Toyota FJ Cruiser will return you confidence in the possibility of everything, he himself is the "spirit of adventure", and he just takes you to the goal, whether it be the beach or rocky mountain roads. A typical example of such a car is the new Toyota FJ Cruiser 2012, recently introduced at Al-Futtaim Motors' Toyota brand stores in Dubai and already calling for an adventure.
Initially, in 2003, it was the return to massive forms that became the "fashion chip" for Toyota designers who were developing the concept of the new Toyota FJ Cruiser. It was designed as a convenient and affordable SUV, which will be of interest primarily to young people. It should be noted that the developers of Toyota have invested a lot of work in the design of the new crossover: they even developed a new design for the tires of an SUV, additional spotlights on the exterior mirror housings and other "little things." The style of the SUV was defined as “techno” combined with retro motifs. The first Toyota FJ Cruiser, which became the sixth crossover in the Toyota collection, was shown at the 2006 Chicago Motor Show. This car has accumulated all the best achievements of SUVs like the 4Runner and FJ 40. Despite the fact that the Toyota FJ Cruiser has inherited the features of the FJ model in the exterior design, it has an original narrow grille and round headlights. Six years have passed since then! The turn of more modern versions of FJ has come.
The automaker showed off the 2012 FJ Cruiser model of the Trail Teams. The new Toyota FJ Cruiser 2012 received from designers a shade of Radian Red (saturated red) with some black elements: a roof, bumpers, a radiator grille and door handles. On sale, however, you can find a variety of color variations.
This "bison" can dive into any puddle, and you will leave it dry: the interior is made waterproof, the floor is covered with a rubber film. Attractive steering wheel that is comfortable and pleasant to hold. There are cup holders in front and behind, although they are somewhat more convenient at the rear.
Also, the car is equipped with good air conditioning. Very nice and practical speedometer. Comfortable front seats. The rear seats are slightly less comfortable. Back and sit a little problematic, as this is only possible with the front door open. There is not much space for legs.
About the design of the Toyota FJ Cruiser 2012 also has something to say. The night lights of the FJ Cruiser 2012 have been improved, so now you can not be afraid even of a trip in the most total darkness. Another feature of SUVs from the past is the powerful BFG All-Terrain tires. The new model is equipped as standard with all the equipment required by a modern car: from cruise control, an information display, a multimedia system and keyless remote access to power outlets and a reversing camera integrated in the rear view mirror. For off-road driving, the Toyota FJ Cruiser is equipped with a front bumper with a winch and fog light. Rearview mirrors are equipped with built-in lights. Safe operation is ensured by Airbag airbags, ABS anti-lock brakes, ESP, VDC, DSC and Stability Assist Brake Assist, AFU. In addition, the SUV is equipped with the A-TRAC complex (traction control); Strong engine protection plates are placed on the engine, fuel compartment and transfer case.
Under the hood is a standard 4.0-liter V6 engine equipped with an optional air filter. Engine power is 260 hp. The price of the new Toyota FJ Cruiser starts at $ 25,990. In the salons, customers can be offered both the 4x4 version with a 5-speed automatic transmission, and the all-wheel drive 4x4 V6 with a 6-speed manual transmission.
When the first FJ Cruiser appeared on city roads, from unaware people you could sometimes hear: "Oooh, he looks so much like Hammer." No, really! Allow me. This "Hammer" is similar to FJ, and who does not believe - refer to the story. And, as one of the fans of Toyota FJ Cruiser said: “This is a car for real fans! FJ owners even greet each other on the track. This is not a car, but a state of mind, such a mischievous youth ...”.
