The quintessential Australian family bus, the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series, has received a mid-life model update with larger screens, more safety tech, and a price increase of around $8,000. However, as many would argue, you can’t put a price on reliability, and despite all of these fancy upgrades, this is still a rugged off-roader that could take you from one side of the country to the other in supreme comfort.

“When launched locally in late 2021, the LandCruiser 300 Series continued the legacy created by its forebears, offering excellent performance, comfort and off-road capability for families and adventurers alike,” said Toyota Australia Vice President Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations Sean Hanley. “This new range of upgrades to the line-up offer valuable safety, comfort and technology improvements which customers are sure to appreciate.”

The cheapest Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series money can buy is the updated GX model grade, which is priced from $97,990 plus on-road costs. Meanwhile, the most popular grades, the GXL and VX, will now cost you $110,820 plus on-road costs and $122,510 plus on-road costs, respectively, which is expensive, but still cheaper than the 2025 Toyota Tundra (AUD$155,990 before on-road costs).

The top-of-the-range Sahara ZX is priced at $146,910 plus on-road costs, and the GR Sport sits just under it at $146,160 plus on-road costs.

• Outputs 227kW of power and 700Nm of torque.
• Mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.
• Full-time 4WD system with low-range gearing.

Nothing has changed under the bonnet in the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series and it’s still powered by the 3.3-litre twin-turbo diesel V6 engine that produces 227kW of power and 700Nm of torque. It’s proven to be quite a workhorse despite early concerns for excessive oil consumption, and it’s compliant with Euro 5 emissions standards.

The engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission with a full-time 4WD system and low-range gearing, and every LandCruiser 300 Series features a locking centre differential, low-range transfer case, crawl control, downhill assist control and active traction control. Step up to GXL and above grades, and you’ll add Multi-Terrain Select and the Sahara ZX Torsen® rear torque-sensing limited-slip differential.

Finally, the flagship GR Sport retains the front and rear locking differentials, e-KDSS electronic swaybar disconnect and unique exterior styling that includes the addition of a puddle light on the inside of the tailgate.

How Nice is the Interior of the New Toyota LandCruiser?

• GX now includes 7.0-inch digital cluster and powered steering column.
• GXL gets four-zone climate control, centre console cool box, and suede-like upholstery.
• VX adds ventilated seats, synthetic leather, moon roof, and eight-way front passenger seat.
• Sahara grade maintains JBL audio, leather-accented seats, and rear-seat entertainment.
• Sahara ZX boasts carbon-look trim, kick sensor tailgate, and luxurious cabin finishes.

The interior of the base-model GX variant has been upgraded for the new model year, and that means you now get a new 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster and 8.0-inch touchscreen display that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB+ digital radio, Bluetooth compatibility and voice recognition. Comfort has also been increased with, hold onto your hats, a powered tilt and telescopic steering column!

The popular seven-seat GXL model finds an upgraded 7-inch digital instrument cluster, four-zone automatic climate control (up from two-zone), a centre console cool box, suede-like fabric upholstery, eight-way driver’s seat powered adjustment with lumbar support, 40/20/40 split-folding second-row seats and a second-row centre armrest.

Meanwhile, things start to get serious with the VX model that gains a larger 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch multimedia system touchscreen with connected and embedded satellite navigation, and a new front HDMI port that replaces the outdated DVD/CD player for media playback. The new eight-way powered front passenger seat adjustment joins other carryover premium appointments including synthetic leather upholstery, carpet floor mats, heated and ventilated front seats, moon roof, and powered tailgate.

The price rises substantially for the Toyota LandCruiser Sahara ($139,310 plus on-road costs), and it hasn’t changed at all for the new model year. However, it’s still the cheapest way to get leather in your new 300 Series, and it comes with leather-accented upholstery, heated and ventilated second-row outboard seats, dual rear-seat entertainment system, 14-speaker JBL®8 premium audio system, head-up display, power-folding third-row seats and a heated steering wheel.

Top-of-the-range Sahara ZX and GR Sport models remain unchanged for the new model year, and that means a unique grille and bumper design, 20-inch alloy wheels, a carbon-look steering wheel, and a tailgate kick sensor for the Sahara ZX and unique off-road-focused bits for the GR Sport.

Note that Saturn Blue metallic has been removed from the LandCruiser’s colour palette.

What Changes Have Been Made to Safety and Driver Assistance?

• Expanded Toyota Safety Sense suite is now standard across all six grades.
• GX gains Lane Trace Assist, Emergency Steering Assist, and Emergency Driving Stop System.
• Safe Exit Assist and Rear Parking Support Brake added to GXL and above.
• Parking camera guidelines have been introduced to the GX for easier reversing.
• All models retain core off-road safety features, including crawl control and downhill assist.

Finally, upgrades have been made to the safety systems across all model grades of the new Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series with new Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance features added across the six-variant model range.

Starting with the entry-level GX, that includes lane trace assist with steering wheel vibration, emergency steering assist and the emergency driving stop system. Parking is also easier with guidelines now added to the GX’s reversing camera.

The GXL grade adds safe exit assist and rear parking support brake to people, objects, vehicles, etc., when you’re reversing out of a parking space.
