Design and Exterior – A Nod to the Classic, Reimagined

The 2024 Land Cruiser brings back the boxy silhouette reminiscent of earlier models like the 70 Series. This retro-inspired styling gives it an authentic off-road feel, while updated LED lighting, wider stance, and a more modern grille align with current design trends.

  • Dimensions: Shorter and narrower than the outgoing LC300, improving maneuverability.
  • Ground Clearance: Approx. 221 mm – excellent for Kenyan terrain.
  • Rims: 18″ or 20″ alloy wheels (depending on trim)
  • Colors: Sand, Black, White Pearl, Army Green, etc.

Visual Appeal: It’s designed for those who want both prestige and ruggedness.


Interior & Comfort – Functional Meets Futuristic

Toyota focused on functional luxury inside the 2024 Land Cruiser. While it’s not ultra-premium like the Land Cruiser 300 or Lexus LX, it still offers:

  • Durable materials (leatherette or fabric depending on trim)
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen (with Android Auto & Apple CarPlay)
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • 5- or 7-seater options available

There’s plenty of headroom and legroom, even for rear passengers, and the cargo space is generous — perfect for long trips upcountry or family travel.


Performance & Engine Specs – Built for Adventure

Unlike the fuel-guzzling V8s of the past, the 2024 Land Cruiser embraces efficiency without sacrificing capability.
