Executive Lounge: even more luxury

697 2 min.

Official Toyota dealers have already begun accepting orders for the new status version of the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Executive Lounge SUV. This model will replace the previous “favorite” - the Excalibur model, which turned out to be very popular among Russian fans of the brand. It is highly likely that the new version will be at least as popular: the improved design and advanced anti-theft system make the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Executive Lounge a good choice for those who value their own comfort and peace of mind.

By offering the market a new version of the flagship Toyota Land Cruiser SUV model, the automaker was apparently guided by the principle “the best is the enemy of the good.” The changes are designed more to refresh interest in the flagship model, rather than to amaze with originality and unique ideas. If we talk about appearance, the new model is “dressed up” in noble black - the headlights and trim on the external rear view lights are made in this color. The design of the radiator grille, front and rear bumpers has been slightly changed, making the car look even more powerful and brutal. To properly brand the SUV, the emblem of the special Executive Lounge series was placed on the rear pillar. For greater effect and memorability, the light projection of the emblem is located directly in the vehicle boarding area.

Inside the cabin, there are also several new stylish touches - for example, semi-aniline leather trim, which is extremely soft and durable at the same time, black headliner, decorative stitching on seats and leather elements. Preference is given to deep dark colors, which are most associated with luxury and exclusivity. Car owners have access to two types of interior colors: black and brown.

It was decided not to add anything new to the package: the Land Cruiser 200 Executive Lounge repeats the Executive package. However, what we have is more than enough. There are all-LED optics, four-zone climate control, a premium JBL audio system with 14 speakers and a separate amplifier, wireless charging for a smartphone, hydropneumatic front and rear suspension with body height adjustment (4Wheel-AHC), and much more. The SUV is available with both petrol and V8 turbodiesel engines. It comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

But there is something truly unique in the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Executive Lounge - an innovative set of anti-theft measures. It includes not only double-lock central locking and an advanced anti-theft system, but also additional VIN number protection in case the car is stolen. Plates with the VIN number are located on various parts of the car. They are made using laser cutting and are reliably protected from counterfeiting. It is expected that such security measures will reduce the interest of car thieves in the model, and therefore will allow buyers on the secondary market to be absolutely confident in the purity of the transaction.

The updated model has increased slightly in price compared to the Excalibur. Starting price for the Executive Lounge - 5,750,000 rubles

For this amount you can purchase a gasoline version, a diesel model will cost a little more - 5,789,000 rubles

Land Cruiser 200 Executive as a standard of luxury, comfort and convenience

In the fall of 2015, after the largest modernization in the history of the life cycle of a single model, Toyota proudly introduced the new Land Cruiser 200. The car became even more expressive and luxurious thanks to a new exterior design, received richer and more functional equipment and an updated V8 turbodiesel engine with a capacity of 249 hp. With.

In March 2021, Toyota introduced the new top-end Land Cruiser 200 Executive, which was equipped with a hydropneumatic suspension similar to that found in the Lexus LX 570. The suspension technology has been successfully tested in conditions of extremely low temperatures and severe off-road conditions. Toyota hydropneumatic suspension technology has been tested by time and harsh Russian road and climatic conditions. A simple and extremely reliable system has proven itself during operation at low temperatures and in severe off-road conditions. Why is the Land Cruiser 200 Executive hydropneumatic suspension good?

The hydropneumatic suspension of the Land Cruiser 200 Executive allows you to adjust the body height and rigidity. The adjustment range from the lowest to the highest position of the body is 13 centimeters for the front axle and 12 centimeters for the rear. To move more confidently off-road, just use the High mode and the car will rise up 5 centimeters. For comfortable loading and unloading of luggage, you should use the Low mode - the car will lower by 6 centimeters.

When driving at speeds over 100 kilometers per hour, the Land Cruiser 200 Executive automatically lowers by 2 centimeters, which increases vehicle stability, improves its aerodynamic characteristics and reduces fuel consumption. In COMFORT mode, the suspension can be made softer, in SPORT S mode the engine reacts more sharply to pressing the gas pedal, and when selecting SPORT S+, a sport suspension mode is activated, which is suitable for stable movement at maximum speed.

How to control the height and stiffness of the suspension Together with the hydropneumatic suspension in the Land Cruiser 200 Executive, two systems operate that seamlessly complement each other. We are talking about the 4-wheels AHC (4-wheels Active Height Control) and AVS (Adoptive Variable Suspension) functions, which dynamically adjust the stiffness and height of the SUV's suspension in real time. The 4-wheels AHC system controls the suspension height in automatic and manual modes. It allows you to increase the cross-country ability of the Land Cruiser 200 Executive: to overcome an obstacle on the road without leaving the representative salon, it is enough to increase the body height. The Land Cruiser Executive has three altitude modes: Normal, Low and High. To select the desired height, just switch the keys on the control panel. In this case, you can fix the suspension in the selected mode by pressing the OFF key. If the car is loaded unevenly, the body will automatically take a horizontal position.

Regardless of which mode is selected, when the speed reaches 80 kilometers per hour, the Normal mode is automatically activated, after 100 kilometers per hour - Hi Speed Low. The AVS adaptive suspension system adjusts the stiffness of the suspension depending on the road surface, suppresses roll and longitudinal vibrations. It allows you to individually change the damping characteristics of each wheel depending on the selected driving mode. Updated exterior of the Land Cruiser 200 Executive The new Land Cruiser 200 Executive is also equipped with stylish front and rear bumper linings, as well as 20-inch wheels with 285/50 R20 tires. These elements are both practical and decorative in nature, and also give the representative appearance of the car an additional touch of luxury. “The new elements allow us to refresh the appearance of the Land Cruiser 200 Executive without disturbing the recognizable corporate identity of the iconic name,” says Toyota.

Innovative exterior

Moreover, if we talk about differences, then the super-flagship models are very different from their predecessors, including those that are black or white. Almost immediately you can notice that in special versions the radiator is partially painted to match the body color, which provides an interesting effect. Despite the stereotype that the amount of chrome increases along with the quality of the car, Japanese designers have moved away from this rule. And they were right - the appearance of the Land Cruiser 200 Executive Black is not so pompous, but the car is distinguished by severity and elegance.

On the other hand, the roof rails feature a matte chrome finish. There is also chrome trim on the mirror housings (which are black even in the white version, which looks more than impressive). The wheel rims have also changed. Now their diameter reaches 20 inches.

Technical characteristics of Land Cruiser 200 Executive

Happy owners of this car model will be able to appreciate all the advantages of the AVS hydropneumatic suspension, as well as the special 4-wheels AHC system, which provides excellent cross-country ability, including extreme off-road conditions. With its help, you can adjust the height of the body, which is especially important for traveling on poor road surfaces. At the same time, the feeling of comfort for passengers remains the same as when driving a sedan on good asphalt roads.

The following modifications are available from the Land Cruiser 200 Executive White power units:

4.6 liter petrol engine;
turbodiesel with a volume of 4.5 liters.

Power units are distinguished by their increased endurance and excellent dynamics. The engines guarantee an excellent ride for SUVs both on the highway and in extreme conditions. True, their fuel consumption is high when driving around the city.

In the city, the car takes about 17-18 liters; when going on the highway, fuel consumption drops to 9 liters. If we take into account the weight of more than 2 tons, then the indicator is quite pleasing with its efficiency.

Features of super-flagship models

The lighting technology is also different. First of all, it is worth noting the automatic switching between low and high beam. This convenience will definitely be appreciated by drivers who often need to travel at night or in the evening.

Naturally, Land Cruiser Executive Black is equipped with all the functionality that is available for the regular flagship version, including a security system. There is a special radar behind the radiator grille, and a video camera is located above the mirror mounting element. As a result, this ensures the normal functioning of cruise control, as well as a number of other systems that are responsible for the safety of the driver and passengers while driving.

The car also has a complete “winter package”, which consists of heating:

steering wheel;
seats (both front and rear);
mirrors;
windshield;
washer nozzles.
