Abdul Latif Jameel Motors, the authorized distributor of Toyota vehicles in Saudi Arabia since 1955, celebrated global sales of the legendary Land Cruiser surpassing 10 million units sold with ‘Land Cruiser Events’. Hosted in cooperation with the Land Cruiser Club, the series of events invited members of the Club and fans of the vehicle to commemorate the milestone together, and to share their appreciation of the legendary SUV and the respected Toyota brand.

The celebration kicked off with a spectacular balloon release of helium-filled balloons bearing the esteemed Toyota logo.

Younger guests were also able to get a taste for what it would be like to drive the legendary vehicle, sitting in the driver’s seat and enjoying the in-car features.
