Magic of weight reduction and high rigidity
The Toyota Land Cruiser, which has been a full model change for the first time in 14 years, from the "200 Series" to the "300 Series", has renewed the platform to raise the level of running.
Toyota's new generation platform aims to create a better car is collectively referred to as TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture).The GA-F platform used in the new Land Cruiser also inherits the concept of TNGA to improve product power and reduce costs.
The Land Cruiser tradition is the same as the predecessor, but the GA-F platform has a high rigidity of 20 % compared to the old platform, and while increasing the collision safety performance, it is about 200 kg as a vehicle.It has been lighter.In other words, increasing rigidity means that it is difficult to deform.It can be described as strong to make it difficult to deform.Nevertheless, it was lighter.
