I have a 2020 Porsche Cayenne which is a very nice car all around. It’s not without its problems. I also have a 2024 GR which so far I’m in love with. Great on fuel, very comfortable to drive. If I drive either car too much they just become just another car because of familiarity. Both drive completely different (obviously) but they are what they are and both have things I don’t like and love. My message is buy a car and enjoy it and don’t nit pick it every time you drive it otherwise you will end up hating it. These so called expert car testers may have ulterior motives about the cars they offer opinions on. If you over analyse your potential purchase you will never like it if it falls short in any perceived aspect.

Agree 100% I love driving my LC300 GR, however, very displeased with infotainment and USB...and why put a flap to conceal usbs ports when you have use them, absolutely ridiculous. Toyota still old school car company. The BYD Seal was 1st released with USB carplay but after 3 mths remotely updated system to wifi FREE!. Btw, we have a 2015 Macan nice drive but way more expensive to own low kms but costly, repairs adblue system, front suspension only city driving. Overall no argument the porsches holding costs & sale value not a patch on cruisers, even prado. That said Toyota 6mths service interval on all diesels is BS. fixed price keeps costs down for 5 yrs. Toyota just trying to mitigate issues.

No car you buy is perfect, yet people buy vehicles that suit their needs and does what they want. The reason so many people buy the Landcruiser is that it may not do everything better than the rest, but the fact it does everything well is the reason for their sales. It has very good off road ability, it is reliable, it’s very fuel efficient, it tows 3500 kg, it drives well, it’s quick, it looks great and it’s versatile and has good resale value. There’s a lot of cars that do things better than the Landcruiser, but none that does it all. The defender may have better off road ability, but it doesn’t have reliability, the X-5 has better road manners, but it can’t go off road, the patrol is a good alternative but drinks fuel like a fish particularly around town, and in my opinion doesn’t look as good, the biggest gripe people seem to have is the price. The Bentayga is more than double the price, but people still buy them. Buy what you want and don’t worry about what others think as they don’t live your life and need what you do…..

Great review Matt. As a comparison, well sort of, 18 months ago I bought Nissan's best kept secret, a '23 R50 Pathfinder 4WD $65k. ST-L. not One problem. It's no rock hopper, but I didn't want heavy off road machine. Longer wheel base than a LC300 and wider track than a LC300. smoother ride, no jaw juddering back seat ride 😀, almost sort of sporty handling, 0-100ks 7 sec on 98 oct. around 7L/100k HWY. 14L/100k towing my 2000kg ATM caravan. GCM of 4500kg. Don't need a step ladder to get into. 8 seater, 9 speed close ratio ZF gearbox, Lowish final drive/Diff ratio. gets off the mark super quick, great for towing. Towing mode switch for the auto trans. No air bags or WDH ect needed for towing. All the latest safety stuff Apple car play ect ect.I can't think of another car I would rather own. At half the price or less than a LC300 it even looks great. I know you shouldn't compare to an LC , but as a retired mechanic and ex rally car driver back in the day, I just had to.

I noticed people buy these and complain. But never see them use the technology your paying for. Like Little things, the mirrors automatically turn down so you can see the rear wheels when you put in reverse, and all mirrors automatically dim when bright lights are behind you. The adaptive headlights, when you speed up the beam gets brighter and narrower, and has you slow down the lights spread, when you turn the lights turn so you can see father around the corner. And even when its on high beam it will sense a car and it will split the beam to avoid blinding the oncoming traffic. Being the GR when the wife is complaining about the bumps, could of used comfort mode. You can get the car to basically drive its self with adaptive crusie control, it will brake, accelerate, steer its self.

We replaced our landrover discovery with a GR sport, mainly to tow our caravan plus a bit of rougher road stuff. While it's a pretty good vehicle, the Discovery was a better drive both when towing and not towing. Handled better and the air suspension probably helped a lot too. Fuel economy was about 10% better.The disco and defender are much the same price. However the LC historically holds its value better and has a more reliable reputation for reliability. Given some of the issues I have read about with the LC 300 I am not sure about how much better it is for reliability. Time will tell. I provide this feedback to assist people, who may be looking at options.

Gawd. I was a rusted on toyota landcruiser man from the early 80s (see my landcruiser line up in profile), ive had them all. Had a 300 for 15,000k it drove me mad. Touch screen is shit, tailgate is shit… and on it goes. Bought a hilux with apple car play blah blah mainly to see if i can live with the 2.8/auto and guess what? I can. Can i justify a 70series or another 300? Pffft. I dunno. I think Toyota is taking the piss out of us. Still have my mint fj45 with 113,000k. A real landcruiser

There’s good reason 200 Series values haven’t dropped!!

Thanks Adam - infotainment system and design is a bit schizophrenic for me with no quick access rotary knobs - for me white is really the safest and best looking but get rid of all the bling Hungarian gift shop chrome trim - the top price of over $150k is insane and not long ago you could purchase a house for that - I own a Hilux but would look at a diesel Hyundai Sante Fe or Kia Sorrento - VW (née Audi/Skoda) are nice to drive but will eventually fall apart and expensive to service/maintain - Ford, Jeep, Mercedes, Land Rover and anything Chinese/US built are all rubbish so you’re really left with Japanese or South Korean in any market segment and journos know that.

We all love Toyota but they are seriously taking the piss now. I'll just her a tank 500 for half the price and 7 years warranty.

Toyota 4X4 vehicles are way overpriced they have been for a long time. You would have to believe all the myths and bullshit about them to buy one.😊

Which brand would you recommend?
@simonbates59393 ай бұрын
Tank 500 would be a much better option!
@buncha56513 ай бұрын
@perpetualgrin5804 There are many better options, especially the GWM Tank 300 or 500 at half the price.

Well it’s Toyota, you can take that anywhere but would you take that risk with a Tank?
@sidjyothi3 ай бұрын
Yes, plenty of people have been doing that across australia and the tank has held up just fine. Reliability is a selling point for the toyotas but its ridiculous how overpriced they are and how annoying it is to wait 2 years to get one...really stupid @SunnyS2711

Straight outta China 🇨🇳 😂 No, not for me that TANK for your resale values are going to tank. And apples 🍎 with apples 🍎 that Tank's drive train is not up to LC300 spec. TOYOTA reliability and resale all the way ❤
