Land Cruiser customized by Japanese automaker MZ Speed ​​is now available for sale in Japan

Although its arrival on the market is scheduled for the middle of this year, the new generation of the Toyota Land Cruiser has aroused great expectations, and in fact there are many Japanese preparers who have already presented different customization programs, some well known as Liberty Walk and Modellista.

In this specific case, it is an aesthetic kit presented by the Japanese customization specialist MZ Speed ​​and called Exclusive Zeus LUV Line. It is characterized by offering a more sporty and differentiated line in relation to the standard finish.

At the front there is a grille where the Toyota emblem has disappeared and which is finished in matte black. A bumper element with a more aggressive aesthetic has also been included. The front is completed with more daytime running lights. On the sides, redesigned wheel arches and wider skirts stand out. For wheels, MZ Speed ​​offers different possibilities. At the rear, there is a small spoiler over the trunk lid, as well as four exhaust outlets.

The kit is offered unpainted and can be finished in various colors, according to customer preferences.

As far as the engine is concerned, there are no changes. Under the hood are two available options that are offered on the new generation Toyota Land Cruiser, both based on a twin-turbo V6 architecture.

The diesel version displaces 3.3 liters, develops 309 horsepower and a maximum torque of 700 Nm, while the gasoline version increases its size to 3.5 liters. Thanks to this it is capable of delivering 415 hp and 650 Nm. Both mechanics are available with a new 10-speed automatic transmission, a unit that contributes to the reduction of emissions and fuel consumption by around 10% compared to its predecessor.
