Why Toyota Land Cruiser is so expensive. Why Toyota Land Cruiser is so expensive and maintenance of automatic transmission

What is the difference between the diesel Land Cruiser 200 from gasoline, how not to rear behind the wheel of both versions and something about a very important button. Before you go on the new Land Cruiser 200 to the extreme travel to the mountains or on the roofs of the shells in your own yard, be sure to use the RSCA OFF button.

It turns off the side safety curtains and seat belts. The instructions say that it must be pressed when your ride can end the coup. It is only better to immediately buy a second LC 200, because after using this button, the first is unlikely to be recovered. And if it feels, you still want to check whether "two hundredth" brother is overcome by the depth of 700 mm? This also applies to gasoline, and diesel version, but we will begin our comparative test with the latter.

Why does he tahatite?
Diesel Land Cruiser 200 You immediately learn from tractor sound, disgusting brakes and sluggish acceleration, practically ending immediately after 140 km / h. Why does he tahathitis so? I did not hear such a wild rockness from under the hood from the times of inline six-cylinder diesel engines on old "weaving." Approximately the drags of Discovery TDV6, when, after driving, the Finnish wasoir ends in his tank and our albeit poured.

I got dispersed and when ahead loomed a turn of cars, braking before the "lying policeman," began to slow down, leaving ahead of himself, as it seemed to me, enough space for maneuver. Uff-f! What mistake! Red Peugeot 207, confused before the legs, seeing my rapid approaching in the rearview mirror, quickly left the stupor and slipped the "lying" stroke. Furning from surprise (why are Japanese cars brake like American?), I stopped to translate the spirit and at the same time to correct the seats settings.

The back of the seat, or rather, its electrical adjustment turned out to be broken. With the car of the Toyota brand, this could not happen, especially with the new one ... I just picked up the brake pedal, resting all my weight just into the back of the seat, and therefore, even before me, others were also spinning. What kind of servo does it stand it?

Trying not to disturb the brake pedal, I left for the Novorizhskaya highway, and until the speed of 110-120 km / h, everything looked everyday. Another overtaking demanded to raise the arrow of the speedometer to 130-140 km / h, and suddenly the turnover fell from 3500 to 3000, the next transmission was turned on. The thrust disappeared on the middle of the maneuver. Further overtaking passed using manual automatic transmission. Only he did not help much. This diesel is cheerfully runs only on Nizakh, with such a character well in the city and on the ground, and not on the track.

Do not sleep!
Ahead of us was waiting for the Zvenigorodsky quarry. For insurance, we have enlisted support for Land Rover Defender 110, so that at the right time to pull out the "two hundredth" from off-routine trash. Confidence in tomorrow did not leave us while we furred the ravines, appreciating the possibilities of Toyota LC 200, and then Defender sat down in the promo.

The frame on which "two hundredth" pulls the "One-Ten One" cable, it would be nice to look at the wall at the Moscow office of Toyota, but we will not give this photo for anything. Hang in the editorial office.

How madly boring Toyota next to all other SUV! She just goes on the road, then she moved to the snow, then drives to the hill ... etc. I would hung in it a huge blinking plate with a buzzer: "Do not sleep!" Because after ten minutes of staying behind the wheel of "Two-hundredth", the driver easily let the snoring. I yawned five minutes later. It is too correct - and no emotions.

Fighting with sleep, we continued a test on snow-icy coverage. Toyyotovsky Diesel, issuing 615 Nm of the moment in the interval of 1800-2200 revolutions, led the car in the snow with both the included and turned off the anti-test system. The active stabilizer helped the passability and comfortable movement. It increased the articulation of bridges as much as possible, keeping the contact of the wheels with the road all the time. In confusion, the diesel LC 200 introduced only the icing rise of the degrees of the form under 30. However, on good acceleration and this height succumbed to.

As a result, having received the maximum number of points on the off-road and the most modest assessment for riding along the highway, "two hundredth" was sent to the garage of the Toyota representative office. And we, forcing the mercsy eyelids and desperately struggling with the elephant zoo, went beyond the bucket of Eleutherococcus.

Polisy faster
The next day I was already driving a gasoline Land Cruiser 200 to compare both versions on hot trails. And the difference between them is not only in motors. Gasoline LC 200, unlike the diesel, is equipped with a "crawling control" - Crawl Control. The system of automatic maintenance of a given speed at the exit on off-roud has three modes: 1 km / h, 3 km / h and 5 km / h. At the same time, Crawl Control includes an electronic assistant when descending from the mountain.

Is it really so easy? Turned the lever and go, not a touch of pedals? Turning on the slowest mode of 1 km / h, I moved along the ice drops, trying to look relaxed. However, it was not possible, because the soft, comfortable Land Cruiser vibrated the brake pads under the shock. Then I had to go to mode 3 km / h, not so extremely our off-road. But even more suitable for civilian purposes was the fastest mode of "creeping control" - 5 km / h. It is likely to be the main for owners of gasoline versions of Land Cruiser 200.

Off-road cruise control allows you to focus only on maneuvering, without being distracted by manipulation with a gas pedal, and only it retains the mass of the psychic and physical energy of the driver, by all the forces of the bumper and the car, the queue for which is longer than the benefits in the sobes .

But in a dispute with a diesel version on off-road, gasoline still seemed worse, despite the fashionable Crawl Control. The diesel is easily climbing the differences and confidently pulls in the protracted lines, and most importantly, for this it is not necessary to be distracted by the Crawl Control Tumbles and count the speed at the moment. Test diesel and so pull out.

Matchast: Toyota Land Cruiser 200

Fear "KamAZ"
According to passport information, overclocking up to hundreds of diesel version (eight cylinders and 4.5 liters) - 8.6 C, and in gasoline (eight cylinders and 4.7 liters) - 9.2 p. Driving around the suburban tracks on the Diesel, I could not accelerate to 180 km / h, and on gasoline did it easily and without any effort. In the sprint to a hundred kilometers per hour, diesel first, but then obviously no. After 3200 revolutions, diesel does not pull, and the gasoline engine is just waking up. Hence the conclusion: the diesel version is not universal, but the equipment with a gasoline engine and the Crawl Control system is quite.

Sorry. Diesel eats almost two times less fuel than gasoline, and beautiful on off-road. But 90% of our country roads are two-way dark polygons for silent "KAMAZ", and the theme of extreme overtones is too relevant to ignore it.

Four with a plus
Land Cruiser is a calm family car, from birth averaged in all parameters. Not only acceleration, but also on the suspension. It seems that rolls in turns and the longitudinal squash are clearly present, but do not interfere. The smoothness of the course is combined with a wonderful energy intensity, at which no "sleeping police" is not terrible. Course stability is not the best in the classroom, the steering wheel is too attacking the weak and dystrophic office rats.

Some call him "Cruiser", other "Cowuser". There is a variant - "cruiser". Yakut policemen say "Krazer". Now there was a gloomy nickname "two hundredth". In any case, it is noticeably worse than Range Rover and better than Nissan Pathfinder Armada. He has four with a plus in all subjects, and therefore he is extremely bored. So it was and so it will be, if, having become ordinary, you will not get to the RSCA OFF button. Since you still do it, I remind you that the TLC 200 passport overcomes the 100% rise (45 degrees), but the angle of entry is 32 degrees, so that after such a lift the front bumper will have to be disposed of. But one of your "Toyot" is still on the emission ...

• Ford Explorer Sport, petrol, 3.5 liters (345 hp), 6-speed automatic, Sport, 3 399 000 rub. (here and then the prices are indicated as of January 22, 2016)
• Chevrolet Tahoe. - gasoline, 6.2 liters (409 hp), 6-speed automatic, LTZ, 3 840 000 rubles.
• Toyota Land Cruiser 200 - gasoline, 4.6 liters (309 hp), 6-speed automatic, Luxe Safety, 4 533 000 rub.

Oil painting

I look at our heroes, and the Vasnetsovskiy "Three Bogatyr" stand before your eyes. In the spotlight, of course, Ilya Muromets, the most revered by the Bogatyr, - Land Cruiser 200. By sales volumes, this mighty sacrifice is repeatedly ahead of competitors throughout his career, and after a recent restyling, it has all the chances to keep leadership.

Will his Dobrynya Nikitich be able to overcome, then you mean fresh Chevrolet Tahoe? He also a lot of exploits and legends, and the soot in his shoulders are no less oblique. In the last generation, it became even more, more powerful and, which is extremely important in the current times, has an attractive price.

And on the other hand - Alyosha Popovich, he is Ford Explorer Sport. Not so dumbfounded, however, in a considerable case, bold and deleted. He is lower, but in the length of the width is not inferior to other heroes. Why does the motor not V8? So his "turbo shester" gives up a 345 "horses" - more than Ilya Landkruzerovich!

Terminal look

Toyota Land Cruiser 200

The current generation of Japanese Bestseller debuted in 2007. In 2013, the car was refreshing, and last fall seriously upgraded: the design has changed, the technical filling has been updated.

Engines:

• gasoline 4.6 (309 hp) - from 2 999 000 rubles.
• diesel 4.5 (249 hp) - from 2 999 000 rubles.

The interior of the "two hundred" in the course of modernization was transformed. But - an amazing thing! - You can not say that it looks modern former. The concise style remained with him, and even the surcharge of a week, I can't remember the interior in detail. Perhaps the most notable detail is a large nine-seamy high-definition screen. From others will take time - a platform for induction charging of a smartphone, road sign recognition system, adaptive cruise control, a system of informing the driver's fatigue.

The salon was getting dressed in more expensive materials, and a special nobility gives him a semi-annular skin - this variety is used on Lexus cars. It is a pity, the arms of the front doors remained the same miniature - the Bogatyr palm will not take them for them. The visibility and before sin was complaining (thin racks of the roof, large mirrors, a large glazing area), and now also came the chambers of the circular review.

Chevrolet Tahoe.

The world premiere took place in 2013, however, the American warrior reached Russia only a year later. In America, the long-base version of Suburban is sold.

Engine:

• petrol 6.2 (409 hp) - from 2 990 000 rubles

Interior Tahoe struck. So bright, lush, elegant salon in all-wheel drive Chevrolet has not yet been. Especially interesting is the devices with a quartet of secondary scales above the speedometer and tachometer. Successfully selected and color combination: brown leather, dark chocolate plastic, wood. In TaHoe, the cozy all! Although the build quality is imperfect: the gaps between the details are too much, some elements of the interior luftyt ...

Americanism? Where without them! Here is an electrically regulating a pedal node (useful thing). But the marriage of the machine gun instead of the usual outdoor selector, - because of her, the left-handed lever lever turned out to be overloaded with functions. For a few days I did not have time to remember what's what. Critics deserves visibility. Behind the wide racks can easily hide the babble, the rear view camera is only one, and the outer mirrors would like more.

Ford Explorer.

In 2011, the last generation explorer who debuted in 2011 got rid of the frame and the demultitator and, as nor sadly, moved into the discharge of crossovers. At the end of last year, a restyled version was published.

Engines:

• gasoline: 3.5 (249 hp) - from 2,799,000 rubles., 3.5 Turbo (345 hp) - from 3 399 000 rubles.

Unlike rivals, you don't get into the salon of the explorer, and you sit down - the lesser height of the body affects. Landing behind the wheel is an easy, not vertical commander. But inside Ford modest: Non-trim and dark black color do not add optimism. Even the lining "under carbon" and the red stop on the seats and the steering wheel are unable to cheer this dark kingdom. But for ergonomics there are no questions.

The second row of Tahoe surprised. Instead of a solid sofa, two separate chairs are installed in it, as in the Sedan of the Executive Class.

According to the protrusion, TaHoe cannot be filled with long sedans, but the level of equipment is good: individual armrests, seats heating, its microclimate control unit, two sockets (12 and 230 V) and even a multimedia system with a ceiling screen. There is a third row. The passage to it is unemployed, however, on the "luggage" places closely, sitting almost on the floor.

Whether the case is the third a number of Ford! Here, human landing and stock of space is noticeably more. At least, with an increase in 181 cm, I am settled normally.

But Ford is lower than Chevrolet! Miracles ... in the second row is not closer than in Tahoe, but the lack of central armrest and ceiling handles in the car of this price category causes bewilderment.

Land Cruiser 200 I got in a five-seater version. And if you ride a passenger, then in Toyota! Here is a cozy whole: the sofa is well planned, and the middle place is at all comfortable in my memory. It would still be Mésta for the feet more, and would be quite a buzz. The sofa moves forward-back, and the backs are adjusted along the angle of inclination. And only on the "Kruzak" four-zone climate control is installed. Deflectors do not read: blowing in the knees, from the ceiling, from the door rack. Freeze there is no chance! Peer will permeate only that there is no socket on 230 V - there is only a 12-volt.

On the Brani field

Even the former Tahoe hit her huge "heart" (5.3 V8), but the new generation machine has a working volume of "eight" and is at all angry - 6.2 liters! Epic torque - 623 N · m. But the return is only 409 hp With this volume you can remove much more.

Translate a stealing poker to D mode - by horses! But in the script immediately had to make adjustments: the gas pedal is over-in charge and to move Tahoe from the place, you have to press from the soul. And a little passed - a sharp jump forward. Uncomfortable, especially on cramped parking. But if you have an operational expanse, Chevrolet with an artillery shell is carried forward, having considered the neighborhood of a low-frequency cannonade. Kaif! That's just with active acceleration, the automatic can sometimes switches with fairy jerks, and the fuel reserve arrow falls in front of the eye. The average consumption was 25 l / 100 km.

Under the hood of Toyota, the more modest engine 4.6 V8 works, which gives only 309 hp. And since the Land Cruiser 200 on the half-dealer is heavier than Tahoe, it is not surprising that he is not so smart - goosebumps on the skin is no longer running. Nevertheless, these machines for accelerating dynamics received the same estimates, since it is much more convenient to control the Toyota acceleration: the automatic is logical and intelligent, there is no need to escalate to the accelerator.

And most of all on straight lines, I liked Explorer Sport. The traction "Turbollows" is enough in any situations, the machine works fine, plus the smallest mass - with a parallel start Ford easily leaves from rivals. I have no doubt about 6.4 seconds of overclocking to hundreds. At the same time, the "Blue Oval" is the least voracious (17 l / 100 km), and it is possible to refuel it "ninety-second" gasoline. And in terms of controllence Explorer Sport is good. Warely comes in turns and firmly stands on the arc, the steering wheel is not devoid of feedback. It is immediately clear that the asphalt is the native element of Ford. But on off-road, he was not so confident, about which Maxim Gomyanin narrates separately.

The LC200 is not so terminated in LC200. But notadless! Yes, the steering wheel is empty, and the rolls are deep, but the "Kruzak" trajectory holds a dead grip and after the series of S-shaped ligaments is not far behind Ford.

Tahoe looms somewhere in the rearview mirrors. He will generally break quick maneuvering: reactions to the turns of the steering wheel inhibited, the huge body swings along and across. And the smoothness of the stroke is far from ideal: Chevrolet is angry at the junctions of cracks and sharply shudders on larger irregularities. Valyaja riding? Only on perfect asphalt!

Japanese car manufacturer Toyota won the perfect reputation. The SUVs of this company are considered to be one of the best, and Land Cruiser 200 is specially popular, and Prado 150. Many motorists try to understand what car still deserves the greatest attention and any advantages have each competitors.

Brief history of the classic Cruiser Prado from Toyota

The first generation of Toyota Prado was presented in the distant 1987.It was then that the history of one of the best SUVs available for Russians began. Car enthusias have the same popularity gained 90, 120 and 150 model. Each of them possesses its advantages and disadvantages. However, the most serious competitor for Toyota Land Cruiser 200 is considered the 150th model, so many motorists are interested in what is better than the Lend Cruiser 200 or Prado. It is not so easy to answer the existing question, because both SUV confirm the reputation of the Japanese Toyota manufacturer. Despite this situation, the choice is still possible and even need to be done.

What you need to know about Prado 150

The 150th model appeared only in 2010. For seven years, the SUV managed to conquer a certain fame from motorists who evaluate the characteristic features of the car.

The SUV pleasing to the presence of good aggregates, each of which is intended for a certain circle of car enthusiasts:

• gasoline 2.7-liter 163-strong;
• 4-liter 282-strong gasoline;
• 3-liter 173-strong turbodiesel.

It is possible to guess that the dynamics still turns out to be available for car enthusiasts. In fact, not only this aspect contributes to the successful attraction of the target audience.

The main advantages are reduced to the following:

• solid appearance;
• the perfect quality of the vehicle assembly and the guaranteed structural strength;
• spacious and comfortable salon, ideal even for long trips;
• overall trunk with a socket;
• circular parking sensors and a comfortable rear view camera, contributing to the relief of travel;
• adaptive head optics and xenon, guaranteeing the optimal light stream under any conditions.

However, Prado 150 has certain disadvantages:

• a very thin paint layer on the body leads to the fact that scratches appear even after the branches are touched;
• uncomfortable and rigid driver's seat;
• rigid suspension;
• off-road characteristics justify the hopes of motorists not in each case.

It should be noted that Prado 150 has enough contradictions, despite its high level of popularity. As a result, many motorists appear sincere desire to compare Land Cruiser 200 and Prado 150 in order to understand which SUV deserves the greatest level of popularity.

Features Toyota Land Cruiser 200

Toyota Land Cruiser 200 is a all-wheel drive SUV, created on the basis of Lexus LX570.The story of this model started in the distant 1951, and the popularity of the car still remains high enough. The SUV is designed for 5 or 7 people, so you can make a decent choice, taking into account your personal preferences.

The 200th model, compared to the previous 100th, surprises its high level of comfort and spectacular design.It is not surprising that Land Cruiser 200 managed to win a high level of popularity from its admirers.

Important! Toyota Toyota Land-Cruiser Prado is created on the framework of body structures that attach a high level of reliability. It should be noted that the 200th model has increased body rigidity and cannot please the optimal geometry, as a result of which off-road characteristics deteriorated slightly. At the same time, the innovative KDSS system is promoted to successfully manage the car on the road, which gives a worthy hardness to stabilizers. Land Cruiser 200 pleases the almost complete lack of rolls, despite the impressive weight.

The car salon surprises a high level of comfort, which becomes available for each passenger. The only nuance is that the third row of seats is convenient only for children. Choosing Land Cruiser 200, it is impossible not to note the exquisite design and use of high-quality finishes. Despite the inadvertence of the luxurious performance of the interior, the comfort is still noted.

Motorists can choose a 4,4-liter 235-strong diesel or 4.6-liter 309-strong gasoline aggregates. Both motors are successfully combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Such equipment contributes to the considerable consumption of fuel, but at the same time it pleases with a high level of reliability.

What is better to choose: prado 150 or Land Cruiser 200

The Japanese manufacturer Toyota offers two decent SUVs who are competitors for each other: Prado 150, Land Cruiser 200. In which option to stop your choice, wanting to enjoy the perfect car even on the off-road?

Exterior

Prado 150 is a model that is an attempt to grind its predecessor.

The Land Cruiser 200 SUV, in turn, received a brutal design from the 100th model, which was produced before it. In fact, Prado 150 causes more disputes, despite endless attempts to improve design. Land Cruiser 200 meets modern trends, and only minimal changes with the obligatory preservation of principles are made to the exterior.

Interior

Another thing is the interior of Japanese SUVs. Land Cruiser Prado 150 seeks to maintain the names with regular changes in changes based on current trends. Land Cruiser 200 is trying to make expensive and graceful, but at the same time expensive finishing materials are not used.

Land-Cruiser Prado attracts the following positive faces:

• neon backlight, pleasant to the eyes;
• geometric forms that contribute to the extraction of the front panel;
• worthy implementation of ergonomics;
• comfortable chairs that still remain not the best in comfort;
• the presence of multimedia.

In any case, with each new modification, both SUVs are becoming better. This confirms the appearance of a number of modern systems from Land Cruiser 200 in the Land Cruiser 200 of the following trips:

• system for tracking traffic marking;
• equipment for automatic switching of distant - near light;
• control of driver fatigue;
• road sign recognition system;
• active cruise control;
• front collision warning system.

Comfort is guaranteed for every motorist and passenger.

Volume of luggage compartment

Competitors the trunk differs in its volume. At Prado, the indicator is 600-1900 liters in a 5-seater version, 100-1800 liters - in a 7-seater.

Land Cruiser 200 in the 7-seater modification is available 259 liters, in a 5-seater - 700 or 1431 liters, depending on the folding of the middle and reverse seats.

Choosing a car for a larger number of passengers, still need to sacrifice the volume of the luggage compartment.

Technical equipment

Land Cruiser 150 Good goes on off-road with a 2.8-liter turbodiesel, which is distinguished by an increased level of noise. A 6-range automatic transmission is offered to a diesel unit that is good technical data. The initial 2,7-liter gasoline motor is offered a 5-speed MCPP. At the same time, the best parameters demonstrate a 4-liter engine operating on gasoline.

Attention! The 200th model has a smaller choice of aggregates, but each of them pleasantly surprises with its power. As a result, technical equipment still turns out to be more interesting.

Trying to understand what is better to choose, Prado 150 or Land Cruiser 200, you need to understand the features of the execution of each Japanese SUV. Only a thorough study of the benefits of both models and a clear understanding of their needs will make a worthy choice.

Owners and masters from car services respond about Land Cruiser 200 as a non-killed tank. Do not break with everything.

Brief history of the model

The history of the Land Cruiser model began back in 1951, with an attempt to participate in the Japanese company in the American tender for a new military SUV. Unfortunately, the automaker did not have time to prepare a prototype for the end of the tender and naturally did not participate in it. But the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a qualitatively new SUV for the needs of the police, army and civilians - not disappeared.

The prototype for creating naturally became popular and reliable Willys MB. The Japanese did not just clone the old man, and decided to use only the conceptual ideas laid down in the prototype. According to Japanese engineers from Toyota, Willys has already been an outdated model and it was necessary to create a new car that will be able to gain popularity in the civilian segment and in a policeman with army.

For the foundation, a chassis from a reliable Toyota SB truck was taken, on the basis of which the prototype was built under the "original" name Toyota Jeep. As a result, a four-wheel drive SUV with a powerful, at that time, a motor with six cylinders and a developing up to 85 horsepower, which received a serial name - Toyota BJ.

Already by 1960, the company released the second generation of the SUV, called Land Cruiser J40. This model has become a source of the popularity of diesel engines, showing on a personal example that this decision successfully fits into civil engineering. It is worth noting, the second generation came to so much successful, which was produced for 24 years until I was changed by Land Cruise 70 in 84.

The third generation in the history of the all-wheel drive SUV was marked by the use of springs in the suspension instead of the springs, the installation of automatic transmissions and the use of the injector and turbine in the force aggregates. It is worth noting that Land Cruiser 70 enjoyed in great demand all over the world, and regularly returned to the conveyor for the needs in the domestic market.

But by 1989, the company has updated the car to Land Cruiser 80, marking a new stage in the development of design for future generations. The car drastically changed its appearance, but retained off-road qualities and reliability. Now Land Cruiser was bought not only as an excellent "jeep", but also as a status car. It is in this direction that the company began to develop future generations "old man".

In 1997, Land Cruiser 100 appeared on the world, which was appreciated by all the car enthusiasts of the world. There are still talking about the "unhappiness" of the legendary "weaving". The car continued to prove the effectiveness and attractiveness of diesel engines as a force unit for a casual car, having completed three different engines on diesel fuel and a single gasoline engine with eight cylinders and a 4.7 liter working volume. 2002 became a landmark for the development of the model, that year a restyled version of the cell "Kruzak" appeared, and work began on the current generation, published from the factory at the end of 2007 - Land Cruiser 200, which will be discussed.

Engine operation and repair

As for the power aggregates, then the Japanese gave the assortment for the Russian consumer. In total, 5 varieties of motors are offered in the line of power units for Land Cruiser 200, but only two of them are supplied to Russia - one gasoline and diesel motors. As a gasoline engine, a V8-tested engine is used, which develops up to 309 horsepower. At the same time, no particular complaints arise. A lot of problems that arose with him in past models - corrected, now it remains only to change the oil on the regulations (every 10 to 15 thousand km) and the timing belt (every 150 thousand km, along with a set of rollers and a pump).

But about the diesel engine I would like to tell more. Because, voluntarily or unwittingly, but every car enthusiast that is interested in the Land Cruiser model, knows about the atmospheric diesel engine used on the Land Cruiser 100. Many motorists attribute to him immortality and incredible traction power, it is worth recognizing - deservedly assign. Therefore, we will describe in detail all the nuances of the new 1VD-FTV diesel engine with two turbochargers.

Russian versions of a two hundred "Kruzka" are equipped with an eight-cylinder diesel engine with a working volume of 4.5 liters, which in the homeland develops the capacity of up to 286 horsepower, but for the harsh Russian conditions up to 235 horsepower was defined. It is worth noting, it was done not so much for tax attractiveness, but to improve the reliability of the modern motor using low-quality diesel fuel and oil. But despite the reduced power, the motor develops to 615 nm of torque.

Despite the fact that the Toyota Land Cruiser is in the top three leaders of the most reliable cars, without cash will not cost. Only automotive oils for replacement will need about 9.5 liters, but the oil filter will cost much cheaper - about 500 rubles.

But with timely service and constant attention to the power unit, you can safely ride up to 200,000 km, not particularly worrying for the power unit and attachments. Of course, this indicator does not compare with 1Hz atmospheric older, which is able to drive up to 1,000,000 km without serious intervention, but for the modern engine especially the turbocharged - 200 thousand km of mileage without repairing a good indicator.

And yet, there are several problems with which the owner of the supported Land Cruiser may face. Approximately 80,000 km of mileage there is a chance to face the pump, which is in the collapse of cylinders. Due to uncomfortable placement, the pump constantly experiencing elevated temperatures and quickly produces all its resources. Also, the car owner may encounter oil consumption, up to 2 liters by 10,000 km. At the same time, the car can consume oil directly from the conveyor or keep the normal level throughout the warranty period. Most often, two turbocharger becomes the water flow of oil, but the diagnostics indicates their fulfillment. Therefore, it will be cheaper and easier to have an oil reserve in the trunk than to repair, which can be poured into a large amount.

Another weak point can be a fuel filter. Not only are the Japanese reduced the engine power and the pressure in the fuel system protecting the thin electronics of injection from the domestic diesel fuel, so also reinsured by installing a deep fuel purification filter with a water availability sensor. You should not be surprised if 5,000 km run after 5,000 km, you will have to change the filter due to the signaling on the dashboard, ignoring the warning signal can lead to serious trouble with the injection system.

Operation and maintenance of automatic transmission

Toyota Land Cruiser 200 is completed with automatic transmissions for six AB60F steps. It is positioned by the company as not requiring the maintenance and replacement of oil, that is, eternal and serving throughout the life of the car. But if you follow the advice of an automaker, that is, all the chances of getting to expensive repairs or a complete replacement of transmissions through 200,000 km of run.

But, going against the advice and carry out a regular one for the box, you can get a really eternal aggregate. Therefore, many experts recommend full transmission service every 60,000 km. To do this, it will be necessary to replace the hydraulic fluid in the box itself, gearbox and distribution. Also not forget to change the filter and the pallet laying.

And more and nothing about the automatic box on TLK 200. In this position, designers and engineers surpassed all expectations.

Operation and maintenance of hodovka and suspension

It is worth noting that the suspension in Toyota Land Cruiser 200 turned out to be super home. The front suspension is made in a double-dimensional version and completely independent with springs. Rear suspension dependent with springs.

As for the rest of the hodovka, then Toyota surprises. If you have been owned by another car, then faced with frequent repair and replacement of so-called consumables - steering tips, stabilizer racks, silent blocks, etc., but exploiting Land Cruiser 200, you do not remember frequent repair. After 100,000 km run, the running part of the car does not require intervention and works at 100%.

Of course, there are also their own features, but they are rather due to the style of driving and luck. For example, the front shock absorbers on the SUVs have the property to be very hot, so there is a chance that they will flow after 100,000 km of run, but this will happen only under the condition of long trips at high speeds. In ordinary urban mode - they are as durable as everything else.

There are problems with pneumatic suspension, minor compared to cars of other brands. The cylinders themselves and pump do not break for a long time, but adaptable stabilizers can fail at an unexpected moment. The reason for this is the adjusting valve, which is solved by simple adjustment conducted by the "trailer" during work on the collapse of the wheels.

The most unpleasant problem becomes another - broken bolts of levers boiling tightly, not letting adjust the angle of the collapse of the wheels. Solution Banal and simple - old bolts are cut off and new.

As for the brake system, everything is individually and depends on the driving manner. Some drivers change brake pads every 10,000 km, and there are unicumes capable of driving all 50,000 without replacement. It is worth considering the weight of the car in 3 tons to stop.

The weakest place in the "Kruzak" will be the steering rail, acquiring a noticeable backlash to 200,000 km of mileage. Unfortunately, it is inevitable, but three ways are solved: the first is to give the steering rack to repair; The second is to replace the new one; The third is to leave as it is.

Body quality, electrician and salon

Before, it is worth remembering that Toyota Land Cruiser is a frame car. This has its undeniable advantages, but requires responsibility for the anti-corrosion protection of the frame, especially on the welds. Therefore, it is not necessary to save on anti-corrosion processing, and it is necessary to conduct it annually. But Toyota paint coating, at a high level, and if there are traces of corrosion on the car, it is a sign of unsuccessful repair after an accident.

There are practically no complaints about the wiring even after 100,000 km of run, with the exception of the singular moment. The turbocharger control units are located behind the right refrigerator, in which special ventilation openings are made for cooling them. But together with the cooling air, the dirt with water flies on the blocks, which negatively affects the wiring of these blocks, even the blocks themselves and work without any complaints. Therefore, it is always necessary to remember the possible violation of contacts in the part, especially with a tanned indicator, and a sharp decline in the dynamics.

Separately, I want to say about the quality of the interior decoration. Even after three years of active use of the car, the materials of the interior decoration and seats are not issued traces of active use and scuffs.

Output

Toyota Land Cruiser 200 is not in vain is considered one of the most reliable cars. If a person had the opportunity to purchase this SUV, then its service can not seem too expensive. Although the car is not considered not the most prestigious, but problems and cash costs it will be less than with cars of a similar class of other manufacturers. Land Cruiser 200 can be safe advised to buy.

Lovers of huge, which are referred to as SUVs, have to be completely difficult. Among the extensive row presented in the salons of all sorts of models is quite difficult to choose their optimal car. Most recently, in front of Russians in all its glory, the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 appeared, which in a short time was able to collect his range of admirers. It cannot be said that the novelty has greatly delighted the Nissan concern, since at that time this automaker had no model that could become one step with Land Cruiser. The Nissan Infiniti QX 56 and Patrol Y61 previously developed by the designer-designer engineers could not exceed the comfortable car from Toyota. True, in a short time, a new Nissan Patrol appeared before potential consumers, the main advantage of which was the introduction of independent suspension. In the following article, we will try to compare Nissan Patrol and Land Cruiser 200, choose the most comfortable, mannere and comfortable car.

Comparison of technical characteristics

Let's start immediately from those properties that are identical to both vehicles. First of all, it is worth noting the power unit - both cars have the type of engine V8, the type of drive (4WD), the depth of the bridge (70 cm), disk front and rear brakes.

Nissan Patrol compared to Toyota Land Cruiser 200 has a slightly superior indicators relative to the working volume (5552 cm against 4608), motion motion (405/309), maximum torque, automatic transmission (7 checkpoints against 6 checkpits), clearance (275 / 225), overclocking up to 100 km / h (6.6 / 8.6), speed (210/205), the volume of the fuel tank (100/93). True, as not good, Nissan Patrol, Toyota Land Cruiser surpasses its fuel consumption. If the first is absorbed in a mixed cycle of 14.5 liters, then the second is 13.6 liters.

"National" Features TLC 200

Despite the fact that the practical majority of Russians are convinced of the middle-risk and nearest country roads (while the female representatives are increasingly choosing maneuverable compact small bars), in the head, many had a desire to "manage the dream" from the Toyota concern.

The object of this very desire is most often the presentable Land Cruiser 200 or an extreme case of RAV4. The developers of a stylish modern SUV are still proud of their invention, in view of which with love and trepidation treat his design and exterior, afraid of the innovated modifications to spoil idyll.

There is some visible mystic around the "two hundredth" Land Cruiser, since, no matter how it sounds paradoxically, it is worth improving the model and equip it with the best indicators of manageability and comfort, independent suspension and other fashionable elements - everything, the car will immediately lose its status. True, the manager of Toyota may not think at all over this, they managed to create a strong endfully car, which is ready to pass practical any off-road. As the practice of recent years, Prado and Hilux, in view of the huge cost, cannot become a Land Cruiser worthy competitors. English Defender and American Runner will also not be able to bypass Toyota's development in the ranking of the best SUVs.

Characteristic features of Nissan Patrol

Nissan Patrol Y62, which found a place in the hearts of many Russians, is located on the same base as the last Infiniti QX 56. Patrol is most likely created to create a decent competition LC 200, in view of which he became longer and Wide, with a larger wheelbase and clearance.

Nissan Patrol has an excellent monumental exterior that is not reflected in a negative way on a spacious cabin. Regarding the free place inside the car it is impossible to say that it is better: Nissan Patrol or Lend Cruiser, as the externally more compact Toyota is not inferior to anything in the convenience, according to experts, the salon space of two cars has to dance.

Nissan Patrol Chairs, located in the second row, slightly above the seats of the cruiser's lend. A full-fledged third row of seats is conveniently folded, without reducing the space of the luggage compartment, in turn, the chairs in TLC 200 are moved to the sides, making the trunk area a little less.

True, for the night, which can make fishermen and hunters spend the night in, it is preferable to choose Land Cruiser, where the removed second row of the seats leaves a more flat floor than in the "patrol". Despite the fact that the boards in these presentable expensive cars are transporting only units, those who want to take skis with them, get them more convenient from the Land Cruiser, equipped with a swollen luggage door, the lower compartment is capable of smoothly descending.

Regardless which model would prefer the auto owner: Nissan Patrol or Land Cruiser 100, the owner will have a car equipped with a spacious refrigerator, which will be located between the front seats. Nissan Patrol has one additional feature - its refrigerator is equipped with a bidirectional lid, which passengers can be opened with ease, located even on the second row of seats.

The Land Cruiser of the updated version is not inferior to his opponent on the new-fashioned "chips", now his owner can enjoy the ventilation of the front armchairs, heated steering wheel and four-zone climate control. It is noteworthy the possibility of passengers traveling in the second row, to independently manage the climate control unit, adjusting the parameters as it is more convenient. In turn, Nissan Patrol exceeds a cruise in terms of the presence of adaptive cruise control and built-in monitor head restraints.

Not knowing what to stop my choice, the motorist can with closed eyes to buy Nissan Patrol or Land Cruiser, any of the selected models will be able to please the new-fashioned modern elements of the filling. True, those who are accustomed to conservatism, it is better to choose TLC 200, as its design against the backdrop of more flex and massive wood trim, filling the "patrol", makes Land Cruiser more cozy and comfortable.

Technical capabilities of devices

Gasoline power units, which are equipped with Nissan Patrol and Land Cruiser, open the owner of many possibilities. Fans of speed and huge returns are preferable to choose a Patrol engine, an eight-cylinder V-shaped motor with a volume of 5.6 liters with a return of 405 liters. from. It allows you to accelerate from zero speed to 100 in just 6.6 s, which puts this car on one bar with modern sports cars. As for the power unit from Toyota, it is still a bit simpler here, the engine volume is almost less, and the return to the hundred "horses" is weaker. This affected the speed of overclocking to 100 km / h, increasing it to 8.6 s.

Subjectively examined the dynamic characteristics of both machines, it is safe to answer that Bether Nissan Patrol, Land Cruiser, in turn, is better. As practice shows, the Patrol motor blast requires regular power in the form of 25-30 liters of fuel (riding around the city).

Both vehicles are equipped with exclusively automatic transmissions with manual mode, while Patrol has a seven-step unit, Land Cruiser boasts only a 6-speed gearbox. Despite the presence of all seven stages, for Patrol is characterized by a slight delay during the start, and all the switching is not less hidden from the user. As for the Land Cruiser, the automatic transmission slightly slows down a car during the start of movement, a sharp braking for the machine is not peculiar. And in general, despite the fact that the brake system Land Cruiser is an order of magnitude better than that which Nissan Patrol possesses, both cars with a sharp "stupor" bend forward, and the latter, in addition to everything else, goes away.

The huge advantage of Nissan Patrol, as many car enthusiasts believe, is an independent suspension, however, in practice, it is equally difficult to manage these cars, even without considering that both cars allow the owner simply forget about all the irregularities and the road surfaces. The steering device Land Cruiser makes not think about vibrations, its feedback is somewhat better, the course stability of the "collected", but all these superiority overlap transverse rolls, which are more than Patrol. During ride on Nissan Patrol, his restraint is immediately striking, sharp turns are devoid of strong demolitions of the rear axle and rolls. Installed in Land Cruiser 200 ESP is also worthy of attention, although "riding" will like more about those who are not afraid of tangible rolls.

Patency of SUVs

If you put Nissan Patrol against the Land Cruiser 200, and make both cars in Saudi Arabia or United Arab Emirates, where everything is covered with sand, it will be possible to highlight an explicit favorite during the first ten minutes. Nissan Patrol will be able to surpass Land Cruiser 200, as the first place should be delivered to the first place for the power unit. However, to experience these cars in the sand, most Russians will not, Russian realities - dirt, snow-covered gates and marsh terrain, but, despite this, Patrol among other roads does not have a section "Dirt".

Multifunctional systems of devices

Compare Nissan Patrol and Land Cruiser 200 is simple enough, especially when it comes to various off-road systems. The fact is that, despite the multifunctionality of properties that allow the Land Cruiser to pass through any off-road, its functional controlling system is located in separate parts of the panel, which significantly agitates the ability to quickly switch the necessary buttons, especially if the Land Cruiser owner leaves extremely rarely. Unlike this car, Nissan Patrol has a two-stage washer that meets absolutely for all available Off-Road systems.

It is 275 mm, and Land Cruiser 200-225 mm (which is enough for him). In practice, Cruiser is better moving the fractures of the road, rather than Nissan, who is ready to lie down the "belly" for each Uhabin, however, despite the proximity of the bottom to cover, the owner of Patrol, even with a large desire, will not be able to damage his car, since the elements are reliably hidden and arranged on The order is higher than the frame. True, even such huge SUVs, which everything seems simple and affordable, can get into a very unpleasant situation - both cars are able to "hang" in a soft ground. If a person is for the first time behind the wheel of any of the compared aggregates, he may in a few minutes drive cars along the most "ears", sowing on the belly, it will be very difficult to get the car, as it will take additional help of some powerful tractor.

Small technical tricks

Usually people who acquire Toyota LC 200 or Nissan Patrol practice him not only off-road, but also within the city, in connection with which it is possible to conclude about the convenience of these titans, which life brought into close city alleys. The fact is that Patrol has a very useful feature that allows the owner of the vehicle to see on the on-board computer monitor "View of the street from above", through the built-in functional the picture can appear in which images from four cameras can appear. This property helps a dimensive car do not hurt the nearest cars and carefully park.

A comparison of the Land Cruiser 200 with Nissan Patrol Relatively Comfortability will present the last additional points, since Patrol is equipped with a plurality of useful functions, in particular adaptive cruise control, double-sided refrigerator lid and built into head restraints monitors. Toyota LC 200 is trying to confront the opponent, attracting consumers by four-zone climate control, adjustable by even the passengers of the middle row and heated chairs. In total, comparing all the facts, it is safe to say that Land Cruiser is a little softer and quieter.
