2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition base models on sale in UAE *updated*
Toyota’s UAE dealer has quietly launched a “limited edition” Land Cruiser called the Heritage Edition. But it’s quite different from the real factory-built Heritage Edition offered in the United States.
Essentially modified locally with just stick-on parts, the UAE-spec Heritage Edition just adds the body decals and a fake-wood gear knob to the lowest-trim version of the Land Cruiser that comes with stark feature-free plasticky interiors, cloth upholstery and no rear a/c. Other features (or lack thereof) are unclear due to the lack of information. It comes with either a 4.0-litre V6 mated to a manual gearbox, or a 4.6-litre V8 mated to an automatic.
They are supposedly “limited” to a handful of cars, although it wouldn’t be too hard to “build” your own version with a visit to a Sharjah sticker-printing shop (when they open again after the COVID-19 lockdown finally ends).
The V6 one apparently costs a whopping Dhs 170,000, while the V8 rings in at Dhs 225,000, as per Motoring Middle East.
Update: We have received more information on the specs for the Heritage Edition. The total number of units is 20 for the V6 and 80 for the V8, for a total of 100. The V6 manual only comes with rear “barn” doors with spare wheel, 17-inch steel wheels and the aforementioned “wooden” gear knob, while the V8 gets a 10-inch navigation display with Bluetooth, “Heritage Edition” embossed on the headrests, crawl control, air compressor, black roof rails, chrome grille, fog lamps, 17-inch alloys and orange front indicators. Both cars come in various colours, including white, black and silver.

This shows how to sell your old unsold inventory.

Looks so tacky, How to reduced the inventory, Well here it is. Surprising people fall for anything even if they are razor blunt in design and looks. Have a look at the US specs of Heritage Version. And you will take a second opinion on the ones planned to be sold here. Good luck on the New buyers.

LOL This Car Is The Worst Car Made In 2020

Great to get this car in a simpler version, in particular without the Gulf sideboards. The negative comments are from people who do not desert drive and never drove one. This is by far the most balanced and enjoyable desert driver, while remaining a great cruiser for family trips to Oman or daily commute in town.
