Why it stands out

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a big, no-nonsense 4x4 that arrived in Britain in 2009 and was replaced by an all-new model in 2024. It comes as a three-door SUV or five-door SUV, and most versions offer seven seats. There has always been a diesel engine, and the lead 3.0-litre D-4D diesel is tough and reliable, even if it is crude and noisy. With the rear seats folded away, the five-door has 640 litres of boot space, while the three-door is more limited with the third row in place.

It is solidly put together, but the cabin does not have the plush, upmarket ambience of many rival 4x4s. On the road it feels ponderous and unwieldy, with vague steering, lots of body roll and limited grip if you push on. Fuel economy is also poor, with the 3.0-litre diesel officially rated at 34.9mpg, though real-world figures can be lower.

Best for: Buyers who want a tough, reliable 4x4 for regular off-road use and value practicality over polish.

Not ideal for: Drivers who want a comfortable, refined SUV for mostly road use.

The verdict

You should buy this car if: you need a durable 4x4 that is happiest off road and you value reliability above cabin luxury or on-road comfort.

Consider alternatives if: you want a big SUV that is more comfortable and more rounded on the road.

Competitive position: The Land Cruiser is not the best choice if your driving is mainly on tarmac, and a Land Rover Discovery or Audi Q7 will suit that brief better. It makes far more sense as a rugged workhorse for regular off-road use, where its toughness and durability matter most. If you want a big 4x4 that few manufacturers still build in this form, it remains a strong shortlist choice.
