Now, Toyota Modellista rolled out sleeker-looking body kits for those who want to even further enhance the appearance of the new model. The design team of Modellista aims to make the Toyota Land Cruiser sport an eye-catching design on the road, while improving its drivability by integrating it with aerodynamic body kits.

Modellista is offering its 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser version with three body color options, namely the Precious White Pearl, Silver Metallic, and Attitude Black Mica. All these color options can be fitted with the Modellista body kits including a sleeker front bumper spoiler, rear bumper spoiler, and two different sets of wheels.

The Modellista front bumper spoiler is finished with black trims which complement the design of the SUV’s newly-designed grille, creating a more aerodynamic and sportier-looking front fascia. This is the same case for the Modellista rear bumper spoiler which is also finished with black trims.

As for the wheels, the Japanese automotive accessory parts company is offering two similarly designed 21-inch alloy wheels. The difference between the two is that one is designed with a cutting and gloss black finish, while the other is wrapped in matte black with the intention of it looking bolder and sportier.

“While taking the advantages of Land Cruiser’s own strength and luxury, we expect you to feel the 'Driving Pleasure' & 'Sophisticated Urban Feeling' created by us Modellista,” said Modellista on its official website.

Modellista said that the kits will be available for international markets only, which means that it excludes its homeland Japan. On the other hand, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is reported to bring the next-gen Land Cruiser in the country soon, with some dealerships accepting reservations already. That said, we hope it will tag the Modellista body kits along with it.
