SUV, Mid-Size, Premium
2011 Toyota Land Cruiser
|
Even with spirited competition from Lexus and Land Rover, the Toyota Land Cruiser wins Vincentric’s Best Value in America Award for the fourth year in a row. The Land Rover retains its value longer, costs less to insure, and costs the least to repair and maintain – all factors which illustrate why this mid-size SUV jumps to the head of its premium class.
