300 Toyota Land Cruiser GXL 2022 Series Review: LC300 Shot

The GXL remains the second trim level in the new LandCruiser LC300 line, but it now costs $9217 more at $101,790 MSRP. You can choose the GX for $11,800 less, and upgrading to the VX will cost you an additional $12,200.

The GXL loses the GX snorkel but adds key details like 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rails and alloy side steps. It's also the cheapest seven-seater, with carpeted floors, a wireless phone charger, Multi-Terrain Select that specifically tailors the drivetrain to the terrain you're driving in, and includes key safety features including front and rear parking sensors, sunblinds. -Point monitoring and rear cross traffic alerts.

Like the GX, the GXL's media screen is slightly smaller at 9.0 inches, but it finally comes with CarPlay and Android Auto still connected to the network, as opposed to the wireless connectivity that's starting to appear on most newer models. The driver gets a main 4.2-inch display on the dashboard. 

Like all LC300 trims, the GXL is powered by a new 227-litre V700 twin-turbo diesel engine with 3.3kW/6Nm and an official fuel consumption figure of 8.9L/100km.
