I test drove the car last year & it was amazing. The driving was smooth and the ventilated seats kept my back cool. My issues with the car: The car is smaller compared to the LC200 series, the price is high (especially the sports model), lack of exterior and interior color options compared to competitions (nissan patrol has more options in this case) the design from the back feels boxy and for the price they expect us to pay, I expect more in terms of luxury (ex: a Nissan Patrol for the same price has leather embrodery patterns on the seat.
alfuttaim selling to grey market dealers who are selling for 60000 dirhams above retail price and taking a commission on that. whenever i ask alfuttaim they say that they have no stock...like every single time
What is the competition for this car and trim? I guess it is the Nissan Patrol in this region (not sure which trim). But how does it compare to the LC300? Any first hand experiences to share?
Yes, for us here in the region the main competitor will always be the Nissan Patrol and I think it'll be the Patrol LE Platinum CITY as a trim specifically in this case as it is the most city-oriented Patrol. Now when it comes to performance and reliability you can't go wrong with either, I only think the Toyota did a better job refreshing the interior in terms of quality, functionality, and design. I hope this helps answer your question. Anas | Yallamotor
As an owner of this vehicle- My views are that this car is better in terms of performance and comfort compared to LC200 ( my previous car) but i do sometimes feel that the back seats do eat up a lot of space. I miss the split tailgate found in the LC200 but overall drive quality and comfort is better than the Lc200 and the nissan patrol.
Way overpriced... One seat less and way less space in general than the LC200. Only improvement I see is the engine and transmission. And yeah it still has the horn from the Yaris.
I think you are being too harsh, its true the it has one less seat on the third row but the seats are flat foldable.. I'll take that everyday.. it's not an easy implementation for a car that has an old school rear differential and a spare tyre underneath. The dimensions inside the car on paper are almost the same. The Lc300 feels slightly smaller due to other trade offs like pushing the engine and the transmission slightly to the back made the front dashboard panel wide. In return, you get better suspension articulation and riding comfort. Same with the side panels, note that the car has better nose cancellation features like double glass windows and other stuff. Overall the car is better than the LC200 in almost every aspect especially at the off-road capabilities which is the main purpose and key selling point. I have been driving the LC200 for the past 10 years and have done more than 250k kms and I have recently tested the LC300 and let me tell you.. it makes the LC200 obsolete.. the price is something that I would agree with you.. LC is always overpriced unfortunately even in the 2nd hand market
I hate polished reviews like yours. what power are you taking about? everything in this car is old comparing to competition, just because they gave you the car for free to try that doesn’t mean you have to lie to the customers
Very overpriced. Infotainment and tachometer outdated and same as cheaper models in Toyota. Many options missing from other midsize to big SUVs. So yeah it is a great car but the price is not justified.

Everything fine except price.
you can get a lower model such as the GX.R and EX.R
@@Mustansirtaher6 👍🏻
@@Mustansirtaher6 GX.R is the lowest model right
@@thanosthemadtitan5518 no no its mid trim EX.R is the lowest
@@Mustansirtaher6 cheers
A vehicle with more caveats than before. Wonder what Toyota was thinking when they were pricing it 😂
I wish the infotainment screen was bigger.
Luxurious powerful machine king of the road

@@IsmailAlansari I agree with you cause fold flat third rows seats, more fuel efficiency and more power and more torque
Can anyone recommend a large modern vehicle that fits adults in third row seats?
Ford expedition all the way 3rd seat are actual bench seats
Imo Range Rover lwb is the only SUV on sale that has 3rd row seat for adults.
Can you please review Hyundai SantaFe 2.5L Comfort Plus 2022. Thank you
Hopefully soon as soon as we get it 🙏🏻
@@YallaMotorEnglish Thank you so much. We will wait for the review video !
I really dislike how it looks from the back...

How much SR. I need red/maroon in colour
Ford territory & Everest ?
Nice explanation
Thanks and welcome

it's not the car I like and prefer, the Yukon is much better at everything size, power, price, and people's comfort for long trips
Really really nice car design and I love it💕
no heated steering wheel
This is middle east not North America or Europe
It's not sold in Europe or in North America
Just saying no heated steering wheel ha . True , not sold NA , EU
@@xujin3556 it's not that big a deal but you do get ventilated seats I think
