Toyota Baby Land Cruiser Powerful Engine
The Toyota Baby Land Cruiser gets a proven 2.7-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine producing 163 PS and 246 Nm of torque. A strong-hybrid variant adds electric assistance for better low-end response and efficiency. All engines pair with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Off-road credentials include low-range transfer case, rear differential lock (on 4×4 models), and excellent approach/departure angles.
