Weeks of leaked images and spy photos have left few surprises for the big SUV’s tweaked styling, although today’s images offer a far clearer view of the changes.
Other upgrades include new safety equipment and revisions to the V8 petrol and diesel engines – the latter change bringing more power and Euro 5 compliance for the twin-turbo diesel, and improved fuel consumption figures for both.
Improvements to the 4.5-litre twin-turbo V8 diesel include new injectors, revised mapping and a new diesel particulate filter protected against off-roading damage by a special guard.
Toyota claims a 5kW power boost from the changes, now up to 200kW, while torque remains unchanged at 650Nm.
Fuel consumption and emissions are likewise improved, the former slipping from 10L/100km to 9.5L/100km, and the latter now conforming to Euro 5 emissions requirements – although an exact number is still to be confirmed.
The 4.6-litre V8 petrol engine gets a revised air-injection system focused on reduced emissions and Euro 5 compliance, while power and torque remain unchanged at 227kW and 439Nm. Fuel consumption figures are claimed to have improved from the outgoing V8 petrol engine’s 13.6L/100km, although a new number is still to be confirmed.
