PRETORIA – SVI Engineering, renowned for its expertise in producing armoured products, has announced the launch of an advanced Level B4 concealed armour package designed specifically for the Toyota Land Cruiser 300. This innovative solution represents a significant leap forward in discreet security and anti-hijack protection.
Developed with meticulous attention to detail and drawing on SVI’s wealth of experience in creating bullet-resistant solutions for a wide range of vehicles, the Level B4 concealed package takes safety to a whole new level. The comprehensive protection offered by SVI’s concealed armour package is designed to ensure peace of mind for drivers and passengers.
Enhanced Armoured Ballistic Protection
One of the standout features of this advanced Level B4 package is its superior protection against handguns, capable of withstanding up to .44 Magnum rounds. SVI’s engineers have gone the extra mile by extending the armour package to include overlaps around all door closures, the windscreen, the rear screen, and all windows, thereby minimising any potential ballistic gaps.
The lightweight composite armoring material of choice for this package is Kevlar, precisely cut and bonded to the vehicle’s sheet metal. In addition to Kevlar, SVI has included armoured-steel plates in various smaller, more vulnerable areas, such as the pillars, ensuring a comprehensive safeguard against potential threats.
This B4-armoured Land Cruiser 300 extends its protective shield from the passenger cell all the way to the tailgate, ensuring full coverage for its occupants. Even the vehicle’s sensor package and critical under-bonnet components are safeguarded, along with additional front-fender armour. Standard windows are replaced with imported 21mm ballistic glass, carefully designed to match the original-equipment specifications and appearance.
Despite the additional weight of the armour components, which is approximately 350 kg, the Land Cruiser 300 retains its standard suspension and door hinges. This ensures that the vehicle maintains its intended functionality, seamlessly blending discreet protection with everyday utility.
