Modellista is a Japanese firm focused on aftermarket modification kits for Toyota vehicles. With the new LC300-gen Toyota Land Cruiser out now, Modellista has launched a bunch of visual upgrades for those buyers who will never venture off-road.
Toyota Crown is one of the brand’s luxury sedan offerings, below the Century and vaguely alongside the Lexus range. Though the run of the Crown in the Middle East was truncated decades ago, the marque still goes strong in many markets, including Japan and China. In China, the nameplate has now grown into a sub-brand kind of entity as they slapped the Crown logo on two more vehicles — a van and an SUV.
If you felt the ancient Nissan Patrol Super Safari is unreasonably expensive, don’t fret. That’s because Toyota is waiting in the wings to up the ante. Now on sale at the UAE dealer are two “limited-edition” variants of the Land Cruiser 70 Series – The Land Cruiser 76 and Land Cruiser 79 Overlander edition. With even more ancient bones than the Nissan Y61, the LC70 wagon and pickup should give you a taste of 1980s offroad motoring at an eye-watering price.
Toyota launching their flagship SUV the Land Cruiser LC300 is relatively small-fry news compared to what they are planning for the U.S. market, which is much bigger than the Middle East.

Years and years of consistent performance, immense popularity or extreme capability. Any one of these three qualities may usually suffice for a car to be called a legend. But seldom do we find a car that flaunts all three. The Toyota Land Cruiser is such a machine that has been successful in keeping its legacy alive for decades. With its outgoing-generation LC 200 going on for donkey’s years and losing market share to the Y62-gen Nissan Patrol, the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 is long overdue. And it is here now, and boy oh boy, it is all new.
When the 2022 Subaru BRZ came around late last year, it was an answer to the persistent prayers of the petrolhead lot for a faster model, even though they chose not to strap on a turbo. Toyota hinted that the months-ago delay to reveal their sister-model was because it was going to be very different. The 2022 Toyota GR 86 has now broken cover, almost exactly the same as the BRZ except for a different bumper and an abbreviation of Toyota’s Gazoo Racing division stuck on to its name.

The Adventure version is fittingly on display at the Dubai Festival City mall right now, signifying that for the first time in the UAE, a variant of the Hilux can be bought by any expat individual rather than just by companies and nationals.
