Frankfurt Motor Show 2017: 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Makes Public Debut

Toyota has revealed the 2018 Land Cruiser at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show and there are quite a few updates that the car gets. The body-on-frame SUV has gone through quite a few changes and you can see these right from the front fascia, as it’s been thoroughly redesigned. As you can see in the pictures, there are generous openings to ensure effective engine cooling. The wise vertical bars and the reshaped headlamps look good on the car and give the Land Cruiser a much needed modern look.
