  • Toyota has revealed the new 300-series generation of the Land Cruiser SUV.

  • It has new engines including a twin-turbo 3.4-liter V-6 and a 3.3-liter turbodiesel V-6.

  • We won't get this new model in the U.S., but we may get something similar as the next-gen Lexus LX.

CORRECTION 8/1/21: This story has been updated to correctly state the twin-turbocharged V-6 engine's displacement.

Toyota doesn't redesign the Land Cruiser too often, so the arrival of this new 300-series model is a big deal. Compared with the outgoing 200-series iteration, this new Land Cruiser is lighter, more powerful, and has a far more modern interior. It'll go on sale in global markets but likely won't reach the U.S.—at least not in this form. After the Land Cruiser's recent discontinuation, the prevailing rumor is that America will only get the Lexus version of this new model, as the next-generation LX.
