The first thing about 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser...
is the big screen of course!
Before the screnn there is another thing!
What is it ?
We must remind our dear followers with the mechanical specifications
of Toyota Land Cruiser
As Arab GT we're obliged to provide you with the horsepower, acceleration, etc..
Check the specifications of Toyota Land Cruiser GXR V8
It will be shown to you in the following table
Then, you will hear amazing things about Toyota Land Cruiser,
From me and Suhaib!
A reminder for you Suhaib and you guys!
This 10.1 inch screen is from Japan and is not fitted by the local dealer
This is a 2018 model Until this day it's not available for buyers
Toyota started with Land cruiser to use a new operating system for the screen
It became faster, larger, and clearer
With a lot of applications as you will see in a minute
and in the same time, this screen and its system will be used in Lexus cars
And which of Toyota cars will use the same screen?
the same technology not the same screen
The next Toyota Prado
God willing!
This technology will be used in all Toyota cars in the future
and let's not forget the rear screens
as you said they are genuine OEM screens from Japan
Let's talk about some of the technological features in this car
If you buy the 2018 Model GCC specifications
You must install 2 applications
You will see them now!
About the first application…
- What is it called? - My Drive Plus
When you install it on your device...
First of all, the car must be connected to the internet
You can do this in 2 ways
- The device is in the rear - You've prepared everything!
You can bring this small router and connect it to the internet
You can unplug it from the charger
When you connect this small router to the internet
you connect all the devices in the car to the internet
- Or you can use your phone - As a mobile hotspot
That creates a WiFi network for the car
So the car can connect through your phone
and there is the 2-SIM card feature that you can get from any provider
It creates a permanent internet connection No problem!
The idea is to connect the car to the internet so it can connect to Google
and enjoy the available features
So Toyota says you can do this via a router or a mobile hotspot
Let's go! My Drive Plus first!
Unlock you phone! This is Kareem's Phone
you have all of the car's applications on your phone!
This is a security feature provided by Toyota
That only you!
Don't worry about being hacked
There is no third party, as they say
The first party is the car The second party is you and your phone
Complete privacy! No one can track the car but you
- Yes, I mean track the car - So, don't worry
because no one can get any information about the car but you!
Through these applications
that are available for you only and installed on your phone
We all know about the navigation system in the screen
Using the application, now we will explain in detail what happens
There is a new feature in this screen;
the new maps are connected to Google system
Google navigation system... one of its smart features
is that it shows traffic congestion on this screen
For example, I want to go to the Mall Of The Emirates
So when it shows the coordinates
It will show traffic congestion in red if it's strong
Or in orange if it's mild
And if the roads are clear it will be green
So you can know all these stuff to make things easier for you
Let me add something It does not only show traffic congestions
Through these systems in the screen, you can choose from the Settings menu
an option to show alternative routes
Faster routes, shorter, the best route
You can choose to show routes that can save 5 minutes
or 3 minutes – minimum –
- From 3 minutes to a maximum of... - 60 minutes
You can choose
You can chose , so it shows the options on the screen
This thing can save time and effort
and you can turn this feature off
You can choose to show the main route only
without any alternatives
You can turn it on and off thorough the Settings menu
Another feature of My Drive Plus; For example, Kareem is at home
This is a good one, pay attention!
he is at home doing some research on his phone and he finds a new place he likes
he says I must visit this nice place
So, through the application He can send this place to the car
I will show you now! For example…
what do you want ?
You've chosen Sahara Centre , it's in Sharjah
- Sahara Centre - As we're close to Sharjah
Sahara Centre for example ! We want this place
and here is its rating in the application
- For example I press here, on the green button - Is it blue or green?!
The blue button!
Choose the car I named it Kareem Cruiser 2018
You can add more than one car, as an owner
BTW, the car is connected to Google. So, let's say you searched for Dubai Mall
on the screen and the phone you will get information about Dubai Mall
- Its rating, user reviews… - Even pictures of it
Now it's on the screen
The place that Kareem chose, Sahara Centre
- It's showed here - A notification is showed here in red
It says a location has been sent to the car, you press on it
And it will be showed here
This is Sahara Centre
You press here, and ask to go to the location
It shows you the route to it
Another example,
Kareem's family members are on the car and his father is driving
His father calls him and asks about a certain restaurant he wants to visit
So Kareem can use his phone, enter the restaurant's name
and send it to the car
So his father receives the message press on the notification
and gets directions to this place
Easy and simple!
You don't need to use the navigation system while you're driving
to search for a place you want
This way everything becomes easier
- All of this is on My Drive Plus - Yes, My Drive Plus!
Now we will talk about the other application
-The great one! - The great one!
The one which provides a lot of information It's called My Drive
As Kareem said, you can add more than one car
- It asks for my fingerprint - Kareem has added a security feature
it requires his fingerprint
The application can be opened by a password but I chose the fingerprint method
So that no one can use it even if the phone was stolen, for example
They can't use this application without my fingerprint
Your fingerprint please!
- I'm afraid you cut my finger off and take it with you - Don't worry! God forbid!
Now Kareem has activated the application
Whether I'm in the car or in any other place
The important thing is to have an internet connection for the application
This application provides all the information I want about the car status
For example, the main page of the application
It shows the name of Kareem's car (Land Cruiser)
It shows the temperature outside
- What is the temperature? - It's 43 now
The temperature inside the car is 29 It's really accurate!
The temperature inside the car is 29
I can lock and unlock the car's doors
And I can turn the hazard lights on
while I'm away, I don't need to be close to the car
For example , If you're travelling and you have your car's keys
and there are some important papers in your car
Let's say you're in KSA and your car is in UAE or vice versa
or anywhere else! Even in USA, Ok?
Someone calls you and says he wants some paper from your car
but you have the keys with you
No problem
I can unlock the car from distant location
Tell him to go to the car and stand by it, then unlock it for him and lock it back
Without any help from him
And you can also... start the car and turn it off
from anywhere as Kareem said
In KSA, UAE, USA wherever you are No problem!
You can start it and turn it off
The last piece of information on the main page of the application
is the car's current speed
The speed now is 72km/h
The battery voltage is 13.3
And it shows how many liters of gas are in the car
So when you're away anywhere in the world you can get all the basic information about your car
Not only you can start the car from anywhere
Now, we all know the alarm in our phones, right?
You set the alarm for every Monday at 10:00 PM because you have to take a pill, for example
So the alarm will ring every Monday at 10:00 PM, right!
But Kareem, what does this have to do with the car?
I can set a schedule for my Land Cruiser
using the application
Show them Suhaib!
- Here is the application - I use it to set a schedule for my car
For example, I'm travelling outside and I want the car to start once a week
to avoid low battery voltage to activate the car, or move the oils in the car
You know it's important to start the car if you leave it parked for a month
So I set it in my phone that every Friday at 8:00 AM
The car starts
I determine for how long it stays on; for how many minutes
You can keep it on for a whole hour, after one hour it turns off
Automatically, while the car is still locked
and in case... Check this security feature
If you start the car while you're away and someone tries to take advantage and steal the car
by breaking the glass to open the door
The minute the door is opened, the car turns off
- Instantly -It's turned off instantly
And the gear is put on Parking The car can not be stolen
And when you start the car, the air-conditioning is turned on
with the temperature you want
This is an important feature
The car will start with the latest settings before you turned it off
If you turned the car off while the AC was at 4 fans
When it starts the AC will work at 4 fans
It does not need this! I feel cold already!
These are the information; you set the whole schedule and everything for the car
and you determine the duration you want the car to stay on
Go through the application step by step !
One of the prominent things in my opinion is that you can activate a certain system
In case you parked near the office
Or let's say Kareem is visiting my other office
but he didn't find a covered parking place so, he had to park under the sun
This is a good one!
Especially in this hot weather now
For example he can activate this system which controls the car
when the temperature outside exceeds 45 or 50 for example
Automatically, the car starts and the AC is turned on
So he can make sure that when the temperature is more than 50
The car starts automatically
and when Kareem goes back to the car, he doesn't suffer the hot weather inside
and he doesn't need to wait for it to cool down
Let me tell you what happened the other day
I was asleep at 02:00 AM I swear!
I had set the application to start if the temperature is more than 40
- It was 2:00 AM yesterday! - It sent you a notification?
Suddenly the car started because the temperature was more than 40
I said if it's 02:00 AM and the temperature is over 40
How are we going shoot the video in the morning!
I changed it to 50!
These things make it easy for you and provide you with all the information you need
And it is very secured, the security system of the application is strong
You're the only one who has access to this information in the application
No one else, from the dealership, or wherever has access to this information
and know your speed, location, or your daily movement
These things are not available at all
My location; The exact location of the car
Where it is located and where your phone is on the planet
A map opens
And you can keep zooming out to know where your are exactly and where your car is
With the exact coordinates
This is for the people who forget where they park in Dubai Mall
The parking lot in Dubai is huge
If you forget where you park the application can find the exact location of your car
There is also My History feature
It provides you with the records of the application - Let me see it !
And the number of car starts - Don't show it to them !
Don't worry I will not tell
It's OK, I'm just kidding!
The History feature keeps track of Kareem's remote starts
and his different locations
All of this information is here
Everything the car does The car started today at 10:00 AM, for example
I went to the supermarket It shows the time it started
And the distance
- The distance travelled - The speed
And tracks all of your travelling during the day
There is also My Statistics which shows your score
an evaluation
it provides various information about Kareem's driving
The first day, the second, the third the fourth
and the distance travelled
You can see it detailed day by day or in general for all days
the distance travelled
the driving hours
- And it even shows… - This is the best thing
How many times Kareem hit full brakes How many times Kareem exceeded 120km/h
In this day, zero time! You didn't exceed 120km/h all day
Strange!
40 times strong braking
And how many times you had strong acceleration; full throttle
47 times you accelerated heavily
Like this?
This counts for 1
And if you hit the brakes hard it also counts
- So you better… - Listen!
- This information is good - Let me be honest!
In the application, if you check the days , you'll see a different thing for every day
I had the car for 4 days now Every day I did something different
So that it shows in the application and you get to see it
I deliberately go faster than 120km/h I deliberately hit the brakes hard
The fun part now... You may ask how I can use this thing
I talk to you fathers
- When your sons drive with you - They drive in a respectable manner
The best drivers in the world
With turning signals , no hard braking, no speeding
OK! Fine! Don't worry!
But when you get out of the car and he drives aggressively
- You can know this using the application - It's all recorded
Everything!
Wait a minute! Forget about the speed limit
In the first place, there is a feature Open it Suhaib!
The alerts
Just a minute… Still loading
The internet connection is weak here
If the internet speed was good you would have no problem
The application depends on internet speed The car has nothing to do with it
Now, using this feature in the application
Let's say you have a chauffeur that takes the kids to school, for example
and he drives back to your office at work
He doesn't leave a certain zone He 's supposed to stay in this zone
So you can draw the zone you want on the map from Google
Right!
When the car gets out of this zone you get an alert to your phone
Telling you that the car got out of the zone you drew
This would be useful If your Land Cruiser is driven by a chauffeur that takes your kids to school
or chauffeurs your family
For example the chauffeur today will take your family from your house to the mall
and you know the location of the mall
So you draw a circle on Google map From your house to the mall
If the driver leaves this zone A notification will be sent to your phone
Just like WhatsApp notifications
Even when he speeds; If he exceeds the speed you set
- He shouldn't exceed 100km/h - You can set the limit at 80 km/h,
to get a notification if he exceeds this speed
Why don't we try this!
OK, but let's finish the rest of the features and then we can try it
Let me say something!
For the people who care a lot about their cars
This is the first one in Alerts menu! This one!
Can you see it?
Go to Alerts… The first one
- Punch Alert -This is really good!
Let's say you parked your car in a mall or any other place
- By your house! - By your house!
You don't want anyone to get near your car
You can activate this system
If anyone hits the car...
And you can determine the strength of the impact
- Even if he just leans on it - The sensitivity of the hit
From low …
to a very strong accident, God forbid !
So if you knew the car was mildly hit or that someone leaned on the car
You could use the application to turn the hazard lights on
So that the guy who leaned on the car would know that you're watching
- It just needs a camera! - This is the only thing it needs!
Or maybe a speaker, and you say to him " Stay away from the car"
This is too much!
We should suggest this to Toyota! What do you think?!
- When you're away in USA... - This is disturbance!
- Some people will misuse it! - They would park their cars and turn it to a game!
Now we will test the features for the guys
I will set it to….
- Are you looking for Alerts? - Yes!
I want to set the Overspeed...
- At 100, I'll be notified - Set it to 80!
- 100 is good! - OK!
- Complete! - OK?!
Good!
Complete, ready!
Now if you exceed the speed of 100 km/h
You will get a notification
The phone screen is locked
Don't you set it to 200!
60! Go Kareem!
It feels stronger than the one we test-drove before!
OK, I've exceeded 100 km/h!
Supposedly, we will get a notification!
- Enough! - I reached 120 km/h
Don't speed!
- It should be sent in a certain period of time! - Here it is!
- What does it say?
"Vehicle has exceeded your speed limit of 100 km/h"
The notification can't be delivered at the same second
But it was delivered! In how much time ?
3, 4, 5 seconds?!
- It's admissible! - Let's say 10 seconds!
You got the notification that the car's exceeded the speed limit, set by you
It's fast and simple, without any complications
- Let's try something else - Sure!
Let's test the zone feature
- Zone Alerts? - Yes!
- We must have the map - Yes! Open the map
- Here it is! - Let me stop !
Limit the zone to 1 km
We've put the car here … Just a minute!
Now let's draw the zone
- Just like this! - OK!
There is a crossroad ahead
Save!
Complete!
Let's get out of the Zone And lock the phone
We've set a zone that we shouldn't leave
I hope we've set it right!
Supposedly, when we leave the zone, the car will communicate with the phone!
Your car is outside of specified control zone"
Everything is 100% under control!
I believe this is a great plus!
These applications and systems are optional features and not standard
Optional features for 2018 Models of Toyota Land Cruiser
I have a GXR not VXR not the full-option version
As I have a GXR, you can see there's no radar or other extras
- But it has a screen - These things are available
- I can download the application - These are optional features for 2018 models
- With GCC specs - GCC specs
This is the most important thing!
Another feature in the car…
When you connect your phone to the car
All the data in your phone; the saved numbers, the contacts
All this information will be transferred to the car
You can also make voice commands
Tell the car to call Suhaib Shashaa
- Can we test this? - Yes, I'm pressing on menu button!
A long press!
Suhaib Shashaa
It's calling me!
But my number is there
No, I don't want to call you!
You can also... besides calling Suhaib
For example you can give it a number
- Long press! - Listen how it's done!
Zero... Five... Zero
It took it!
She asked me to complete the number
If he pronounced the whole number...
You don't need to get distracted while driving
All you have to do is to say the number you want
And make the call!
I swear, these are minor things!
But the application...
which tracks the car, it's speed with the alerts and zone feature
Frankly speaking,
Toyota land Cruiser is considered a family car that many people buy as a chauffeured family car
So these features are important; to monitor the speed, the zone
Zone control is an excellent feature
A lot of people complain about fuel consumption in chauffeured cars
because their chauffeurs cruise around the town
You can monitor how he drives; if he hits the throttle aggressively
You can check how many liters of gas are there in the car
The application is really great!
Toyota surprised me with this application
And it was already activated
Indeed, this is a great thing
Waiting to see these applications available in Lexus cars
- God willing - And Prado cars too
You may ask why Land Cruiser was the first to get this application?
In GCC, Frankly speaking
Land Cruiser is very popular here so it deserves to be the first to get the application
BTW, I haven't finished exploring the new features of 2018 Land Cruiser
There is a couple of new features
- Do you want to explore them? - Of course!
But we might need to drive on sand!
Are you meditating or something?! Kareem is obsessed with the desert
I think you're about to cry!
I'm looking at the temperature and the desert
It's 45, but we're going to the desert!
We're going to the desert
But let's see what's new in 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser
As a very suitable car...
For driving in the desert
Let's go!
Ok, Suhaib! Can you please bring the cables bag from the rear?
Ok! Ahmed, Come closer! I need you here!
What's new in the 2018 Land Cruiser?
We have a built-in compressor now
This is an original compressor
Thank you Suhaib
And here is the hose! Or what do you call it guys?
The linkage used to inflate or deflate the tires
Put it in the plug here
Look here, we have 2 of them
This is for the front tire... and this is for the one in the rear
Can you see?
I connect this to the compressor
Like this
- Ok? - 100%
Let me get over there!
Then I connect the hose to the tire
Then I press the power button
Come closer!
I turn it on
OK, It's on now! Now I choose the pressure
They've put main PSIs; 15 PSI or 33 PSI
15 is for deflating the tires
Reasonably!
Reasonable deflating at 15 PSI
33 PSI is the ordinary pressure
So now I select 15 PSI, and I press Start
The process should be quick, 2 tires at the same time
The car deflates 2 tires together
Deflating the tires should take 1 minute
Inflating them takes 2 minutes
Ok, now to the other side
Stop!
Now the other side
It should be long enough
- Give it to me Kareem - Take it to the other one
This is an original compressor from Japan
Ready ?
Let's go, In the name of Allah!
It's done! 15 PSI
After we deflated the tires, we'll take you for a quick ride
- OK! Let's go Suhaib? - Let's go!
Before sunset! We'll take you for a quick ride
Testing a Land Cruiser without some sand driving ...
is not acceptable!
Despite the hot weather!
I will not use Low gears I will use H4 instead
Traction disengaged
That's it!
Power Mode, Manual...
First Gear...
In the name of Allah
We'll go easy!
Go Cruiser Go!
What a monster!
One of the off-road features
You can use the new navigation system
To record a certain off-road route you've taken
For example, when you hit the Record button; the car records the route you take
Let's say, your friend has a farm in the desert and you have to drive off-road for 10 km
In order to avoid getting lost and follow the same route you're familiar with
you can hit the Record button, drive the car this distance
and when you reach the farm press Stop button
the car will save the route you've taken
So, every time you want to take this route in or out
you display it on the screen to make things easier for you!
You don't drive a single meter with deflated tires on the asphalt
You keep the tires in good condition
We'll stop now and inflate the tires And that's it!
and continue our journey...
You're supposed to tell me about the rear seats and the screens!
Let's do it!
Kareem, about the rear seats... You've already started using the screen
Are you going to watch a movie or what?
I'm trying!
The car has two screens for the rear seats 11.45 inch each
Touch screens
As we said these are OEMs from japan and not after market equipment
About the features of these screens; you can connect a USB to them
there is an AUX input
and HDMI
Then we can connect PlayStaion
you can connect 2 PlayStations to both screens
you can operate the 3 screens the driver can control the 3 screens together
and you can control each of them separately
The front screen does not play movies unless you're parked
Sure, for safety reasons!
There are wireless headsets for the rear passengers
Can you see what I'm watching? ArabGT channel on YouTube!
Thank you!
I connected it to my phone after I turned my phone to a hotspot
- To the screen - Just as we did in the front screen
I connected to the internet via the hotspot
So now I can go to any website ArabGT for example!
Even on this screen There is "Front" option
This means I can display on the rear screen any source available to the front screen
I have connected a USB to the front screen
If I like what's on the front USB
Here it is Play!
It plays and I can listen through the headsets
These are wireless headsets
You can use them easily!
A nice feature in the screens; their settings are available in 2 languages
Arabic and English
The settings are also easy to use
regarding Brightness Control
I can change it to Arabic... or English!
Every screen has its own name
Mine is RSE- B what is yours?
Mine is RSE-A
For example if you have little kids You can rename the screens to their names
This is mine and that is yours
little kids, Suhaib and Kareem!
To go back you only need to press the power button
this is the Back button
Whatever you do, you can use it to go back!
Opening browser
but we want to go back
The browser opened but I must connect to WiFi
Mine is connected to Hotspot
I went back easily
Land Cruiser is considered a family car since the day it was revealed
