Hey all,
Just wanted to share my first impressions on our new 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser VXR (VJA300).
It’s finished in Pearl White (090), with a beige interior.
I only rode in it 12km (7.5mi) or so, so I can’t comment much on it, but so far I think I love it.
Some slightly odd things I’ve noticed:
-The turn signal sound is less “premium” sounding / feeling than the 200.
-The seatbelt chime is much louder.
-The suspension is floaty at times and super comfortable, but there were a few slightly harsher jolts here and there.
I’m sort of conflicted about it.. on one hand, it’s a huge improvement over the 200 in all aspects, such as convenience (Apple CarPlay, heated/cooled rear seats, etc). On the other hand, it feels like it lost its “uniqueness”, the exterior is a bit bland IMO (front looks like a Chinese SUV, rear looks a bit like a patrol).
I feel like it’s more of a “Luxury Cruiser” than a “Land Cruiser”, but my opinion will most likely change over time.
Sorry for the terrible pictures, but it’s quite humid at night currently and we’ve had it for less than a day. I’m hoping on doing a proper photoshoot / short cinematic hopefully fairly soon..
