In the cabin of the VX Limited, a new rear seat entertainment system with dual 11.6” monitors, which includes two infrared wireless headphones, allow users to tune into a different audio track or DVD sound from what the front seat occupants might be listening to.

The Land Cruiser 200 also gains a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Emergency Stop Signal.
The engine now produces 200 kW and has an improved overall combined fuel consumption of 9.5 litres/100 kms. The addition of a diesel particulate filter has contributed to the Land Cruiser 200 achieving EURO 5 standard for emissions.
Backed by 60 years of development and rugged use around the world, the Land Cruiser 200 still has the go anywhere, do anything pedigree of its predecessors.
The four wheel drive system has high and low ratios which are accessed through a rotary dial in the cabin. A Torsen limited slip centre differential feeds power to the front and rear axles with the aid of the six speed automatic transmission with sequential manual operation.
The Land Cruiser 200 features CRAWL Control which acts as an ‘off-road cruise control system’ through managing the engine and brakes, maintaining a low and uniform speed and minimises damage to the drive-train and terrain.
Combined with Hill-start Assist Control, which stops the Land Cruiser from rolling unintentionally when starting on a hill, and Down-hill Assist Control, which is designed to keep the vehicle at a low and constant speed during a steep off-road descent, deliver maximum stability leaving the driver to concentrate on steering.
All models are also fitted with a multi-terrain select with automatic mode to alter the 4WD system’s operation to best suit the ground being covered.

The Land Cruiser 200 sits on newly designed 18” alloy wheels with 285/60R18 tyres and a full sized spare wheel is standard.
Safety features include ABS brakes with brake assist and electronic brakeforce distribution. There is vehicle stability control; active traction control and trailer sway control. The Land Cruiser 200 has a 3500kg braked tow rating.
