First 2 weeks with 2024 LC 1958

SJB, 12/18/2024
2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 1958 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
Here is my short review of my new Land Cruiser 1958 after first two weeks of ownership. I am not going to cover the obvious like off-road capability. That's what this vehicle is intended for, so there is no point in writing about it. Positives: - Ride: For a body-on-frame, off-road oriented vehicle, the ride is pretty comfortable (better than comparable off-road vehicles) - Handling: … Again, for the type of vehicle, handling is good, without excessive body lean on curves. It's easy to control the vehicle at highway speeds. - Noise: The engine is quite noisy under heavier load, but at steady speed the interior is very quiet. Road noise is minimal (I credit the tires for it), and wind noise is only perceptible above 65-70 mph. - Seat comfort: The seats are comfortable, with the right combination of soft layer on top and firm support underneath. They are well shaped and supportive. - Build quality: I am engineer with quite a lot of experience in quality control, and I am very picky about it. Honestly, I can say that I still haven't found any fabrication quality defect with my LC. Long-term reliability is to be determined, but at least it's built well. - Creature comforts: In spite of being a base-trim, utility vehicle, it comes with a decent amount of comfort features: 3-zone auto A/C, heated seats, heated steering wheel. - Sound system: The basic sound system is actually pretty good, better than what I have experienced in other Toyotas (I had 7 of them). - Complete package: Like all Toyotas you get a complete package without having to select a myriad of "options" and "packages". It comes fully equipped for towing, and attachment points for running boards, rock rails, roof rack. Unlike other brands which start with low MSRP, but you have to pick a dozen of expensive "options" to make the car usable, this one comes complete. - Power and acceleration: It's not a sports car, but acceleration is good for the type of vehicle. The engine feels relaxed at highway speeds and rarely has to work above 2000 rpm except when accelerating. There is no turbo lag thanks to instant torque from the electric motor. - 4WD controls: No gimmicks, not fancy computer-controlled off-road modes (with a dozen of clutches that overheat and fail when you need them most), just manually selectable center differential lock, rear differential lock and 2-speed transfer case. Beats any computer-controlled system if the driver knows what he/she is doing. - Safety system: Toyota TSS 3.0 works very well. If you don't like how it keeps control of the car, most likely it's because you are just a bad driver. Neutral: - Fuel economy: I am averaging 22 mpg in mostly city driving. Better than competitors, but not outstanding. - Interior materials: I love the cloth trimmed seats which have a very nice feel to the touch. But everywhere else it's hard plastic. There is no padded surface in sight with exception of the center console lid. A bit more soft padding on the doors wouldn't cost much and make the interior a much nicer place. Negatives: - Storage space: There is very little storage space. The glovebox is minimal, the center console is small, and storage space under the trunk floor is very limited. It's hard to find space for and keep organized stuff that I typically carry with me: recovery gear, air compressor, hitch ball mount, etc. - Cargo space: The trunk floor is very high and cargo volume is small for a vehicle of this size. It's obviously bigger than a small SUV, sedan or a hatchback, but it's less than what an average mid- to big(ish)-SUV would have. It's enough for my needs, but it may be disappointing for somebody who is specifically looking for an SUV with a lot of cargo space. - Tires: I like the fact that tires are very quiet, but they are useless for any type of off-roading. A vehicle in this category should come with truck-type tires with at least a bit more aggressive tread and reinforced sidewalls. - Transmission shifting: The transmission shifts OK when accelerating, but downshifts are harsh when slowing down to a stop. Verdict: If you are looking for a very capable off-road SUV that you can also use and enjoy as a daily driver and/or family vehicle, the new Land Cruiser strikes the right balance. It is much more practical and comfortable than Jeep Wrangler or Ford Bronco. On the other hand, typical family-oriented SUVs like the Toyota Highlander, KIA Telluride, Hyundai Santa Fe or Honda Pilot simply can't go places the Land Cruiser can. UPDATE: The honeymoon is over. Now, after owning the Land Cruiser for 6 months, I can honestly say that it has been very disappointing. Here is why: 1) Fuel economy: terrible, 19-20 mpg and requires Premium gas 2) Comfort: ride is very uncomfortable and engine/road/wind noise are terrible. At city speeds, the harsh, unrefined engine noise is very intrusive. Above 60 mph, wind and road noise make longer road trips extremely unpleasant. 3) Practicality: cargo space is small for vehicle of this size and high floor (due to hybrid battery) make loading heavy objects an exercise in weightlifting. There is very limited storage space inside, only a tiny center console and minuscule glove box. 4) Interior: hard plastic everywhere, looks and feels extremely cheap. Easily scratched. 5) Long term reliability and durability: while I haven't experienced any mechanical problems yet, the powertrain is extremely over-complicated. The combination of small displacement 4-cyl engine with a turbo and hybrid makes it the MOST complicated powertrain there is. The engine bay is extremely crowded so doing any maintenance or repairs will be a nightmare. Because of how complicated it is, it is bound to fail and cost a fortune to repair. Overall, mediocre vehicle that isn't worth half of the price. Stay away, it's pure hype and zero substance. I'm trading in mine soon.
