By Toyota has reportedly pressed the pause button on bookings for its flagship SUV, the Land Cruiser, in India. According to credible media sources, the decision comes in the wake of an unexpectedly high demand for the vehicle, prompting the automaker to temporarily suspend new orders. While this move may inconvenience potential buyers, it reflects the immense popularity the Land Cruiser has garnered since its launch in the Indian market last year. Priced at a substantial Rs 2.1 crore (ex-showroom), the Land Cruiser LC300 has become a symbol of luxury and performance in the Indian SUV segment. The hefty price tag, however, has not deterred enthusiasts, contributing to a surge in demand that has led to the temporary cessation of bookings.
The Land Cruiser LC300 in India boasts a formidable 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 diesel engine under its hood. Generating an impressive 305 BHP and a torque of 700 Nm, the SUV is equipped with a sophisticated 10-speed automatic transmission and a robust 4-wheel drive system. This combination of power and advanced features has undoubtedly contributed to the vehicle’s popularity, resulting in the need for Toyota to reevaluate its booking strategy.
Enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the opportunity to book the Land Cruiser need not be disheartened, as reports suggest that the suspension is temporary. Toyota is expected to resume bookings at a later date, and an official announcement will be made to apprise customers of the reopening of the booking window. As the Land Cruiser continues to capture the imagination of Indian consumers, this brief hiatus in bookings is likely a testament to its undeniable success in the luxury SUV market.
