Toyota Land Cruiser 300 police fleets New South Wales, Australia (Doc. Drive)

JAKARTA - Toyota Land Cruiser is known as a dashing and tough vehicle in passing through various terrains. In fact, it is not uncommon for large-dimensional SUVs to be used as operational vehicles for the public interest.

One of them was carried out by the Australian police. The New South Wales Police in Australia used the Land Cruiser 300 model as its recent operational fleet.

Reporting from Drive, Thursday, September 14, the Land Cruiser 300 was covered by police line stickers from New South Wales. The car was used as an operational fleet two years after the model was launched.

The delay in Land Cruiser 300 becoming a police fleet is not without reason. The reason is, the high demand for this car in Australia since its launch has made the waiting period also long, including the police. In fact, because of the length of time waiting, the prospective car buyer cancels orders.

The New South Wales Police in Australia selected the Land Cruiser 300 GX type with a five-seater configuration equipped with a 3.3-liter twint-turbo V6 diesel engine with a ten-speed transmission system.

With a four-wheel drive (4WD), the Land Cruiser 300 GX is capable of producing impressive power of up to 308 dk and 700 Nm torque with Toyota claiming this car has low emission capability compared to the previous two generations.

In addition to being equipped with a typical New South Wales police sticker, the Land Cruiser 300 was given a snorkel and a bullbar accompanied by police equipment as standard.

With the 4WD drive system, the Land Cruiser 300 is suitable for use in various conditions including the ability to respond quickly during emergency conditions.

In Australia, Toyota Land Cruiser 300 GX types are priced at up to 89,990 Australian dollars or converted into IDR 888.8 million. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, Land Cruiser 300 is priced more expensive to IDR 2.4 billion.

PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) also presented the highest variant of the seven-seater SUV, the Land Cruiser GR Sport, which is priced at IDR 2.5 billion.
