The development concept of the new Land Cruiser is “Advanced Robust- ness”. “Robustness” is part of the Land Cruiser DNA and “Advanced” is what the model needs to be to remain at the top of its segment. The briefing I gave to my development team, based on customer feed- back and our internal re-evaluation of the current model, was based on 3 pillars: - Create a new design for both the interior and the exterior so that customers can immediately identify the vehicle as the new Land Cruiser - Strengthen the Land Cruiser’s off-road legend by adopting new technologies that will further enhance its off-road abilities for all cus- tomers - Achieve a higher level of safety and comfort thanks to new equip- ment Although still instantly recognisable as a Land Cruiser, the new exte- rior has a more modern and robust look, thanks to the updated rear and completely redesigned front featuring a new grille and hood. The interior provides the occupants with a more sophisticated envi- ronment, thanks to the new instrument panel, new centre console and the premium quality trim and finishes. The new Land Cruiser adopts several new specifications to further increase its off-road capabilities, such as the new Torsen Limited Slip Differential, while at the same time providing a high level of on-road driving comfort. 10 The level of safety has also been increased with the introduction of several new features and the availability of Toyota Safety Sense. And, last but not least, we’re introducing several new comfort features such as ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. In terms of the development process, which was the biggest challenge you and your team were faced with? Safety is one of the core values of Toyota. Our belief is that we should make the best technology widely available to our customers because it is only when safety systems are in widespread use that they can have a real impact on the elimination of traffic accidents and fatalities. And making Toyota Safety Sense available on the new Land Cruiser was probably our biggest challenge during the development. The current generation Land Cruiser was launched in 2009 and its existing electrical platform did not allow us to integrate all the safety features. Therefore my team spent a lot of time and effort in develop- ing a new electrical platform, including new ECUs and a completely new wiring harness. Thanks to its heritage of more than 65 years and the fact that it’s be- ing sold in more than 190 countries worldwide, Land Cruiser has be- come a truly iconic off-road vehicle. What are -according to you- the main reasons for the car’s global success? In my career at Toyota I’ve accumulated more than 30 years of experi- ence with off-road vehicles. During this time my philosophy has always been: “meet customer needs without sacrificing reliability, durability or rough road performance”. 11 12 INTERVIEW: SADAYOSHI KOYARI, LAND CRUISER CHIEF ENGINEER For sure, Land Cruiser is renowned for its off-road capabilities, but I The new features that we introduce on the car are there to support believe the main reason for its global success is that it combines these the driver, to make off-roading easier and more enjoyable.

The new Land Cruiser has a lot of features to support the driver while Toyota is selling a lot of hybrid vehicles, what would be the main driving off-road. Which is your favourite one and why? challenges to develop a hybrid off-road vehicle? I very much like features such as the Multi-terrain Select System and Of course we are studying the feasibility of an off-road vehicle with a Multi-Terrain Monitor. hybrid powertrain but there are still some challenges, especially in the These systems will support the driver going off-road and help him area of reliability and durability. For example, the batteries are still very to fully enjoy the experience and explore new terrains, regardless of his sensitive to high and low temperatures and vibrations. off-roading skills. From our perspective, it is essential that each Land Cruiser variant At times where you think you’ve reached the limits these support can live-up to the model’s heritage and thus can cope with the most ex- systems will help you and show you the true capabilities of the vehicle.
