Toyota's 4x4 Land Cruiser is On a EV Horizon
Toyota is planning to bring the stunning performance of electric vehicles to their already impressive Off-Roader, the 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser! Thanks to an ongoing trial in Australia, a battery powered Electric Land Cruiser may soon be in the grasp of consumer drivers as this trial will rocket Toyota's EV Program even further into the future.

The Toyota Land Cruiser has been a staple in off-roading for 70 years. Its first generation was a scrappy goat similar to the Willys truck used by the American military in the 40 s and 50 s. As of 2019, Toyota reports selling over 10 million units, and its long-standing SUV has seen service in militaries, militias, and racing events, but until recently there was some fear that the Land Cruiser might fall into obscurity as IC Engines are replaced by electric motors.
