The 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser comes with features designed to keep you safe and comfortable even when you decide to go off-road. If you’re looking for a new SUV, take the 2017 Land Cruiser for a test drive and notice these four awesome features while you’re behind the wheel.
Plenty of Technology for Your Drive
The 2017 Land Cruiser comes with an integrated navigation system to help you find the shortest, fastest route to your destination. The infotainment system has a 9-inch touchscreen display that makes it easy for you to control every aspect of your experience without taking your eyes off the road.
The new Land Cruiser uses an Entune app suite that connects to your smartphone to stream music and find restaurants. It even lets you buy movie tickets. With this suite of apps, you stay connected no matter where you travel.
A Variety of Impressive Safety Features
Toyota has loaded the new Land Cruiser with features to keep you and your passengers safe. The SUV comes standard with 10 airbags that are positioned to protect everyone in the vehicle during a collision. Toyota even includes roll-sensing side-curtain airbags. While it’s unlikely that the Land Cruiser will roll over, if it does, you’ll have protection from an airbag that few vehicles carry.
Other important safety features to consider when buying a Land Cruiser include Toyota’s blind spot monitoring system, rear cross-traffic alert, and the Star Safety System. The Star Safety System, which comes standard, offers a suite of advanced safety features like active traction control, electronic brake-force distribution, and brake assist.
An Incredibly Comfortable Interior
The Land Cruiser uses a 40/20/40 split rear seat configuration that can carry up to eight passengers comfortably. When you need extra room for cargo, just fold down some of the chairs. With an 81.7-cubic foot cargo capacity, you’ll always have plenty of room for groceries, luggage, and camping gear.
No matter where you sit, the Land Cruiser will make you feel at home. A four-zone automatic climate control lets passengers choose settings that match their preferences. Ventilated and heated seats add to the experience. Whether it’s winter or summer, everyone feels comfortable.
The Land Cruiser even comes with a rear-seat DVD entertainment system that comes in handy during long drives with the kids.
The Perfect Amount of Power
A 5.7-liter V8 engine gives the 2017 Land Cruiser 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque. When properly equipped, the Land Cruiser can handle a maximum payload of 1,510 pounds or a maximum towing capacity of 8,100 pounds. In other words, you’ll have more than enough power to tow a large boat. Of course, all that power also means you can tackle off-road conditions without getting stuck.
Toyota designs each new version of the Land Cruiser to exceed expectations. This year, the Land Cruiser has more awesome features than ever. Once you experience them, you’ll want to make the new Land Cruiser a part of your family.
