trunk lid, all-round visibility using four cameras. Built-in navigation, multimedia system with 14 JBL speakers, controlled by a touch screen. | at least 5.1 million |
| Luxe Safety | Safety performance has been improved thanks to the Toyota Safety Sense package. Electric sunroof, contour LED interior lighting. The seats are upholstered in semi-aniline leather; a third row of seats is optional. | 5.3 million at launch |
| Executive Lounge (maximum suite) | Unique wheels and radiator grille. Darkened headlights, specially designed leather upholstery, black headliner. Also expected are LED headlights, hydropneumatic adjustable suspension, and 20-inch wheels. | from 5.9 million |
There are also rumors about the availability of the simplest Comfort version, which will have a minimum of additional options and the seat upholstery will be rag.
Important! By analogy with previous generations, the TRD package may also be offered, which includes a special design and the presence of special nameplates on the body.
Options for Russia
Toyota does not plan to develop special options for Russia, so buyers can choose only among the trim levels. You can purchase additional features such as LED headlights, a third row of seats, and a special suspension. The heating and strength of the chassis are not enhanced specifically for Russia; regardless of this, the car steadfastly overcomes obstacles, and it is warm inside even in severe frosts.
