Toyota LandCruiser 70

Inside, the updated 2024 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series has a new 6.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with voice recognition and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

There’s also a 4.2-inch instrument cluster screen, new-look speedometer and tachometer.

GXL grades gain two new USB-C ports in place of the existing 12V, while the 76 Series Wagon gains a reversing camera.

All models get lane departure warning, speed sign recognition and automatic high-beam. This follows the standardisation of autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection across the range for 2023.

At the front the updated LandCruiser 70 Series has new heritage-inspired circular LED headlights with automatic high-beam.

A black mesh grille with a heritage-inspired bonnet and turn signals, dark grey alloy wheels and overfenders are added on 76 and 79 Series GX and GXL models.

The 1VD-FTV 4.5-litre V8 turbo-diesel is still available in the updated LandCruiser 70 Series. It’s offered on almost every single variant, apart from the entry-level 76 Series Wagon WorkMate, which can only be had with the new 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel.

LandCruiser 70 Series models with the 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine are $4100 cheaper than ones equipped with the 4.5-litre V8 turbo-diesel engine.

Automatic transmission-equipped models feature a power/haul mode, as well as a second start switch which starts the vehicle in second gear for better traction.

A transmission guard adds extra underbody protection for the oil pan, while the breather hose has been raised to 900mm to assist water crossing performance.
