Internally referred to as J150, the fourth-generation Land Cruiser Prado is getting on a bit. The year was 2009 when Toyota started producing the mid-size SUV, which works out at 8 years of age or thereabout. Nevertheless, the LC Prado is not yet ready to go out.
It’s widely believed Toyota will take its sweet time about it for the fifth-generation model to replace the J150, but nothing is official as of yet. In the meantime, the automaker’s British arm tries to sweeten the deal with a luxed-up Land Cruiser Prado. Dubbed “Invincible X,” this fellow here is basically the new range-topper for the UK specification of the Land Cruiser Prado.
Compared to the £55,930 Invincible, the £57,880 Invincible X packs special touches such as the chrome door mirror caps, a chromed tailpipe, and matte black-finish 18-inch Pinnacle alloy wheels. The interior, meanwhile, features full leather upholstery that’s available in three flavors: Masari Black, Ortaka Ivory, or a two-tone combo of black and brown. On the standard features list, the Invincible X boasts gaming rear-seat entertainment, Blu-Ray plater, triple-zone air conditioning, surround sound audio, and a big sunroof.
The sheer size of the damn thing is complemented by Toyota’s Safety Sense suite of active safety features, providing goodies such as Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Pre-Collision System. If it’s off-road prowess you’re most interested in, the UK-specific 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser Invincible X has definitely got you covered.
Starting with a strong 2.8-liter D-4D turbo diesel engine and a tried-and-tested six-speed automatic transmission, the Land Cruiser Invincible X also brags with 215 millimeters of ground clearance, 700-mm deep water wading, and the ability to climb 42-degree slopes. A Torsen limited-slip differential can change the front-to-rear drive balance from 50:50 to 30:70. The so-called Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, by comparison, optimizes anti-roll bar behavior to suppress body roll when the going gets rough (i.e. off-road).
Needless to say it, but the Invincible X certainly deserves its name.
