Car reviews

Not to be mistaken with the regular Land Cruiser, the Land Cruiser V8 replaces the Land Cruiser Amazon as Toyota’s top off-roader. A seven-seater with an imposing bulk that shades a VW Touareg or Land Rover Defender, it compares with the very biggest in the class, the Range Rover, Mercedes GL and Audi Q7. But, this is no gymkhana showboat for the public school run. It is built to conquer the toughest conditions and with Toyota’s legendary reliability, it is probably the ultimate choice for those who want, not only to go to the ends of the earth, but to get back again too.
