Best car I have ever seen

This car was the best due his mileage, comfort, and other features of safety make this car perfect so I considered this car is best and also the best in look, and the best because it was a hybrid.

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 Y'all should realize that LX700 is already on the line to come and we're still getting the damn outdated LX500, my god car market is ded in India.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.

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.
