FIRST DRIVE: New Toyota Land Cruiser vs Scotland

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIKrrGPyiaM

Few cars have set the internet alight in the past year quite like the new Toyota Land Cruiser. Just. Look. At. It! Mixing a whole load of right angles with some retro FJ40 Land Cruiser vibes, the design is spot on. Thank goodness too, because after seven decades the Land Cruiser had become a dumpy and dull (if still capable and reliable) 4×4. Amazing how a little love from the design department can transform our expectations… But has the new Land Cruiser got the goods to back up its new looks? It needs to clamber over the rough stuff like its ancestors, yet in the face of rivals like the Land Rover Defender, now be comfy and cosseting enough for the school run or daily commute. To find out what’s what, Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, took the new Toyota Land Cruiser to Scotland for a rather tough first test.

FIRST LOOK: BMW Vision Neue Klasse X – BMW Design Back On Track?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwqEqiy0A2k

BMW is about to go back for the sake of its future, plundering its fabled design language from the 1960s to clothe its new generation of oh-so-crucial electric vehicles – and this SUV concept is our latest glimpse of what’s to come. It’s the BMW Vision Neue Klasse X, a follow-up to the Vision Neue Klasse saloon we saw in 2023, and together the pair of concepts show how BMW’s new-but-old design ideas will evolve onto different bodystyles. Top Gear Magazine’s Jason Barlow has been to see both Neue Klasse models, so let him be your guide to what the future holds for BMW as the company redefines itself for the electric era.
