The new Toyota Land Cruiser is leaning laborious into its heritage. It appears that what’s outdated is, certainly, new once more, and Toyota is embracing the boxy appears to be like of its basic Land Cruisers to woo followers to its upcoming off-roader SUV. We’ve solely had glimpses to date, however the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser can be totally revealed on August 1. Well, within the U.S., anyway.

The 2024 Land Cruiser is lacking the chrome bumper, if you happen to ask me. I get that trendy security requirements are doubtless answerable for bumper design at the moment, with bumpers now built-in into the general look of contemporary vehicles and SUVs (automobiles, too). But I do miss the times of chrome bumpers on gnarly vehicles and SUVs, which acted extra like steps and have been visibly distinct from the remainder of the design.

The photos give us extra clues into the look of the 2024 Land Cruiser, however we simply should piece them collectively like a jigsaw puzzle for now.
