JAKARTA - The Japanese auto giant Toyota announced the arrival of the 250 Land Cruiser series to the Japanese market, accompanied by the launch of two special edition models, ZX "First Edition" and VX "First Edition".

The introduction of the 250 Land Cruiser series further strengthens its position between the 70 series and the 300 series. Hopefully, this SUV will be a reliable choice for customers in daily mobility with impressive off-road capabilities.

According to a report from Toyota's official website, Friday, April 19, the car was built on the same GA-F platform as the 300 series, offering tough performance on off-road terrain. Features such as Electric Power Steering (EPS) reduce vibrations and make it easier for drivers to pass through heavy-field hurdles.

In addition, the Stabilizer Content Mechanism (HR) feature allows cars to have optimal stability with a single touch of buttons.

The ZX "First Edition" model is equipped with Bi-Beam LED, 18-inch Matte Black aluminum rim, and off-road 265/70R18 tires. While the VX model "First Edition" has exterior colors "Sand" and "Dark Chestnut" in the interior, and is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) and Toyota Teammate features.

Exclusive impressions can be seen in real skin coatings, door trim ornaments wrapped in synthetic skin bearing the "First Edition" logo, and instrument panel decorations with titanium and chrom film.

Land Cruiser 250 is available in two engine options: 2.8 liter turbo diesel with an automatic transmission of eight accelerations and 2.7 liter gasoline with an automatic transmission of six accelerations. The power of these two machines is channeled to a four-wheel drive with Torsen LSD at mid-differentials.

Toyota will produce a Land Cruiser 250 at the Tahara Plant owned by Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) and Hino Motors' Hamura Plant. Monthly production reaches 2,250 units, with two special editions limited to 8,000 units available.

The price of the Land Cruiser is 250 from 5.2 million yen to 7.35 million yen, while the special edition is priced from 5.9 million yen to 7.85 million yen.
