Is there a cost for the new tech in the LC300 taking away the rugged simplicity?
31 December 2024 06:27
I'm torn. If the new tech makes this appeal to a wider audience, hopefully one that will keep Toyota making the Land Cruiser. Noticeably, it’s straying a bit from its roots.
Is the LC300 too luxurious to be a true off roader?

It's still a beast off-road. But Toyota hasn't cut anything that mattered, including ground clearance, approach angles, or low range gearing. It’s just more comfortable when you’re not rock crawling – but I wouldn’t trade it for a 4 Runner or a Cherokee.

It's become too soft. Even with all those luxury features, it’s all that extra weight that hurts performance – especially on the low profile tires of the 'luxury' versions.

It’s, I think, the perfect balance. It’s still remarkably capable off road, but you can actually have fun driving it to work everyday as well. Why shouldn't we have both?

99% of the people will never need as much capability as LC300 can offer. It may not be the most comfortable vehicle, but if it can handle tough terrain it doesn't mean it isn't comfortable. In fact, the new tech makes it even better off road.

It's definitely more luxurious, and in the market that's what people want. At least Toyota has stuck to the core off-road DNA, at least in part, something that's lacking with some other manufacturers' design evolution of SUV.

I fear that the luxury focus will ultimately dilute the off road capabilities. It’s good now, but will the next generation be tracking over comfort, and if so, for how long?

With the correct setup, it's a real off the road vehicle. Don't bother with the 22-inch wheels and throw on the appropriate all terrains, and you suddenly have a luxury vehicle that can go anywhere. A good compromise in my opinion. A best of both worlds.
The monocoque construction of the Hycross affects its durability for the better or worse, compared to the Crysta?
31 December 2024 06:24
In many ways, the Hycross is actually more durable with the monocoque construction. It’s lighter and is configured to better absorb impacts.

Body on frame is just darn durable. While the Hycross could handle better, it'll not be able to take the thrashing the Crysta could on bumpy roads.

It's a trade-off. The Hycross will be tougher in crashes and display better long term structural integrity. For sure, the Crysta's design was better than the Innova for off road use (or really bad roads).

If Toyota can't do monocoque because Indian conditions won't stand it, then they wouldn't. This means they’ve probably over engineered it to match the same durability standards of the Crysta.

Time will tell, once things have gone awry for 5–6 years. But it’s too early to tell if the Hycross can be as tough as the legendary Crysta.
The monocoque construction of the Hycross affects its durability for the better or worse, compared to the Crysta?

It turns out that monocoque is actually better for overall vehicle longevity. The flex and squeaks are reduced and the drivetrain protected better from impact.

Most users won’t need more durability than the Hycross delivers. The body on frame might be missed only by the extreme cases – the rural taxi user.
Does the Hycross’s ADAS system really help in Indian traffic conditions?
31 December 2024 06:24
Absolutely useful! No doubt, adaptive cruise control is a game changer by itself in highway traffic, but the lane departure warning has saved my butt from distracted driving at least thrice already.

In city traffic, it is mostly useless. Two wheelers confuse the systems and the systems cannot cope with chaos. It’s a distraction more than a help.
Does the Hycross’s ADAS system really help in Indian traffic conditions?

It's hit or miss. On highways, or well marked roads it's just great. In typical Indian city traffic you're better off using your own skills.

Enough said about this feature alone. For busy traffic situations, it's caught things I've missed.

Most Indian driving conditions are overkill for it. Nice to have, but not necessary. I don’t want a better infotainment system, or more comfort features, I want the Tesla.
