It’s the ultimate off-road showdown: a sparkling new Toyota Land Cruiser goes head-to-head with a battle-hardened 15-year-old Range Rover in a quest to crown the true king of the wild!
In the fiercely competitive world of off-roaders, Toyota and Land Rover reign supreme. But here’s the burning question: Can the latest Land Cruiser outmuscle a seasoned, 15-year-old Range Rover when the terrain gets tough?
Let’s dive into the numbers and see how these two titans stack up!
First up, the Land Cruiser. Under the hood, a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel churns out 204hp and 500Nm of torque, all delivered to four driven wheels. Tipping the scales at 2,415kg, this brand-new beast comes with a hefty price tag—around £80,000 fresh from the showroom!
Next in the ring is the Range Rover—Sam’s personal pride and joy! Packing a muscular 3.6-litre twin-turbo V8 diesel, this legend pushes out 272hp and a colossal 640Nm of torque to all four wheels. It’s bulkier than the Toyota at 2,642kg, but here’s the kicker: Sam snapped it up for a jaw-dropping £5,000!
Both machines are kitted out with serious off-road gear, but is the Land Cruiser’s modern tech a step too far for the old-school Range Rover to handle? Stay tuned with Mat and Sam as they put these icons through their paces!
