The ANCAP test awarded the Land Cruiser five stars.
The 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser passed the Australasian new car assessment program (ANCAP) crash test with a maximum 5-star rating. This video shows the SUV passing through all safety evaluations.
The Land Cruiser scored 89 percent in adult occupant protection, and 88 percent in keeping children safe. The vehicle received an 81% rating for pedestrian and bicycle protection, while its overall safety system was rated at 77 percent.
The Land Cruiser is available in Australia and New Zealand with a full suite if airbags. Safety features include adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and lane keep assistance.
The new 300 Series Land Cruiser is not coming to North America, but the Lexus LX will be arriving. The Lexus LX shares many similarities with its Toyota counterpart. Expect similar crash-test results.
The pricing for the new LX has not yet been released for the US, but information should be available soon since sales will begin in the first quarter 2022. It might offer more safety technology than the Toyota because it is a luxury model.
The LX 600 is powered by a twin-turbo, 3.5-liter V6. It produces 409 horsepower (305kilowatts) as well as 479 pound feet (649 poundfeet). It is equipped with a 10-speed auto transmission.
The LX has a dual touchscreen infotainment screen. The 12.3 inch display on the upper screen shows navigation, audio controls and Multi-Terrain Monitor. For HVAC and Multi-Terrain Select details, the lower display measures 7.0 inches.
Ultra Luxury is an option that adds overhead ceiling vents and reading lights to the vehicle. It also features a rear-seat entertainment system featuring dual screens. The F Sport trim is designed for those who are looking to go off-road and have access to tech such as a Torsen limited slip differential for the rear axle, revised suspension tuning, or a Torsen limited-slip differential.
