The 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser epitomizes rugged capability paired with sophisticated luxury. This legendary SUV, renowned for conquering challenging terrains, received notable enhancements for the 2010 model year, focusing on safety, technology, and performance.
Enhanced Safety and Technology for 2010
Toyota introduced the Safety Connect telematics system to the 2010 Land Cruiser, a significant upgrade in safety and security. This system offers Automatic Collision Notification, Stolen Vehicle Location, an Emergency Assistance Button (SOS), and enhanced Roadside Assistance. In the event of a severe collision or airbag deployment, Automatic Collision Notification automatically alerts a response center. The system can even dispatch emergency services if occupants are unable to communicate. The SOS button provides immediate access to help in emergencies or for various roadside needs. Furthermore, Safety Connect aids in locating the vehicle if stolen. The first year of service is included with the purchase of a new 2010 Land Cruiser.
Beyond safety, the 2010 Land Cruiser boasts upgraded technology features. XM NavTraffic®, integrated with the newly added satellite radio (including a 90-day trial subscription to XM® Satellite Radio), provides real-time traffic updates to help drivers navigate congested areas. The audio system now features Bluetooth® compatibility, an auxiliary audio jack, and a USB port for seamless connection with portable music devices. Adding to convenience and privacy, gray rear hatch privacy glass became a standard feature.
Powerful Performance and Unwavering Capability
The heart of the 2010 Land Cruiser is a robust 5.7-liter DOHC V8 engine, generating an impressive 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. Advanced technologies like Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and the Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS) optimize power, fuel efficiency, and emissions. Mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift mode, the Land Cruiser delivers a smooth yet commanding driving experience.
Built on a rugged body-on-frame platform, the Land Cruiser excels in off-road adventures while maintaining a comfortable on-road ride. The high-mount double-wishbone front suspension and four-link rear suspension, both equipped with gas-pressure shock absorbers, contribute to exceptional handling and stability. The Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) further enhances performance by adjusting sway resistance, minimizing body roll on-road and maximizing wheel articulation off-road.
Equipped with full-time four-wheel drive and a TORSEN® limited-slip locking center differential, the 2010 Land Cruiser tackles challenging terrain with confidence. Features like Crawl Control, Downhill Assist Control (DAC), and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) provide exceptional control and maneuverability in demanding off-road situations.
Comprehensive Safety Features for Peace of Mind
The 2010 Land Cruiser prioritizes safety with a comprehensive suite of features. The STAR Safety System includes a four-wheel multi-terrain anti-lock braking system (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), and Active Traction Control (A-TRAC). Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) further enhances directional control. Ten standard airbags, including driver and front passenger dual-stage advanced airbags, knee airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, and roll-sensing side curtain airbags, provide exceptional occupant protection.
Luxurious Comfort and Convenience
The 2010 Land Cruiser’s interior offers a haven of comfort and convenience. A four-zone climate control system ensures a pleasant cabin environment, while features like a JBL premium audio system, Smart Key keyless entry, and heated power front seats add a touch of luxury.
The 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser truly delivers a remarkable combination of off-road prowess, on-road refinement, advanced technology, and comprehensive safety.
