King Of The Road And The Off-road
The Land Cruiser 79 is built to get you where you’re going, no matter where that is. All Land Cruiser 79 models are all wheel drive and feature a 4-position 4-wheel drive transfer lever to give the driver maximum control. Making its debut in the Land Cruiser 70 Series, is Toyota’s celebrated 2.8-litre four-cylinder GD diesel powerplant, cranking out 150kW of power between 3 000 and 3 400rpm and an effortless 500Nm of torque between 1 600 and 2 800rpm, which is exclusively paired with a lightweight, high-efficiency six-speed auto transmission and manual transmission. The Double Cab Land Cruiser 79 is also offered in a 4.2-litre naturally aspirated diesel engine that delivers 94kW at 3 800rpm and 285Nm at 2 200rpm and a 4.0-litre petrol engine that puts out 170kW at 5 200rpm and torque of 360Nm at 3 800rpm. Whatever your preference, you can’t go wrong with the Master of Africa.
Design
Redesigned & Redefined
The Land Cruiser 79 double cab wears a bold, new front fascia with retro-inspired looks that hark back to the original model. Classic circular headlights and LED foglamps complement the new bonnet, front wheel arches, bumper and grille that proudly displays Toyota across it. Prominent side indicators complete the front redesign. The wheel surface coating has been changed to dark grey metallic paint, while the bumper and grille has been redesigned to feature a black finish – all reinforcing the sense of solidity on all models. The Land Cruiser 79 double cab looks as good as it performs.
Interior
Classic With Convenience
The wonderfully traditional Land Cruiser 79 double cab interior retains all its functionality with standard items like air conditioning and electric windows (one-touch for the driver), but with a few distinctly modern touches. The double cab features Bluetooth. All 2.8-litre models in the range get a new front console as part of the automatic transmission package. The Land Cruiser 79 double cab’s interior maintains its classic style, while adding convenience to match the modern world.
Features
New Engine Option. Still the Master
The Land Cruiser 79 is further enhanced with the addition of Toyota’s much respected and more fuel-efficient, 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine and, for the first time ever, the Land Cruiser 79 is available in a six-speed auto transmission and manual transmission.
Explore Everywhere
The Land Cruiser 79 double cab has a ground clearance of 235mm above, allowing the vehicle to sail over obstacles with confidence, making it easy for you to explore everywhere.
Ensuring Safety on Any Terrain
Driver and front passenger airbags are standard on the Land Cruiser 79 double cab, while the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) prevents wheels from locking up when driving on slippery surfaces and the standard rear differential provides extra traction for the rear-wheels to help you negotiate out of sticky situations. For security and peace of mind, all models are now fitted with an alarm/immobiliser system. Further driver support systems in the form of Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD), Hill Assist Control (HAC), Traction Control (TRC), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Brake Assist (BA) and Downhill Assist Control (DAC) come standard on 2.8 models.
