      Toyota inaugurated its exceedingly projected flagship SUV, the Land Cruiser 300, in the mid months of 2021. As one would imagine from a Land Cruiser, the new-fangled 300 range is large, deluxe, and proficient. Talking of its size, the entry-trim GX-R measures 4 980 mm in length and 1 980 mm wide, whereas the LC300 3.3D ZX comes in at 5 005 mm long with the same width. The broadening wheel curvatures on the GR Sport  Subordinate results in a width of 1 990 mm whereas all  Subordinates results in a width of 1 945 mm tall. Despite the fact that we can go on and on round all the typical provisions such as the LED daytime, head- and fog-lamps, in this article, we will be concentrating on the two powertrains on offer to find out which is the best. https://www.toyotakenya.ke/en/range/toyota-kenya/land-cruiser-300 

Guarantee & Service

     Taking a motor vehicle with a decent guarantee and service blueprint in place is fundamental. Clienteles be at peace bearing in mind that whether you go for the petrol or diesel model, Toyota Guarantees the car for 3-years or 100 000 km, depending on which comes first happens first. Besides, in place across all replicas in the series is a 9-services / 90 000 km service schedule with intermissions set for either 10 000 km or every 12 months, depending on which comes first. Customs can besides optionally buy a lengthier guarantee or service schedule with their Toyota Land Cruiser 300.

Mechanism.

     For the Land Cruiser 300 range, Toyota is offering customers a choice of two engines, one petrol, and one diesel, and here is a comparison between the two, to ascertain the best out of the two. Toyota land cruiser diesel has; Engine of 3.3-litre, turbocharged v 6 diesel, Transmission10 speed automatic,Power225 kW, Torque,700 Nm, Top speed210 km/h, Fuel consumption8.9 L / 100 km, and CO2 emission238 g/km whereas Toyota land cruiser petrol has an engine of 3.5-litre turbo charged v6 petrol, transmission 10-speed automatic, power 305kw, torque 700Nm, top speed 210km/h, fuel consumption 12.1l/100km and CO2 emission of 291g/km.

Ruling

     With cars such as the Toyota Land Cruiser 300, metrics such as the top speed and acceleration doesn't actually matter, as that is not the main emphasis of the model. Nevertheless, despite the fact that we have a top speed number of 210 km/h for both the diesel and petrol products, we suspect that the petrol alternative might just attain that speed faster with its high power number of 305 kW.  

     Whereas the variance of 50 Nm in torque is negligible in day-to-day use, in circumstances where you require that additional slight thrust to the peak, that ridge or mountain, it will come in handy and could be the variance between moving on or finding a substitute path. Where there is a big difference, is between the fuel intake figures. As projected the diesel succeeds in using a lesser amount of fuel, 3.2 L / 100 km to be precise. 

     This implies that, as an alternative to 909 kilometers that you could anticipate from the petrol, the diesel privileges to yield 1 236 km from the 110-liters of fuel. The diesel also yields less CO2 releases which is much healthier for the atmosphere. Whereas we anticipate both to perform certainly well in ordinary circumstances and on more demanding off-road trails, the supplementary torque, better prudence, and fewer releases of the diesel motor is why we would move towards that direction when picking a new Toyota Land Cruiser 300.Visit https://www.toyotakenya.ke/en/range/toyota-kenya/land-cruiser-300
