“Both in the tail and in the mane” - the toughest test drive of the new Toyota Land Cruiser 2024

A beautiful and high-status Toyota Land Cruiser SUV remains a pipe dream for many. And it’s not that there’s no money to buy it—it’s just that the toy is too expensive to maintain. Therefore, to see this (and even the latest 2024 model series) off-road is a great success. And here the driver is not just anyone, but the real Matt Watson, who “ate the dog” in the matter of “squeezing” out of cars everything that the car is capable of. To get started, the presenter will carefully study everything new that has appeared in this year’s Land Cruiser.


And the first thing that catches your eye inside the cabin is the realm of the analog interface. Just exactly like in the cars of the 90s. Everything is controlled using buttons and switches, no “wiggling” the display with your finger. But such a return to the past may not be a tribute to fashion, but rather a necessity. Because the 2024 Land Cruiser can safely be called the “king” of off-road, and off-road the driver’s hands can get dirty - it will be difficult to switch suspension modes.

But Matt Watson has no problem with this! Do you want to ride along a “crossroads” in the forest at a speed of 100 km/hour? Please! Dive into half a meter of mud or climb a rocky slope? Mat drives the “new guy”, as they say, “in the tail and in the mane,” without compassion or even a hint of mercy. In general, I have a blast. And it’s better to see it for yourself, especially since the video blog “carwow Russian version” provided us with such an opportunity!
