JAKARTA - Toyota Motor Corporation surprisingly strengthened its tough vehicle line by launching the latest series of Land Cruiser "FJ" on May 14.
The presence of this FJ series brings a breath of fresh air for automotive lovers because it comes with a more compact concept compared to the "250" series, but still maintains the typical dashing character of the Land Cruiser family.
This car comes in one main variant, namely the "VX" type, which is armed with a 2.7-liter four-cylinder inline gasoline engine that is capable of spitting out a maximum power of 120kW and 246Nm of torque. Produced directly at Toyota Motor Thailand's Ban Pho factory, this vehicle is priced at 4.5 million yen (equivalent to Rp500 million) and is targeted to be able to sell 1,300 units each month.
Reported by Japanese media Carwatch, Thursday, May 15, the main advantage of the Land Cruiser FJ lies in its improved driving efficiency and control. Using a six-speed Super ECT automatic transmission, Toyota managed to improve smoothness when the car started moving as well as provide better speed control on downhill terrain or daily use in the city. Although focusing on comfort, the toughness side is not sacrificed because the FJ still adopts the legendary traditional ladder frame structure. The platform adapted from the IMV series has been strengthened to improve lateral rigidity, thus providing excellent maneuverability in various terrains, both smooth roads and damaged tracks.
In terms of dimensions, the Land Cruiser FJ has a slimmer body with a length of 4,575 mm and a width of 1,855 mm, making it a very agile choice to break through traffic jams or narrow terrain without losing its identity as a premium SUV. Even though it looks smaller from the outside, the interior offers a very functional space for five passengers. With the rear seat configuration that can be folded and shifted, users can get a luggage capacity of up to 795 liters. The combination of a compact package design, fuel efficiency of 8.7 km/liter in WLTC mode, and cabin space flexibility makes the Land Cruiser FJ the answer for those who want unlimited adventure in the form of a practical vehicle.
