Exterior Design
Padeanu's rendering retains the Land Cruiser Se's boxy silhouette and overall proportions but replaces the concept's side cameras with traditional mirrors and adds regular door handles. The artist also made subtle changes to the front and rear bumpers, giving the SUV a more production-ready appearance.
The Land Cruiser Se concept's striking front grille has been simplified, but it still retains the iconic Toyota badge and a similar shape. The headlights have also been toned down, losing some of the concept's futuristic styling. The rear end features a more conventional taillight design, and the bumper has been slightly reshaped.
Overall, Padeanu's rendering successfully translates the Land Cruiser Se concept into a production-ready SUV. The design retains the concept's bold lines and imposing presence while making it more road-ready and practical.
Interior Design
While no interior images of the Land Cruiser Se concept were released, Toyota did mention that it has a spacious cabin that can accommodate up to seven passengers. Padeanu's rendering envisions a modern and luxurious interior that befits the Land Cruiser nameplate.The rendering features a large touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, and a premium sound system. The seats are upholstered in high-quality leather, and the cabin is adorned with wood and metal accents.
Electric Powertrain
Toyota didn't provide any specific details about the Land Cruiser Se's electric powertrain, but it did mention that it delivers "high-torque driving performance." Padeanu's rendering imagines a powerful electric powertrain that provides ample power for off-roading and towing.
The rendering suggests a large battery pack mounted under the floor of the SUV, which would provide a long range and quick charging capabilities. The electric powertrain would also likely feature regenerative braking to help extend the range.
Production Potential
While Toyota has yet to confirm whether the Land Cruiser Se will make it to production, the positive reaction to the concept suggests that there is strong demand for an electric Land Cruiser. The SUV's boxy design, spacious interior, and powerful electric powertrain would make it a compelling option for buyers looking for a luxurious and capable off-roader.If Toyota does decide to produce the Land Cruiser Se, it would likely be a high-end model that competes with the likes of the Rivian R1S and the Tesla Model X. The SUV would likely be priced accordingly, but it would offer a unique blend of luxury, off-road capability, and electric performance that would appeal to a select group of buyers.
