A seven-seat 4WD SUV offered as the efficient LS-U 1.9L and the more powerful, technology-rich LS-T 3.0L.
Both have seven seats, 4WD shift-on-the-fly, a rear differential lock, high-ride suspension, an 80-litre tank and an 800mm wading depth. The key differences are power, towing, infotainment and driver assistance.
The lower-capacity choice for drivers prioritising efficiency while retaining full 4WD capability and seven-seat practicality.
The flagship adds 450Nm, stronger towing and the official brochure’s full advanced driver-assistance package.
The LS-T specification matrix includes Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Pedal Misapplication Mitigation.
Both models use a 4WD selector, rear differential lock, high-ride suspension and reinforced underbody protection. Rough Terrain Mode, Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control help manage low-grip and steep conditions.
