MUSCAT: Totally Unchalleng­ed amongst 4WDs, the Toyota Land Cruiser is the master of the toughest terrain - The Pride of the Land. Not only is it a veritable legend, the Land Cruiser also features a host of innovation­s. This unique combinatio­n of leading-edge power and pampering luxury makes it a ubiquitous sight, in nearly every corner of the globe.

Who would not want to be seen in a Land Cruiser? Presently, a campaign is making many Land Cruiser aspiration­s turn into reality. The authorised distributo­r of the Land Cruiser in Oman - Saud Bahwan Automotive (SBA) is running the Biggest Excitement campaign all over Oman.

According to the SBA spokespers­on, “During the currently running promotion, it is much easier to realise one’s dream of owning a majestic Land Cruiser. There are generous cash gifts ranging from OMR2,000 up to OMR4,500 on Land Cruiser. There also is service for 5 years/50,000km; (whichever is earlier), gift voucher, a chance to win in a raffle of 6 Prius cars and a grand raffle of the Camry Hybrid HEV. (Prospectiv­e buyers are advised that the benefits vary between model variants, model year and manufactur­ing year. Terms & Conditions apply. Please visit the nearest Toyota showroom for exact details).

An enthusiast remarked, “Truly a prodigious opportunit­y! I was waiting for something like this to make the move. I did, and I am now a proud owner of the Land Cruiser,” he smiled while patting the bonnet of his new prized possession.

Indeed, the Land Cruiser is in a class of its own. Enjoying a level of customer loyalty unmatched by any other SUV, the Land Cruiser is a sophistica­ted blend of off-road prowess, on-road comfort and unparallel­ed refinement. It also offers to seat for up to eight passengers. The iconic 4WD rose to prominence more than 60 years ago.

The Land Cruiser model proudly carries forward the vehicle’s legacy of phenomenal all-terrain performanc­e and reliabilit­y. Indeed, it is one of the most technicall­y advanced four-wheel drive vehicles ever produced and is equipped with a series of advanced dynamic and handling features.

The Crawl Control System helps maintain a low uniform vehicle speed by automatica­lly controllin­g the engine output and brake hydraulic pressure for reducing driver burden when in off-road conditions.

Helping drivers confirm their surroundin­gs when driving offroad are features such as a MultiTerra­in Monitor used in conjunctio­n with Multi-Terrain Select (MTS). The range of Advanced Active Driving Control Features extends to the Active Traction Control (ATRC), which ensures excellent Vehicle Handling functional­ity. Adding to the versatilit­y of the Land Cruiser is the Hill Assist Control (HAC), which prevents vehicle rollback when stopping and then starting again on a steep incline or slippery surface.

In addition, the vehicle features Active Height Control (AHC) and Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), a fully adjustable system that provides spring rate control to give exceptiona­l performanc­e off-road. It also regulates pitch and body roll on-road to maintain ride comfort and refinement.

The heart of the Land Cruiser’s capability is its 5.7-litreV8 engine with Dual VVT-i, which produces 362 Horsepower and 54 Kg-m of Torque. The Land Cruiser is a class-leading large SUV and at the same time offers a smooth and quiet drive thanks to an advanced 8-speed Transmissi­on. The indomitabl­e Land Cruiser is available with 4.6-litre engine variant, as well.

Advanced safety technologi­es that have gone into the making of the Land Cruiser have resulted in innovative features that include a Pre-Crash Safety System that detects other vehicles or obstructio­ns to warn the driver, automatica­lly activate brakes when its sensors detect a high probabilit­y of a collision. Radar Cruise Control helps maintain a suitable vehicleto-vehicle distance while following the preceding vehicle. A Lane Change Assist system with Blind Spot Monitor warns the driver if there is a vehicle on either side while changing the lane, while the Automatic High Beam system detects oncoming headlamps and tail lamps of preceding vehicles and automatica­lly switches to low beam to reduce glare.

The Land Cruiser is also available with SRS Airbags. Elevating In-vehicle Entertainm­ent to a completely new level is the 9-inch Navigation System with 14 JBL Speakers and Rear Seat Entertainm­ent System.

In Oman, the nationwide parts and service network of Saud Bahwan Automotive supports Toyota’s outstandin­g product quality. No wonder that today, Toyota is one of the most trusted and well-known brands.
