Don’t be surprised when the two-tonne, four-litre, four-wheel-drive proves expensive to fuel. The diesel is noticeably easier on the pocket and keeps its value better too although all models resist depreciation quite well.

Land Cruiser is a polluting model. With an average of 260 g/km CO2 across the model line-up, its emissions are quite high for a large 4×4. However, it’s worth noting that the line up has a high number of diesel models, bringing the average down and giving buyers more choices of low-emission versions. Diesels typically produce less CO2 than petrol engines with similar power outputs.

The range is quite thirsty, averaging 28 mpg.

This one is unlikely to turn work shy on you. It’s pretty much unstoppable and Toyota are unlikely to let a mechanical or electrical gremlin spoil the fun. Previous Land Cruiser Colorado gave very few problems and quality does not appear to have slipped.
