Toyota Land Cruiser Se - Electric Land Cruiser

[ProjectWHaT]

At the Japan Mobility Show, Toyota reveals an electric Land Cruiser concept

This Is the First Electric Toyota Land Cruiser

While still a concept, the Toyota Land Cruiser Se could preview an electric off-roader.

What Toyota did say is that this model, which appears to be a concept right now, will offer a high-torque battery electric driving experience and it has three rows. The company also touts how quiet this Land Cruiser is in urban environments and "on-road situations," showing that the focus of this electric offering is definitely the pavement and not getting far off the beaten path.

Interestingly, this is also a monocoque design that Toyota claims makes it responsive and capable in rougher terrain. From looking at this truck’s design, seemingly low clearances and low profile tires, though, that rougher terrain is probably a poorly paved mall parking lot. Dimensionally, this LC is about 202.0 inches long, 78.0 inches wide, and 67.0 inches tall, which makes it nearly identical to the Grand Highlander, a fine vehicle but not one we’d consider the king of off-roading.

Unrelated, but I didn't realize Travis Okulski, ex-Jalopnik and Road and Track journalist, is now at Motor1

It's just so ugly.

Electric 80-series would be cool.

Yeah, just do that. The design doesn’t age.

At least it looks better than quite a few things BWM been putting out lately 😏

Speaking of which, I thought the rear end was inspired by the iX... But they ended up making a more attractive rendition of it
