When a new vehicle is announced, many drivers, especially those interested in purchasing said vehicle, are eager to learn more about what it will offer on top of the previous model. If you are curious about the 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser and how it stacks up against its 2017 counterpart, then you’re in the right place.
2018 vs 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser
For the 2018 model year, the Land Cruiser is carrying over a majority of the same elements from the previous model. In fact, the only notable changes for 2018 are standard swing-away side mirrors that are activated whenever the vehicle is turned on or off and a new standalone option for a rear-seat entertainment system. Besides that, drivers can expect the same exceptional performance capabilities, striking design elements, and innovative tech features that the Toyota Land Cruiser is known for.
