Latest Information on Toyota Land Cruiser 70
The thing with Toyota’s Land Cruisers is that you’re not going to come across its real qualities in the sales brochure or over a test drive, its inherent qualities are realised long into the ownership experience. The original 70 Series was launched in 1984 to replace the 25-year-old 40 Series and was done with a complete overhaul in the design area yet retaining the 40s off-road capabilities and durability. Newly developed engines were introduced by 1990. Later in the 90s a 4-door semi-long was presented as the Prado, which was later separated from the 70 Series range.

Priced at a hair under R1-million, it bypasses the traditional 'entry-level' EV tropes and offers a mid-size option with all the bells and whistles. With a large 80 kWh battery and the promise of near-silent operation, I approached my time with the newcomer with enthusiasm.
