This month, the off-roader was unveiled.
Today’s police cars have gone beyond the typical Ford and Dodge. Law enforcement agencies all over the globe have enlisted a wide range of models and makes into their ranks. There are very few lineups that are as diverse or costly as the ones found in the United Arab Emirates. They recently added the 2022 Land Cruiser to their lineup. It is one of the less surprising vehicles to be awarded its badge.
The new Toyota off-roader will join the Dubai Police, Abu Dhabi Police and the Dubai Civil Defense forces. The supercar joins many others dressed in police uniforms. The Land Cruiser has many other comrades including a number of Porsches, Bentleys and McLarens as well as a Ferrari and Bugatti Veyron. There are also other mainstream models in UAE, like the Genesis GV80. However, none of these are what you want in your rearview mirror.
Although the LC300’s rugged, chiseled exterior has been preserved, it was redesigned underneath. Toyota moved the model onto its TNGA platform. The engine has even more changes. A twin-turbocharged, 3.5-liter V6 replaces a naturally aspirated V8. However, the new engine produces 409 horsepower (305 Kilowatts) while the V6 makes 479 lb-ft (650 Newton meters) of torque. This engine produces 30 horsepower and 80 lbft more than the V8.
The new Toyota is more efficient than the previous model and has a diesel engine with 305 horsepower (227 kW) & 516 lbft (700 Nm) of torque. This makes it a boon to the UAE police. The new Toyota is 441 pounds lighter (200 kg) which also helps. Interior received significant renovations with new screens, futures and more comfort. Al Fittaim Toyota delivered 50 2022 Land Cruisers last Saturday. The US will not have the new off-roader.
