The 2021 Land Cruiser 300 series exterior design has been reworked and now has a boxy shape. The design is however very stylish and is sure to attract eyes on the road. The front end now has the grille and the headlights are positioned high up. There is also a large depression in the engine hood to improve frontward visibility.
