The 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser is an excellent vehicle for those who have the spirit of adventure. The vehicle is versatile, has exceptional performance and off-roading capabilities, convenient technology, and a comfortable design. Let’s take a closer look at the top four reasons to own a 2020 Land Cruiser!

Versatility
The 2020 Land Cruiser has two trims that you can choose from. The first is the regular Land Cruiser and the second is the Heritage Edition. The Land Cruiser trim has seating for eight passengers while the Heritage Edition can seat five. The second row has 40/20/40 split-folding seats that tumble so adjusting the seats in the second-row is easy to do. These seats are also heated for ultimate comfort. The third row consists of 50/50 split, fold-down seats.

Comfort
The 2020 Land Cruiser is packed with features that make your drive comfortable and convenient. It comes standard with a four-zone automatic front and rear climate control, so everyone will be comfortable inside the vehicle, no matter where they’re sitting! There are multistage heated and ventilated seats that are also power-adjustable. The steering wheel is leather-trimmed and heated.

Performance
Standard on the Land Cruiser is a 5.7-liter V-8 engine. This engine has 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. This engine uses Dual Independent Variable Valve Timing with intelligence as well as an Acoustic Control Induction System to maximize the power that the Land Cruiser uses in the rpm range. The engine works together with an eight-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission to ensure efficient power delivery throughout different conditions. You can also use the sequential shift mode so you can select gears manually if you want more control.

Off-Roading Technology
The Land Cruiser is designed for off-roading. It comes with features such as an independent double-wishbone suspension with coil springs, a stabilizer bar, and a four-link rear suspension with coil springs. There is a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System that keeps optimal traction for your vehicle, no matter the terrain. When the system is activated, it automatically disconnects the sway bar and adjusts the system for better traction. There are also skid plates that reinforce the vehicle to protect the undercarriage of the SUV, as well as a Torsen limited-slip differential.
To help you while off-road, there is a multi-terrain monitor that uses cameras to identify potential trouble in your immediate surroundings. You can see views of the front, rear, and side on the 9-inch navigation screen inside your vehicle. When you know the terrain you’re dealing with, you can use the multi-terrain select and choose whether you want to drive on rock, rock and dirt, mogul, loose rock, and mud and sand so that you have optimal driving performance. For really tough terrain, the Land Cruiser has Crawl Control, an advanced system that automatically modulates the throttle and brakes.
These are just a few of the reasons why you should own a 2020 Land Cruiser. For more information about this SUV, you can visit FOX Toyota of El Paso and schedule a test drive in your favorite of the 2020 Land Cruiser trims.
