Toyota Land Cruiser review: unstoppable in the worst UK weather
The Land Cruiser navigated flooded roads and high winds with confidence during Storm Claudia, showcasing its legendary capability and luxury in severe UK rural conditions.
- On Friday, November 14, the Toyota Land Cruiser arrived amid apocalyptic conditions as Storm Claudia hit, negotiating flooded roads on the A515 between Buxton and Ashbourne and outperforming most cars.
- Built on a 70-year lineage, the Toyota Land Cruiser has served as a desert and agricultural workhorse since the 1950s, and the new UK version lives up to that legend.
- The Land Cruiser's hardware includes a ladder-frame chassis with off-road systems, a well-suppressed four-pot turbodiesel engine, and a 360-degree camera system plus heated, ventilated front seats and large screens.
- During a 40-minute rural trip, the Land Cruiser conveyed the reviewer's wife, and Gareth Butterfield said he felt `invincible` despite calling it a `pricey beast`.
- For buyers and fleets, the storm test shows the Toyota Land Cruiser’s costly specs and tricky options, but its commercial version and strong performance attract prospective buyers needing extreme-weather capability.
