Toyota Land Cruiser

4.1/5

Built in the toughest tradition and very much in the mould of Land Cruisers before it, right down to its unashamedly retro styling, the latest model is a robust and rugged 4x4 and will appeal to those who may be looking at an Ineos Grenadier or Mercedes GL, as well as the Land Rover Defender. It’s more workmanlike than most of those rivals, though, and that’s no bad thing, as its go-anywhere nature is very much core to the Land Cruiser’s appeal.

The Mustang has evolved over time and in its current guise, it is one of the more accomplished GT cars out there.
