I bought my Land cruiser in 2018, it is basically a 2016 model and it was imported into Pakistan 2017, at that time the car was worth approximately 18 million and the registration of the car was 5-10 lakhs which makes a total of  19 million Approx. The Land Cruiser generally known by as the V8 in Pakistan is a very powerful and luxury Machine, people in Pakistan generally keep the land cruiser as a show of power and money. The land cruiser is a perfect Family car; a family of 5 can easily adjust in the car and could enjoy their ride in pure luxury

The Land cruiser 200 comes under the category of a SUV (sport utility vehicle)

As the car is imported the price could depending upon the currency depreciation and the import policies of the government

 

Few things I love about the car

1.      The Power

The new 381-horsepower, 5.7-liter engine comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission and can tow up to 8,500 pounds, allowing you to tow practically any trailer. 

2.      Extravagance.

The Land Cruiser is a premium vehicle that not only has great driving ability. Soft material was added to the interior of the 2016 model, for example. On the two 10-inch displays in the back seat, passengers may watch whatever they like, and there's a wireless phone charger so you'll have a full charge when you arrive at your destination. The 2016 model even includes a fridge built into the centre console to keep your drinks cool while you drive.

These are just a handful of the reasons why the Toyota Land Cruiser is so popular. Although the 2016 model has some wonderful new features, the previous models still have everything you need for a thrilling off-road trip.

3.      Off-road capacities

The Land Cruiser is well-known for its off-road capability. The Land Cruiser is one of the best off-road vehicles for a variety of reasons. To begin with, it is equipped with Toyota's Kinetic Dynamic Suspension. When the car is travelling slowly in off-road settings, this allows it to employ more suspension, which automatically tightens when the conditions flatten out and the pace increases. Crawl Control is a unique mechanism on the Land Cruiser that tightens up the vehicle's turns when it's on a narrower road or path.

4.      The killer looks

The new 2017 Land Cruiser has been modified with a chrome grille and new headlamps. The LED daytime running lights increase your road safety. A lower front bumper and additional small fog lights are also included in the new model. A new bumper and LED tail lights have been added to the vehicle's back end. This enormous truck has plenty of room for both passengers and freight, and the seats can be folded down to make even more room for whatever heavy load you need to transport.

 

 

 Few improvement points I see in the car.

Rough problem

The LC 200 2016 has 8 gears to maintain its fuel economy so this causes the problem,when changing gears, the transmission tends to vibrate excessively. Upshifting and downshifting were both hampered. The issue could appear while driving at high RPMs or at moderate speeds.

Fuel economy

The SUV has 8 gears to provide a better fuel economy but still the average this SUV gives is around 5-7 kilometers per liter which is not quite just

 

Some features

1. New 8-Speed Automatic Transmission
2. Toyota Safety Sense-P with Pre-Collision System, Frontal Collision Avoidance and Pedestrian Protection
3. Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
4. Entune 2.5 Multimedia with Siri Eyes Free Mode and 9-inch Display
