A Super SUV Sports car you can never forget

Driving experience - It is made for Indian roads, surely. Pickup is next level with a powerful engine reaching 100 km/h within 4 seconds. I haven't reached the top speed on Indian highways. Looks - Metallic and attractive body, upgraded sportier design. Headlight, taillight, and bumpers are redesigned and give a wow feel. Performance - 8 Drive modes with well-tuned damping & suspension, even the big potholes don't hurt. Mileage is around 8 kmpl and less in the cities of India, so quite a disappointment here, but safety is good at this price. Pros - Comfortability sitting, many features inside, so a perfect SUV as compared to other segments. Cons: I would go for the electric model if provided. Good Mileage could be challenging in the cities of India.

Not worth it

Can't be serious man, I love this car but 2.7 crores!?!? In comparison, the Fortuner is more worth it. Fortuner comes at like 50-60 here, 20-30 in Dubai and Australia, but this comes at 70 lakhs in Dubai but 2.7 in India!?!? That's like 4 times dude. I remember the on-road price being 2.41 crores and now that's the ex-showroom price. My God, Toyota is doing ridiculous with this, it's approaching the price of the LX500. Plus, LX500? Y'all should realize that LX700 is already on the line to come and we're still getting the damn outdated LX500, my god car market is ded in India. This is ridiculous. A GLS would offer better in everything except for reliability, I'd say, but over 1 crore over GLS just for some reliability? Nah, not worth it.

Suv King

Toyota Land Cruiser 300 First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali01 Oct 2025

There’s a rawness to the LC300's experience and a sense of indestructibility that no other SUV can quite replicate. If only it were priced on par with the more indulgent luxury SUVs, the Toyota LC300 would be an even easier recommendation.
