GR-S Toyota Land Cruiser 300 gets proper power upgrade
A 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine paired with Toyota's compact HEV system offers up 341kW and 790Nm.
Toyota Gazoo Racing has introduced a powerful upgrade to the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 GR-S range. This new offering, the 3.5T GR-S HEV model, promises increased power and torque while enjoying improved fuel efficiency. The 3.3D version currently on sale boasts a 3.3-liter V6 twin-turbo diesel engine, delivering 225kW and 700Nm of torque.
In contrast, the upcoming 3.5T GR-S HEV will feature a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo petrol engine capable of producing 305kW and 650Nm of torque. The hybrid system is expected to enhance fuel consumption to an impressive 10.0 litres per 100 km, compared to the current 8.9 litres for the 3.3D version. This development marks the most powerful Toyota Land Cruiser 300 to date, potentially paving the way for future Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) models.
Glenn Crompton, Vice President of Marketing at TSAM, highlights that the HEV technology maintains the Land Cruiser's legendary off-road capabilities while catering to modern performance demands. With pricing starting at R2 287 700 for the 3.5T Petrol GR-S HEV, this new model showcases Toyota's commitment to providing the perfect technology for every customer's needs.
