    Landcruiser TDV8 V Range Rover Sport TDV8

    Was playing around on the internet on the weekend and found these interesting facts favouring the Rangie compared to the Toyota Landcruiser: -
    • 40 Kw extra power.
    • 90 Nm extra torque.
    • 73mm Longer wheel base.
    • 50mm wider track front & rear.
    • 600 Kg lighter.
    • 1.6 Seconds quicker to 100 Kph.
    • 1.1 Lt per 100 Klm's better fuel economy (Actually better than this in real life tests).


    And they say that Landcruiser is the king of the road and the ultimate tow tug!

    Cheers, Craig

    One does cost a hell of a lot less than the other,and one has numerous aftermarket accessories available,where the other has virtually none.

    One is a family off road wagon,the other a luxury around town vehicle with off road ability.

    One has fantastic resale compared with the other

    Comparing apples and oranges.

    Landcruiser TDV8 V Range Rover Sport TDV8

    My L322 tdv8 is a family off road wagon.

    Toyota’s LC hold value much better than a new L322. But I’d much rather buy a good used L322 tdv8 than a same age LC which costs more and has less.
    L322 tdv8 poverty pack - wow

    L322 SDV8 is incredibly underrated 4WD. Brilliant tow car, off road, family wagon, comfortable and unbelievable economy for a V8. Oh - and reliable. Yep - Toyota owners would hate to hear that ofcourse but mine was incredibly reliable too.

    Hey Paul,
    I agree with you on the price difference and the availability of aftermarket accessories, however disagree with your view on the Range Rovers off road capabilities.
    I have proven this first hand against Landcruisers and Patrols. The two big things going for the Range Rover are 1. It's unmatched traction control system. 2. No diffs to get hung up on.

    Toyota do a great job of covering up their faults, especially engine problems.

    Not sure about other Rangie owners, but I would choose it over the Landcruiser any day.

    Cheers, Craig

    I don’t think I mentioned anything about off road capabilities.

    In fact I would think with a good set of heavy duty off road tyres these late model Land Rovers probably are more capable than any other similar vehicle on the planet.

    But the issue is finding a set of heavy duty off road tyres with a descent sidewall height that will fit without going oversize.

    As for comparing vehicle faults,reliability,etc,I think that has been done to death in other threads.

    But seriously,a new GXL 200,even without fleet discount can be had for quite a bit less than $90K,a Sahara,less than $110K,so the two vehicles are in completely different classes,and not really comparable.

    Yes really the comparable Toyota product to the RRS/RR TDV8 is a Lexus TDV8 - now while the LC may hold its resale value, the same vehicle in Lexus livery depreciates as much as the LR opposition.

    There is nothing wrong with the 200 series TDV8 in LC and Lexus versions - they are just different from the LR product - comes down to preference.

    Here was your quote.....One is a family off road wagon,the other a luxury around town vehicle with off road ability.

    My original post mentioned facts favouring the Range Rover Sport compared to the Landcruiser which actually surprised me.

    Each to their own I suppose
