Land Cruiser J70, the OG long-living SUV king, Australians\u2019 favorite, and probably Toyota\u2019s toughest rugged proper 4×4 SUV, has just one purpose: to do off-roading. Unlike modern SUVs that put hybrid motors and tiny engines under the monocoque chassis, this J70 is what you call an SUV.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, we have the Land Rover Defender. Both are ironically different and have different stereotype cults, but both are known as SUV off-roaders and compete under the same price tag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Defender is more towards the luxury side than an off-roader and probably not the first choice of Australians; it is a car made for Europeans and British.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just do 1-1 of both cars and see which did the best:<\/span><\/p>\n

Toyota Land Cruiser J70<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Toyota<\/p>\n

Land Cruiser J70, Toyota\u2019s iconic and extraordinarily popular off-roader SUV, although not very modern, uses the same design as we used to see in the 1970 J70, but that\u2019s how it\u2019s designed. If you compare it with today\u2019s modern car, it doesn\u2019t stack with them in any way, but still, people are willing to pay 169,000 AED for this SUV.<\/span><\/p>\n

You see, it\u2019s a simple 4.8-liter diesel turbo-engine SUV\u2014nothing fancy. It uses a ladder frame and leaf spring suspensions, and of course, it has a Toyota badge on it, which is its main selling point.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mostly, in UAE, it\u2019s bought by commercial consumers like Desert Safari agencies, construction, and work truck companies, or any other consumers who need a rugged car for deserts and off-roading. They don\u2019t need any fancy items, just a vehicle that lasts an eternity and can face extreme conditions, and that\u2019s why the J70 is still surviving in UAE; even buyers who want this car are willing to pay 169,000 AED.<\/span><\/p>\n

Land Rover Defender<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"2024<\/p>\n

Defender<\/a> that\u2019s the most British SUV you\u2019ll ever see. They call it an off-roader, but we think it\u2019s a European off-roader and might not work well for UAE\u2019s extreme deserts. It\u2019s more like a luxury family SUV with some thrills of off-roading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike the J70, which is simple and super rugged, the Defender is the complete opposite. You name every hi-tech luxury feature, and Defender has it! Unlike J70, it also got super smooth drive quality and due to its SUV body, you can fit a full-size family in it and do long tours without a fuss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a 3-liter V6 engine that is more efficient than Toyota\u2019s 4.8-liter V8 because it outputs 264 HP, while Toyota\u2019s V8 only outputs 89 HP. This is mainly because Toyota is a low-stress engine, and so it lasts an eternity (800,000 km, no fuss).<\/span><\/p>\n
