Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series 2020 off-road review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2020
- A tweaked 200 Series is expected here soon-ish, but the next generation Toyota LandCruiser, the 300 Series, is expected here in the not-too-distant future, and that will reportedly have a smaller engine (a choice of V6 diesel, petrol or petrol/hybrid) and an even bigger price-tag all-round than the current 200 line-up.
So, does the current 200 Series represent your last chance to get a big V8-powered 4WD LandCruiser that’s capable of handling daily-driver duties, but also ready to tour remote areas in comfort and style?
We tested a top-shelf Sahara to see if the 200 Series is still an off-road champion.

This is a reliable and overbuilt go anywhere vehicle with just enough features to remain reliable and comfortable. The only possible overlap with Range Rover and other so called luxury SUVs is the price...this is where they part ways Where the others compete for luxury, this legacy SUV fills its own niche with attraction that only a Land Cruiser lover can appreciate. I grew up with an FJ40 and FJ62 and now drive this LC200 and love the legacy and appreciate the fact that this could be my last V8 SUV and may even outlast me. My 20 something son has suggested this could be part of his inheritance. That alone is worth the price to play!
yes, worth every penny
Awesome car, been tip of Cape York crossing all river on OTT, as well as Vic high country tracks, didnt miss a beat once and extremely capable
Just got brand new land cruiser Sahara 2020 for aud 159990 . Literally searched everywhere as limited stock here in Aus as no more V8 production. Paid a lot of money but hopefully I will be happy in the future. Wished I had bought few months ago🙁
What a good review thanks
The people who designed the appearance of this beauty, did it a great justice. It's so beautiful 😍 and at the same time dominant on the road.
Enjoyed the review Crafty. Important question, I bet you can do a ripper Bill ‘Got ‘im!!’ Lawry impression - maybe on the next podcast you join in?
Great car.. ordinary review
🎬100 series vs 200 series compared, Which to buy?: ua-cam.com/video/GVy_L7peHK8/v-deo.html
Nothing like my old 100series turbo diesel
Definitely agree with the over priced tag. For that kind of money you would expect the interior of a Rang Rover. Would buy if money wasn’t a issue but for the average Joe, I would just stick to the GXL.
the ideal off-roader
Agree with you,I will get a gx, I like the pipe beside the right front door 🤣
@Christophe that's strange. My 2008 GX has push button start. And it's the V6 model with cloth seats and no moon roof.
driving around with the wipers on?
Its a win in my books
best trim depends on what you use it for
I own the LC200 2013 LUX+ / full spec. Well I would not buy a new one for sure since in EU it costs 100k EUR. That said, I gladly paid half for a used one. Its not as luxurious as other brands but that is hardly the point here. I also own Prado and Hilux (from new) and those are very different vehicles. I'd say that Prado is the best car for EU of tho whole lot. Also price for the new is somewhat justifiable. And the reason I own mostly Yotas ? I am no fool in terms of "something being indestructible". But there is this thing that it will never leave you on the side of the road. Modern cars leave you with nothing but a phone number to call a assistance. Yotas always allow you to limp to the shop :-). That said, I did not have to change a lightbulb on either of the three yet (since I maintain them meticulously).
How much ... bought in kenya
I love yotas... true it is a never walk alone
LC200 brand in Kenya is $190,000, Prada 2020 goes for $160,000 and Hilux 3.0CC 2017 cost $66,000, Hilux 2.8CC 2019=$700,000 and incoming Hilux 2021 to be around $800,000 to $900,000. Too expensive in third world countries. Where do third world countries get all that money? I own Hilux 3.0CC 2017 make and it’s very good, 3Yrs at 38,000KM in mileage
I don't own a LC200. I however own a 2014 Corolla. I have done 155,000 kms, on it, other than schedule service, there has been no problem at all, nothing at all. Reliability is where some of the money goes. If it isn't good, the resale vale would drop big time.
LC 200 Sahara, best value all round family country vehicle. Worth more now than when purchased in 2021. Went for a wiz in the LC 300 to see if we wanted to upgrade…. No chance of that, it was quite different, but just didn’t stack up to the 200.
Folk banging on about the euro family 4x4’s having better tech, see how that works for you in 5 years!
He is keep moving,his body is rolling
What would be the next closest 4wd 8 seater with similar specs? and diesel.
Am impressed.. you did it well... am in kenya ... i need one like it .. of 2016/2017 ⛽ gas how much can it cost me...RHS drive
I’ve a 2017 VX. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. As a tow vehicle it’s absolutely fantastic.
What did you have before, a Camry??
Sure would’ve been nice to get that 4.5 L V8 diesel here in the US.
My best car
Very reliable vehicle
Thank-you for the honest review and the honest test. I really do think that it is over priced, especially considering the off-road capabilities. It comes in at US$155,000 in my market and I am buying from Zimbabwe and I honestly do not see enough to justify paying and extra US$75,000 on this car. I believe that there are cars that will offer me the off roading capabilities I need without the premium price tag. I have to agree with you, for what it worth there should be something more to add it there.
i like big bonnets in a suv they give me feeling of safety.
Have they sorted the 6 speed auto and lockup?
This car has been basically unchanged for 13 years.
If it aint broke, don't fix it.
rooster cockburn soo you mean never upgrade ever
@@jonathanbenitoandrew3933 We've had a 200 series, 2008 Model, since 2008. Lol, used and abused, only thing we've had issues with, is the bolts coming loose for the lightbar, the thing is almost flawless. Fast, Fuel efficient (for what it is), comfy, and has the power. 10/10 car. Would buy again.
Danky Darron pre dpf , now they have issues
Michael Parr what year did dpf arrive in?
hit the cost/value barrier
I bought a new one two years ago. Sold after a year not all that impressed to be honest apart from the re sale value.
Onya Crafty. I'm starting to really like the 200 series. I used to think for the price, there were other cars I prefer over it. But now, hmmmm. Though I wouldn't trade-in my beloved 1996 80 Series Landcruiser GXL for it.
They would only give you 10k for it, bustards
There are some features , like all manufacturers that Toyota bundle with the upmarket badge that I don’t want, but some that are really important to me. The Sahara is overkill but if I was in the market for a 200 series, I would get the Sahara but with some apprehension.
buy a used one like from 2011 same thing . In asia ppl facelift them
Believe or not, LC200 is now the best car in the market.😎
In the US a 2020 brand new is close to 90k
Really gotta wear out the wiper blades when its barely sprinkling rain?
They can't make it too plush, otherwise would take sales away from the Lexus LX450d.
A Sahara is better specced than the Lexus LX450d. The LX450d doesn't have the following things found in the Sahara: 2nd fuel tank, sunroof, ventilated seats (only heated in the Lexus) and no 3rd row seats, multimedia entertainment screens, which I consider as big ticket items. Australian LX450d also miss out on the Mark Levinson premium sound system but it does have height adjustable suspension, retractable 2nd row window blinds that the 200 Series Sahara does not.
Same thing just a hellof lot more expensive for a name.... Lexuuuuuus. Not worth it.
Does it even have android/apple integration yet? As he said, it is a very old design and very dated.
I've done a lot of 4wding and touring in my GU/GQ patrols. The 200 is more comfortable but gosh that difference in price is hard to stomach.
The V6 TD might be worth a look if it addresses issues like the low slung alternator (fails when full of mud) and horrific maintenance costs over time.
I don't even like SUVs but I would totally get a Land Cruiser if I could afford one. It would be the only (and probably last) car I'd ever need.
Beautiful truck, too rich for my blood. I’ll stick to my #FZJ80
Me too - I love my '95 - have a few things to do to it but it is great which I am sure your's is as well
USD 200K in Indonesia
I argree with you..its too costly but i will still go ahead and get one ..inly because i still think..its built to last a much longer time than most vehicles
People who say the car is overpriced, unreliable or grabage, have you owned one? have you tried one? Those LC will even survive the apocalypse and will still run strong.
Ask yourself why they're so popular and even made special for the middle East market. The Sahara spec in Australia is the base spec in the middle East, think about that.
My rant of the day!
Well said..
Because of dpf issues
@@abovethelaw4417 got rid of dpf then it'll be bullet prove. The earlier ones have turbos and pistons issues. They fix that until 2016 they beef engine up again to add in some extra strength for dpf. So really if u buy the 2016 n off with dpf it will really last as its the strongest of its kind.
The Limited Edition LANDCRUISER Sahara Horizon also don’t have CarPlay.
I Love you Toyota Land Cruiser LC 200.💪🏼👍❤️
Fantastic technology for 1980. Does anyone use DVDs anymore?
You do know DVD’s didn’t exist in the 80’s. Try doing some research.
@@stevendouglas6593 ever heard of sarcasm
I own a 2008 diesel VX. Same as the Sahara with leather seats but without a few bells and whistles, no fridge, different suspension and less buttons that you don’t use anyway. Engine blew up at 175,000. Ouch. I’ve now fitted an after market air filter and 2 additional fuel filters (yes all fuel is triple filtered now) and a water trap. Car cost me $55,000, got the gst back, spent $18,000 on the reco engine changeover. It’s now at 350,000 and I reckon somebody would still give me $40,000ish for it. So even with the new engine I’ve only lost maybe $25,000 which is pretty amazing over 6 years and 200,000kms. They are overpriced. The interior was outdated in 2008. Mechanically its been great and I suspect it was dodgy fuel in rural Vic that cooked the engine. It tows anything and has taken a generation of Victoria’s junior basketballers all over the state. All that said we just purchased a 3year old Touareg which tows things better and is SO much better to drive than the cruiser. Time will tell what the maintenance bill is and resale will be horrible.
i never heard of sahara version but big V8 4.7liter?? i thought 5.7 liters V8 are the big one
Helal Saif 5.7L is not available for RHD.
the last of the V8's. The 2020 will hold its value very well and for that reason it should be considered. 300 series are supposed to be 140K for the Sahara and if the front of them looks like the pics ive seen they are fugly.
And the 2020 hilux is outdated the day it was released. There is a trend with Toyota's
Nice 4x4 to climb the shopping center ramp
And maybe some mountain creek rocky road simulation using speed bumps :P
Well ya didn’t sell that at all
How about Diesel???? Bi-Turbo 3.0 V6 or Quad Turbo 3.0 V6?
V8 Diesel haha he is wrong
It's not a vw Caravelle, why are you complaining about 3rd row seats?
Think of it this way. That third row is a 70's design.Flip up to the side. Rattles, eat up a lot of cargo space, is not comfortable, knees up sitting, and if you flip up the second row, there is no full length flat floor,and Call it pit where the second row was.30 Years went pass, and you pay an extremely, rather... Outrages price for it in 2020.A dam good vehicle it is, but its allso a rip off.
9,5L/100km thats a great fuel consumption. Here in Europe we have 3.0L 4 cylinder diesel engine with the same or new 2.8L in Hilux with 10.2L/100km. So if it will be 11L for 200 v8 still is better data. I have land cruiser 100 4.7 V8 with 14-16L 😞
If i had the money i would buy the 200 and the 70 series single cab and not have to worry about buying another car/truck for the next 10years. I dnt really care about the creature comfort stuff like heated\cooled seats....android auto or apple car play etc i just want something thats not gonna fall after 50k kilometers.
$125k and no apple play. Why?
$127k for a toyota truck?
Oh boy, what is the Australian government doing to you folks!
Parts of the world see this as a luxury car for sure but to truly traverse the unforgiven inland in Oceania you NEED this truck.
Also the Hilux and D-Max are good to but not comparable
Beautiful truck.
This is a 4wd or car not a "truck"
If you are looking for trucks then go to the Isuzu website and gawk all over those trucks.
@@SugmaDick a Ford Ecosport is also a 4wd car and most definitely not comparable to the Land Cruiser.
The difference between cars and trucks are essentially the frame its built on. Unibody cars are light, use less steel, focus on fuel economy and handle better. Truck chassis on the other hand are body on frame meaning better heavy duty applications, vibration, torque and payload.
A Land Cruiser is body in frame, made to carry weight, get out of sticky situations and with independent wishbone suspension it is made to go over rough terrain and therefore most definitely a truck.
I see where you are coming from though. Here in North America the term SUV didn't apply until the lines between cars and trucks got ambiguously blurred giving birth to the useless thing that is the CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle)
If I was talking about a truck in your sense then yes I would refer to a pickup truck.
Also really like the DMax and Hilux as well! We don't get those over here.
🤙🏽
Outch, that must have heard
Ahh yes the range rover of South Africa
What’s the difference between a moonroof and a sunroof?
Moon roof is when your roof almost entirely made up of glass and it cannot be fully opened.
Sunroof is only a small section and its usually upfront in the front passenger's seat area and it can be fully opened.
@@picanha694 So he has called this a moon roof when it is actually a sunroof in the video. Nice way to confuse people LOL.
Moonroof is Toyota’s term for a sunroof (nothing more than that)
Luke Kownacki
Ah thanks that makes sense!
One is when you drive at night, and the same one when you drive in Daylight. 5555555
I cant believe ppl willing to pay 100k for a decade year old car. This badly needing a new replacement.
Two decades
They should lower the price to 20k and it would be worth it
Nothing short of a rip off... car brands in australia have to stop taking the piss
They need to lower the price
Massive bellend
Ricardo Moran i know! Such a rip off!
Yep definitely a 'Toyota' tax on it.
I know it is a reliable car, but $125K for basically a super old car, it is a LOT to ask for. You can a way more modern car (like a Ranger or Hilux) for half price, add all accessories available in the market and it will still come cheaper than this, with a better package overall. The V8 does not justify it.
Can you Imagine people buy it and don't care the price. I'm also in the process.
Odd review.
With such a large n’ expensive SUV, Toyota failed to give Apple CarPlay. Don’t know if they will ever update for otherwise satisfied customers.
What does Apple car play have to do with anything in time it will be Dormant , no longer in service like the ipod classic and other Apple products
Apple CarPlay?? Who gives a crap!
You are not buying a Land Cruiser for luxury, but the ability to climb.............I guess~~
Unfortunately most does, and never see even a grass patch.You know,.... A fool and his money.
It may not be pretty and not worth the money. But trust me, you won't spend a dollar for some good years. This car is built to last
Where does all the money go?
Genuine question.
@@Owen4368 I mean like, why is it so expensive?
Have they got some super advanced metallurgy or something?
@@Owen4368 I see
in Australia a massive chunk goes to tax - stamp duty, GST, luxury car tax. Remove all the tax and it's well priced
@@bayoubarry4477 "tax"
Bruh, in Pakistan you can buy 5-6 Fortuners for one Land cruiser.
Because LandCruiser's big engine volume and it being 100% imported, instead of locally made, parts.
And yet many people still buy the cruisers, which to me is utter insanity at this price difference. Even if i had crazy money.
anyway, I just want Pajero sports exceed to start production in Pakistan, as I believe its the best bang for buck in proper SUVs.
It’s a great vehicle but overpriced. Those consumption figures aren’t accurate. Gx or have a look at the Nissan Patrol..a great alternative.
Secepatnya punya mobil ini dan keluaran paling terbaru amin
Toyota are making a big mistake getting rit of the v8 I will not buy another one now
They aren’t and there is a load of poor information here probably the worst review...This looks and sounds like they threw the keys to a bloke out of work and said let us know your biased information
Luke Kownacki are you sure when I brought my 200 last year they said by 2021 there will be no more v8 and they are going to a v6 🤷♂️
Wilbur um no they will change it for the 22 model but i heard rumors that it might be delayed due to the virus for some reason
Wilbur btw look at my pfp we reppin
This is only time you’ll see one of these off-road
Nah bro, these cars are made for off-road. In South Africa they are bought because they are bullet proof and umbeatable offroaders.
King of Toyota =124k
More like $130k
Saharas are a waist of money i laugh every time I see one . GXL and some quality aftermarket gear is where its at
I own a Sahara it fantastic extremely comfortable for the family great off road great mods for the kids inside yes it’s not worth the money at all but I like it 🤷♂️
@@william6815 if crome strip's heated seats and a fridge that only runs while the car is on is your thing then that's cool
So leather only in the Sahara? No other models?
Michael Parr nah the vx has leather
They make different models for different price ranges. Plenty of people dont notice the extra 40k
Not an imp
Such a poor review and the camera angles when 4-wheeling could not have been worst if someone got paid to the worst job possible. Shame, cause the car deserves better
i think ill stick to the old 60 thanks
she only be a 2h with 240 Nm give or take , 30 odd years old
but she goes and id take a 60 over a 200 any day of the week
Most of you lot must just consider Germany brands .
European cars are very nice too, though i would much rather trade a Landcruiser when the time comes. At least they are still worth something .
Tech in this car isn’t enough for what you’re paying
Nothing new here ...🙄
Seriously who uses the 3rd row seats apart for toddlers. The LCruser has ample space./
To all the wannabes own one then you won’t make these ridiculous comments.....
I did own one for a year not that impressed.
@@stendecstretcher4983 why
Absolute rip off.unreliable with dusting problems and injector failures.very average off road compared to a stock y62 patrol and 30+k more expensive.the patrols petrol v8 runs circles around the oil burner and fuel consumption is within 5l p100klm.wait for the 300 and hope Toyota stop taking the piss with the price
Love all the wannabes saying its overpriced blah blah blah that's because you can't afford it 🤣. Two things, that review wasn't great and 2. the resale and off-road capability of these things is awesome there's a reason why majority of tourers tow with these things.
Yes we all know about the petrol Patrol, I've driven both and my LC200 Sahara is by far a wayyyyy better car to drive.
@@jonathanbenitoandrew3933 riiiiiiiigggghhht
Your entitled to your opinion do you have a beard?
🤣🤣🤣
Best thing on em is the clever third row seating arrangement and the 600kg payload 🤣
@@dolf3288 and the resale compared to others... making money on 200s
For this price point, Land Rover Defender would be better off than LC.
British cars are junk and land cruiser is overpriced
Until trade in time .
Anonymous, are you for real? If you make the claim back it up and tell us why. I live in Australia and LandCruisers are way overpriced but there is a reason every second car touring the outback is a LandCruiser. Reliability. Every year we still get tourists that just don’t understand this country and how big, empty and dangerous it can be. They go out, on their own and I’ll prepared. They break down. Then they die. It happens every year.
In Australia reliability is king. And if you want to see a man cry go with him when he tries to trade or sell the Defender in five years.
Had 2 Land Rovers. Now have a 2016 Landcruiser 200. They are like “chalk & cheese”. With LR had heaps of problems. Things falling apart, generally breaking etc. The LC is solid, reliable and way more powerful. No more LR for me!
@@gregwilson9035 Good for you Greg, I think you made a good decision. I see plenty of Land Rover/ Range Rovers around town but once you get away from the city they become very thin on the ground.
Boring I wish they would get somebody on actually knows what the hell you talking about
2 bad we are push to give up the fosil fuels now, due the big lie we, the small guy, create global warming! What alternative we have!?
4WD without straight axles, well, meh.
Paying 125k for the name “land cruiser” it sounds like
Overpriced 😢
Over priced, it’s a biased favourite car, nothing more. Sold mine after 2 years. Boring car to look at and to drive. Not knocking it’s quality, great quality, but just a clunk of ugly lines to look at with that high expense. Just my opinion of course.
All the Soccer mums will be licking there lips
Plastic heap. Way way over priced.
Way too expensive! I could get two SsangYong Rexton Ultimates for the same money which match and better the LC in most aspects.
Resale value is key mate and reliable
موسى the LC only gives you 5 year warranty to start with unlike SsangYong 7 and resale is relative remembering what you paid for it in he first place mate
@@Hope2421 You'd need 2, so that you had something to drive when the other one is in the workshop getting fixed under warranty
SsangYong? Lolol. Whatever :/
@@Hope2421 incorrect Toyota offer 7 year warranty also
Ugly, not much changed.
The design is very good . The price is the problem
Over priced and under powered. How most Aussies like their Toyotas.
Almost 400 hp and over 400 torque is under powered?
@@freedomrider266 almost 400hp? 200kw/268hp isn't even close. If you're going to argue get your facts right. It even has the power figures in the video. Hope you don't exaggerate like that with the ladies, they'll be disappointed.
@@el-angel-1337 so you have a 2020 landcruiser?
