Hi Folks,
I had a chance to go visit Toyota showroom today for an inquiry on Toyota Innova for my colleague. As i stepped into the showroom, parked right into the center was monstrous Toyota LC200. Even though went their for checking out Innova, i completely forgot about it on seeing this beast. LC200 has the best road presence in an SUV i have ever seen (Mind you i have had chance to travel in Land Rover, Cayenne and soft roaders like BMW X5 and Audi Q7). No suv that i have seen till date came cloase to LC200 if you consider just it's road presence. SA promptly brought be the broucher and once i read the broucher i knew why i felt this monster has such road presence.
Dimensions:-
Length-: 4,950mm (Woow that's 5metres OMG)
Width:- 1,970mm
Height:- 1,865mm
Then read on about the engine. Under the hood like the monstrous exteriors an equally huge 4.5L V8 diesel. Engine displaces 4461cc and outputs 285 odd horses. LC200 needs such a big heart considering it has to haul nearlt 3.3 tonnes.
They don't have a single TD vehicle across Kerala. SA told me no one has a TD LC200 in India which is a bit hard to believe IMHO. I countered him by asking who will buy this vehicle without a TD? He replies confidently - "Sir one LC200 costs 1.45crore and we can't afford one for TD. A customer of LC200 just books one and never ask for TD." I am little bit convinced now. So we move on to next topic of cost breakup. LC200 is brought to India as CBU and will be imported only aftera firm booking as per the SA and has OTR of 1.45crore. Road tax alone costs about 11lakhs i have a mild heart attack and don't ask him for further details.
Regarding features LC200 is equipped with everything one can find in a luxury car. Couldn't take a close look at the interiors but managed to take couple of exterior and interior pics.
Some of the pics:-
Interior pics. Sorry couldn't get a chance to feel the interiors.
LC is equipped with 4 camera(one in front, one each in rear view mirror and one in rear). Pics of camera.
Tire size Yokohama 285/60 R18 awesome.
Just for comparisons to normal sedan that we own here, LC200 fog lamps is much bigger than my car's headlights. This truly is an awesome vehicle and if i had 1.45crores would surely buy it just to have that feel of driving such a monster. Will start saving up for this monster from today onwards.
