The Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 is a top-tier SUV, ideal for Kenyan buyers seeking luxury, off-road prowess, and reliability. This model, introduced in 2021, is built on the GA-F platform and features the new V35A-FTS 3.5L twin-turbo V6 petrol engine, offering a refined yet powerful driving experience. With its spacious 7-seat configuration, the LC300 suits families and executives who frequently travel upcountry or need a dependable vehicle for both urban and rural settings. Its robust 4WD system and high ground clearance make it particularly well-suited for Kenya's diverse terrains.
The LC300 maintains Toyota's reputation for durability, though it's a new model with limited long-term data. The engine and transmission are robust, but electronic components require careful handling to avoid issues.
While the LC300 is generally reliable, its advanced systems and electronics mean service should be done by experienced mechanics familiar with the model. Regular maintenance is crucial, especially for the turbocharged engine, with intervals slightly shorter than older models.
