Toyota's "shorty" three-door Land Cruiser 71 Series, a compact and updated version of the iconic off-roader, is now available for purchase in the United Arab Emirates.

Priced at 169,900 AED (approximately $46,000 or 42,230 Euro at current exchange rates), this Land Cruiser 71 variant is distinguished by its 91-inch wheelbase (2,310 mm), which is 16.5 inches (420 mm) shorter than the five-door model. Celebrating its 40th anniversary next year, the vehicle combines classic appeal with modern features.

Despite its vintage design, Toyota has continuously upgraded the Land Cruiser 70/71 Series. The latest model boasts LED headlights, a nine-inch infotainment system, and safety features like dual front airbags, lane departure alert, ABS, brake assist, and a pre-collision system. Additionally, it includes hill-start assist, a tire pressure warning system, and daytime running lights.

The vehicle is equipped with amenities such as power windows, central door locking, a digital driver's display, and a steering wheel with tilt and telescoping adjustments. It also supports Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and offers keyless entry.

Powered by a 4.0-liter V6 gasoline engine, it generates 230 horsepower and 266 pound-feet (360 Newton-meters) of torque, transmitted to all four wheels via a six-speed automatic gearbox. The SUV rides on 16-inch alloys with 265/70 R16 tires and features a 90-liter (23.7-gallon) fuel tank.

Available in four colors (silver, beige, white, and gray), the interior is exclusively designed with a five-seat configuration, a tan finish, and synthetic leather upholstery. Customers in the UAE ordering the Land Cruiser 71 can expect delivery by the end of February 2024.
