The 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser interiors are well planned, thoughtfully laid-out, and most importantly ergonomic. They make use of the best quality materials including perforated leather upholstery, wooden inlays that run through the dashboard and central console, and soft-touch plastics throughout the cabin. The seats feel adequately comfortable and have ample cushioning and bolstering to provide maximum support and the lumbar support for front seats alongside side heating and ventilation help improve the experience.
The ride quality on the inside feels unquestioned and the tranquility of the cabin is noteworthy. However, the 2015 Land Cruiser’s problems are more than one in number. While the third row of seats does allow a total seating capacity of eight passengers, it feels cramped and restricts movement. It also cuts into the cargo space on offer and with all seats in an upright position, there is a total of 16.1 cubic feet of space available for storage.

The similarities between the Toyota and Lexus also extend to their interior space. The only difference between the two is increased shoulder for middle seat passengers and a higher maximum cargo capacity of 83.3 cubic feet in the 2015 LX 570. On the other hand, the Land Rover feels disadvantaged in this aspect as it can seat five passengers only and has a lower trunk volume of 71.7 cubic feet. However, its build quality is supreme and even legroom is better for the second-row occupants.
Some of the salient interior features of the 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser include:

How intuitive is the infotainment system of the 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser?
Perhaps among its strengths, the less intuitive and rather outdated infotainment system of the 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser does cause a bearing on its likability. While it does have access to a large number of features including an 8-inch touchscreen that gets connected to the rearview camera and available navigation system, the system feels a tad bit unresponsive. However, the Entune smartphone integration app is a blessing in disguise and does help ease usability. As standard, it comes equipped with a 14-speaker JBL sound system that delivers blistering performance.
Some of its other infotainment features include:
- HD Radio
- SiriusXM Satellite Radio
- Voice Recognition
- Bluetooth Connectivity
- Rear seat entertainment
