The Toyota Land Cruiser is a proper, old-fashioned bruiser of an SUV with proper off-road credentials and ability to go anywhere, and keep on going.

But the world wants their SUVs to offer more and more in the way of glitz and gloss, more in the ways of toys and tech and more in the way of car-like manners and handling.

The Land Cruiser can’t really offer car-like handling, but it has upped the stakes in the other departments with the arrival of a facelift for 2014.

The 2014 Land Cruiser gets a new nose – the de rigueur facelift option – new headlights and running lights, new grill and bumper and round the back some new lights, all set-off by new alloys.

Inside Toyopta has give the Land Cruiser a new set of switches for the drive modes, a new speedo and rev counter, a 4.2″ TFT screen, new wood and aluminium finishes and upgraded leather.

It all works to give the Land Cruiser a bit more showroom appeal, and new trim levels – Active, Icon and Invincible – that offer decent specs from the off.

Those specs include 17″ alloys, electric windows, Climate, rear view camera, Bluetooth, Cruise, Hill Start and keyless even on the entry-level Active, with the Icon (from £47,495) adding 18″ alloys, Leather, powered heated front seats, power third row seats, folding mirrors, auto lights and wipers, parking sensors and more.

Opt for the range-topping Invincible trim level (from £52,495) and you can add in stuff like rear electric suspension & Adaptive Variable Suspension, Multi-terrain monitor with four cameras, Rear Entertainment, 2nd row heated seats, Sunroof and Crawl Control.

The new Land Cruiser also gets the latest Toyota Touch 2 System with a new screen offering drag and swipe controls (just like a smartphone), Tom Tom real time traffic alerts and Google Street View.

Extra options include the Safety Pack (cruise with pre-crash and more) at £13,60, Off-Road Pack (the stuff the Invincible gets as standard) for £1,650 and two tone leather (a no-cost option).

The 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser facelift is now on sale with first deliveries due in the UK in December.
