The side of the SUV received a minimum of changes, the same large rear-view mirrors, but now on the door panel, and not in the corner of the front windows. The wheel arches have turned out to be sharper, and at the base are installed 20 ″ alloy wheels of a new design.

On a pleasant note, it is also worth noting the JBL audio system with 14 speakers and a large panoramic sunroof.
The Toyota Cruiser 300 salon itself, at the start of sales, will be offered in beige, black or brown versions. Leather interior upholstery with inserts of natural materials (wood, aluminum or carbon).

A nice "bun" will be the engine start system using a fingerprint, as promised by the manufacturer. Yes, the safety of the new Toyota Land Cruiser 300 has been improved and so far the company is trying not to disclose this part of the car until the presentation.
The dimensions of the novelty are likely to change minimally, and the frame structure and continuous axles, the proprietary all-wheel drive system, crawler gears and all kinds of locks will remain at the heart. The loaded GR-S package will reliably receive a modified adaptive suspension, off-road tires as standard.
Well, it remains to closely monitor the actions of the manufacturer and wait for the official presentation of the new Toyota Land Cruiser 300 2021 in order to fully understand how the new generation can surprise its fans. Recall, despite the fact that the car has not yet been disclosed in the AEO, Japan and other Asian countries, there are already pre-orders for the first batches of the legendary SUV.
