The LC300 is a completely new build so it doesn’t make sense. My hunch is the diesel and the 4.0 will be in 75%+ of LC which will allow it to maintain its most reliable vehicle in the world reputation.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it but if the 2.4 turbo is better than the 4.0 then why put an ancient engine in their redesigned flagship SUV?
I think the 4.0 has two big advantages - it's more reliable in the harshest conditions. And it's very cheap to manufacture, maintain, and repair. Many fewer parts. And there's a lot of parts availability globally. I don't think it's inherently better or worse, but probably just better for the specific markets.
