Middle East, especially the Gulf countries, is the biggest market for the Toyota’s Hilux pickup truck and Land Cruiser SUV. That explains why the first leaked footage of the all-new 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser emerges from that part of the world, revealing the car’s new face and some of its technical highlights.

Styling-wise, the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser appears to be influenced to a great degree by Lexus SUV models. The headlights and especially the grille have become a lot busier than before with all sorts of fairly vulgar things going on in them. But we reckon that would go down well in the Mid-East market, and there is also the possibility that the Land Cruiser that ends up in Europe and America will have a different look.

Apart from the new face, the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser also gets a number of revised body panels, one would assume for improved space, comfort, and efficiency through weight reduction. As for the engines, the V8 motor will most likely live on largely unchanged, while an improved V6 unit will also be offered. As always, the SUV will be incredibly feature-rich and as comfortable as riding on a cloud.
