Excited for the all-new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser? We are too. This is a profoundly different SUV than the last Land Cruiser, for better and for worse. It’s a lot cheaper, for one, but that’s because it’s a smaller, less sophisticated off-roader that may indeed be less likely to survive 30 years of hard life somewhere in the Sahara. For suburban America, the new one should probably be A-OK. It’s still a Toyota after all.
Among the most iconic Toyota 4X4 in North American market, 4Runner has seen a generation update. Currently in its 5th Gen avatar, Toyota has now unveiled 6th Gen 4Runner that will be launched in the coming months. The most interesting element of 6th Gen 4Runner is that it looks similar to the recent Tacoma pickup, to be launched in India as new Hilux.
Sharing plenty in common with the all-new 2024 Toyota Prado 250 Series due in Australia within the next three months, the latest 4Runner is also heavily related to the Tacoma ute – with all three models sharing the brand’s TNGA-F platform also common to the full-size LandCruiser 300, Tacoma and Sequoia.

Utes and large four-wheel-drives are the biggest winners of changes to Australia's proposed new-vehicle emissions standards presented to parliament yesterday.
A new report alleges that Toyota's future FJ Cruiser revival could ride on the same architecture as its new $13,000 Hilux Champ, a compact truck. Japan's Best Car magazine alleges that the pickup's platform will underpin the company's upcoming off-roader, which will enter production later this year.
Infiniti's back to tease the 2025 QX80 that debuts in 15 days. Automaker executive Ivan Espinoza starts by telling us what we already knew, the ancient 5.6-liter V8 gets sent packing by a 3.5-liter V6. Espinoza calls it «all-new,» but this is in reference to the application. Parent company Nissan loves itself a TTV6, the GT-R given the codename VR38DETT, the new Nissan Z's version codenamed VR30DDTT, the same mill formerly serving the Infiniti Q50 and Q60. The 3.5-liter displacement in the QX80 means its engine can be expected to be called the VR35DDTT. We've got output numbers at last, those being 450 horsepower and 515 pound-feet of torque, improvements of 50 hp and guaranteed-to-feel-it 102 lb-ft. That outdoes the closest Japanese competition, the Lexus LX that gets 409 hp and 479 lb-ft from its TTV6.
