The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Series has received the most significant upgrades after a very long period of production, not towards luxury but towards improving its rugged capability and unmatched utility. The interior has been revised, modern safety features like lane departure alert have been added, and a 2.8 L Diesel engine with automatic transmission has been introduced for gents and queens who find handling the three pedals on Thika Road quite demanding. Its exceptional long-running history of reliability and durability has largely contributed to its sharp rise in demand not only in Kenya, but also in the rest of African countries, especially South Africa.

INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Series has a basic, spacious, and functional interior. It can accommodate up to 5 people, and each occupant enjoys plenty of legroom and headroom. The large windows allow natural light to flood the cabin for improved ambiance and visibility.
Thanks to the squared bonnet, the driver has excellent visibility and command of oncoming traffic. The dashboard is covered with hard plastic, and at the center sits a touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. The occupants have access to multiple storage compartments to keep or hold their gear.

PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Series has introduced an automatic transmission paired to a 2.8 L four-cylinder diesel engine. For us purists, we are sticking with the 4.5 L V8 controlled by a human being courtesy of the 5-speed manual transmission. We want an engaging experience.
The 76 Series has a composed and stable ride on the highway, although the comfort is quite stiff because it was not built for paved roads; it excels on rugged terrain and areas where there are no roads. The ladder-frame chassis it sits on has done wonders in the past decades and continues to do so with the current and coming 76 Series hardtops. The wheel articulation is superb, and low-range gearing ensures you don’t get stuck at all.
