Toyota has boosted the appeal of its "go anywhere, do anything" FJ Cruiser
4x4 by more than doubling its fuel range and adding an off-road cruise control system known as CRAWL.
The Toyota FJ Cruiser's fuel-tank capacity has been expanded to 159 litres with the 72-litre main tank now
supplemented by an 87-litre sub-tank. As a result, the theoretical driving range increases to 1,060 kms in the city and
more than 1,700 kms on the highway. The 'combined-cycle' fuel economy of 11.4 litres/100km delivers a notional range of
almost 1,400 kms.
Off-road driving competence is enhanced with CRAWL - a "feet-off" control system that helps take the vehicle over
severe or slippery terrain. It can assist in climbing or descending steep hills, freeing the vehicle if it is stuck, and
is also helpful in mud, sand and gravel, and when fording water. CRAWL control engages in L4 (low-range) and temporarily
disengages at speeds above 25 km/h, or above 10 km/h when the rear differential is locked. A speed-selector dial on the
overhead console provides the choice of five speeds. The system automatically maintains a low uniform vehicle speed
uphill and downhill by controlling both engine output and brake hydraulic pressure, allowing the driver to concentrate
fully on steering the vehicle. It increases vehicle stability in extreme four-wheel driving conditions, by minimising
wheel spin and tyre lock-up. The system has the added benefit of reducing potential damage to the vehicle, by smoothly
controlling vehicle speed over rugged terrain. It reduces load on the drivetrain by smoothly controlling engine output
and brake application. CRAWL can be engaged under these conditions: transfer gear position in L4, shift lever in any
position except P or N, vehicle stopped, foot brake on, parking brake off, doors closed, second-gear start system
switched off, CRAWL Control switch on and the VSC system in Normal mode.
FJ Cruiser is Toyota's fifth SUV and most recent additional nameplate added to the Toyota 4x4 range.
It is powered by a 200kW, 380Nm 4.0-litre V6 petrol engine with five-speed automatic transmission, part-time 4x4, an
electrically activated rear differential lock and switchable Active Traction Control technology to maximise off-road
climbing ability.

It features impressive road clearance - a 36-degree approach angle, 31-degree departure angle and 29-degree break-over
angle. The latter two dimensions are the best for any vehicle in Toyota's local 4WD range.
FJ Cruiser is a modern interpretation of a Toyota classic, paying homage to several of the most compelling stylistic
themes of the LandCruiser FJ40 of which more than 1.1 million were produced between 1960 and 1984.
The modern FJ inherits the 'DNA' of the original, which was renowned as a rugged, dependable vehicle that could travel
to, and return from, any extreme environment.
Its FJ-inspired features include angular lines, round headlights set either side of a wide, mesh grille, an upright
windscreen with three wiper blades, a white roof and wrap-around rear corner windows.
Offered in a single grade with a high level of specification, the upgraded Toyota FJ Cruiser is priced from $47,990*.
Metallic paint is $475* extra.
FJ Cruiser is covered by Toyota Service Advantage capped-price servicing at a maximum of $210 per service**.
