Toyota has introduced a special edition of the Land Cruiser in Russia called "200 Brownstone."
It's a rare occasion when Toyota launches a limited-run version of
one of its models only for Russia but they have done it this time with
the Land Cruiser 200 Brownstone. Don't expect an extensive range of
modifications as the only exterior change can be found in the front
fascia where we notice the aftermarket-like headlights with black
enclosures. In addition, there are now black inserts behind the chrome
bars of the grille.
Step inside the five - or seven-seat cabin and you will immediately
find a full brown leather upholstery as well as wood and silver trims to
spice things up. Toyota is offering the special Land Cruiser only with a
4.5-liter V8 diesel engine outputting 235 bhp (175 kW) and 615 Nm (454
lb-ft) sent to both axles with help from a 6-speed automatic
transmission.
In Japan, the Land Cruiser had a minor change in 2009 when it received
the 4.6 L V8 1UR-FE engine and the gearbox was replaced with a 6-speed
automatic. Although the new 4608 cc 1UR-FE is smaller than the old 4663 cc 2UZ-FE
engine, the power has been increased from 212 to 234 kW (288 to 318 PS;
284 to 314 hp), torque increased from 448 to 460 N·m (330 to 339 lb·ft)
and fuel consumption improved from 6.6 to 7.1 km/L (19 to 20 mpg-; 16 to 17 mpg-US) (Japan 10·15 mode measurement).
In the Middle East, the Land Cruiser 200 series was introduced in
late 2007 as a 2008 model, for 2008 to 2010 there was three engine
choices, 240 hp 4.0 L 1GR-FE petrol, 271 hp 2UZ-FE petrol and
217 hp-232 hp 1VD-FTV 4.5 L turbo diesel. Starting in 2011 the 362 hp
3UR-FE was offered along with the previous engines. For 2012 the 1GR-FE
gained dual VVT-i which increased horsepower to 271 hp, the 4.7 L 2UZ-FE
was dropped in favor of the new 304 hp 1UR-FE, and the 5.7 L and 4.5 L
diesel were unchanged.
In North America, the Land Cruiser 200 series is offered with one
trim level and engine, the 5.7 L 3UR-FE V8 petrol engine producing
284 kW (386 PS; 381 hp) and 544 N·m (401 lb·ft) of torque channeled
through a six-speed automatic. Towing is rated at 3,700 kg (8,200 lb).
Beige or black leather is standard along with a 14 speaker JBL sound
system. The only wheel choice is 18 in (460 mm) allowing a lot of
sidewall so the vehicle can be driven off-road without modification
though a more aggressive tread pattern is advised for deep mud.
For the 2013 model year, Toyota added all previously optional safety
and luxury options as standard. The Land Cruiser now gets push-button
start, HID headlights, a power moon-roof, heated front and rear seats, a
rear-seat DVD entertainment system, Bluetooth, rear-view camera with
parking sensors, navigation system, HD radio and En-tune. Another new
feature is the Mulch-terrain Select system which helps control wheelspin
and brake lockup giving the selectable choices of: Rock, Rock &
Dirt, Mogul, Loose Rock, and Mud & Sand.
