Externally, such an armored vehicle does not resemble the "Cruiser": in this case, the armor plates were not sewn into the structure itself; instead, the Africans created the body from scratch. The vehicle's protection class is EN1063 BR6, which means it can withstand hits from submachine guns and rifles (7.62 mm caliber), as well as explosions of anti-personnel mines.

In addition, SVI specialists reinforced the frame of the "Japanese", thereby increasing its payload capacity. Up to 8 people can be accommodated on board.

Another feature of the Max 3 Troopy is that it is manufactured as a civilian vehicle, and therefore its operation does not require permission from the authorities (such as the National Conventional Arms Control Committee of South Africa (NCACC)).

Under the hood of the SUV is a 4.5-liter V8 turbodiesel producing 202 hp and 430 Nm of torque. The maximum speed of the SVI Max 3 Troopy is 140 km/h.

You can buy an armored Land Cruiser in the SVI Engineering interpretation for $128.5 thousand.
