Toyota Land Cruiser review - Interior & comfort

The Toyota Land Cruiser’s ethos of no-nonsense usability off-road is reflected inside, where it feels sturdy and well-built. The materials are hard-wearing and durable, but still feel fairly stylish, so the cabin’s solidity doesn’t make it feel completely soulless. When we tested it there were no creaks or rattles from interior trim, which is especially important in a car that’s constantly travelling over rough terrain. It’s clear that lots of thought has gone into the interior, and there are even knee pads and padded door shoulders to keep passengers from getting injured in case of particularly rough terrain throwing them around the cabin.

Is the Toyota Land Cruiser’s infotainment and navigation system easy to use?

We liked the Land Cruiser’s balance of physical and on-screen controls that felt easy to use. Most controls on a Land Rover Defender are accessed through its touchscreen for a minimalist look, but in the Land Cruiser also gets a chunky knob on the centre console to toggle these features on or off, as well as switches around the cabin that Toyota says are easy to use without taking your eyes off the road. The infotainment screen itself will be offered in either eight or 12.3-inch sizes and is positioned high up so it’s easy to see when driving.

Is the Toyota Land Cruiser well equipped?

The Toyota Land Cruiser is yet to get confirmed standard equipment and trim levels, but we’d expect the range to start with that smaller eight-inch infotainment screen. We will keep updated with the latest developments to decide whether it’s well equipped as standard as soon as specifications are confirmed.

What options should you choose on the Toyota Land Cruiser?

As with trim levels, optional equipment is yet to be confirmed, but we’d expect the Land Cruiser to be offered with rugged off-road focused accessories to help tackle anything you can throw at it and tailor it for a variety of scenarios.
