Luggage is stated in cases rather than litres, because that is the figure that decides whether a party fits. If you are near the limit, tell us the number of bags rather than the number of people.
Why people choose it
The 300 is the current-generation Land Cruiser and the most capable and most comfortable vehicle we list: 305 to 415 hp depending on variant, 650–700 Nm, seven seats and up to 312 mm of ground clearance. It does a five-hour motorway leg and a mountain highway with equal composure, which is exactly what a principal's car is asked to do. Choose it when you want the newest VIP vehicle rather than the most common one.
What to know before you book it
Questions about this vehicle
How many seats does the Land Cruiser 300 have?
Seven. That is seats, though, not comfort for seven adults with a week's luggage: with all three rows in use you are down to cabin bags only. For a group of seven with hold luggage the honest answer is two vehicles, and we will say so at the enquiry rather than after you have paid.
How much luggage fits in a Land Cruiser 300?
Five to six large cases with the third row folded, which is the most of anything we list. Put all seven seats up and it drops to cabin bags only, because the space behind the third row is small. Tell us the actual number of cases when you enquire and we will confirm the configuration that works.
Is the Land Cruiser 300 four-wheel drive?
Yes, four-wheel drive, with ground clearance from 225 mm up to 312 mm depending on the variant. That upper figure is a serious off-road specification. Because clearance varies that much across the range, we confirm which variant you are getting in writing with the quote instead of letting you assume the highest number.
Is it suitable for Skardu, Hunza and the northern routes?
It is among the most capable vehicles for those routes: four-wheel drive, high clearance and the strength for long broken sections. The trade is fuel, so plan that spend before you commit. Route, timing and exactly what the quote covers are all confirmed with you in writing beforehand, so nothing is decided on the roadside.
What fuel consumption should I expect?
Between 5 and 10 kilometres per litre for the 3.5 petrol ZX, which is the worst consumption of anything we list. On a long northern trip the fuel bill is a real part of your budget, not a rounding error. We publish that figure because most listings in Pakistan quietly do not.
Land Cruiser 300 or Land Cruiser 200?
The 300 is the current generation: seven seats, four-wheel drive, 225 to 312 mm of clearance depending on variant, and a modern cabin. The 200 is the previous full-size V8 car. Both are large body-on-frame four-wheel drives and both are thirsty, but the 300's figures are the ones we have been able to verify.
Is the Land Cruiser 300 a good airport car?
Yes. On airport journeys we meet and greet at arrivals, so you are met inside the terminal, and you have the driver's photo and the vehicle registration before you travel. Five passengers with full-size cases is comfortable. Seven passengers with hold luggage is not, so tell us your bag count and we will plan it properly.
What does "Land Cruiser 300 or similar" mean?
The class is fixed rather than one registration. You are booked into a current full-size seven-seat four-wheel drive. If the specific car changes we tell you before travel and the price you were quoted does not move. If a variant detail matters to you, such as clearance or seat count, raise it and we write it into the quote.
Is fuel included, and what does a hire day cover?
We have not published a standing rule for either, and inventing one would not help you. Fuel, tolls, parking, driver arrangements and the hours covered are set out in writing with the quote for your route before you pay. Given this car's consumption, read the fuel line carefully before you agree.
iDrive publishes a vehicle CLASS, and supplies this model or a similar approved vehicle in the same class. That is how the whole trade works here; we would rather say so than imply a specific registration is reserved for you.
