2023 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series receives price rise, AEB and GVM upgrade

The updated LandCruiser 70 Series workhorse has arrived with a $1600 price rise – but order books remain closed

UPDATE: 2023 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series pricing announced

Toyota Australia has confirmed pricing for the updated 2023 LandCruiser 70 Series.

Our original story, below, has been updated to reflect this information.

2023 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series due in Australia this month
Updated workhorse gains AEB, 3.5-tonne GVM upgrade and outside temperature display
$1600 price rise across the range

The updated 2023 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series will arrive in Australia this month with autonomous emergency braking and changes to sidestep new side-impact regulations.

It is priced from $70,550 before on-road costs, with the entire range subject to a $1600 price rise for the new model year.

However, order books for the 70 Series range will remain closed in Australia – the most popular market for the Japanese-built ute and wagon – with supply constraints pushing estimated delivery times to as long as four years.

“We’ve paused that car. It’s part of the transparency for the customers. I wouldn’t see that car coming off [pause] for the next six months at least, and maybe beyond that,” said Toyota Australia vice president of sales, marketing and franchise operations, Sean Hanley, last month.

“If we can improve [70 Series] production then certainly, but until we clear the current order bank, we can’t do that.”

As announced in May, the 38-year-old workhorse will receive the potentially life-saving active safety technology and a gross vehicle mass (GVM) upgrade to 3510 kilograms – up as much as half a tonne for some variants.

MOREToyota LandCruiser 70 Series sales paused for at least six more months

This allows the 70 Series to be reclassified as a light truck (or ‘medium goods vehicle’) to avoid costly engineering changes to comply with new Australian Design Rules requiring tougher side-impact protection.

The rule, known as ‘ADR 85’, came into force on November 1, 2022, for light commercial vehicles with a GVM under 3.5 tonnes – such as the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger.

While the ageing design of the LandCruiser 70 remains unchanged for model-year 2023, the GVM upgrade has necessitated the fitment of larger side indicators, which are more than twice the size of the halogen units found in the pre-update model.

This is due to the ADR 6 ‘direction indicators’ rule, which is also responsible for the third-party side indicators found on the factory-backed RAM 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado full-size utes, and other vehicles with an aftermarket GVM upgrade.

It has also required a minor adjustment to the curvature of the side mirrors, with no design changes.

To accommodate the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system, Toyota has fitted a windscreen-mounted camera module and radar sensor hidden behind the front emblem, similar to that found in the modern LandCruiser 300 Series. It will support vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist detection.

It leaves the MG 3, Fiat 500, LDV T60, G10 and V80, Mahindra Pik-Up, Suzuki Ignis, and entry-level versions of the MG ZS, Kia Rio, Honda CR-V, Mitsubishi Triton and Peugeot Expert as the final mainstream vehicles in Australia to not offer AEB.

The technology, which can completely stop a vehicle or reduce its speed if it detects an impending collision, will become compulsory for newly-introduced vehicles from March 1, 2023, and all cars sold in Australia from March 1, 2025.

While newer vehicles typically incorporate a digital display in the instrument cluster, the LandCruiser’s analogue gauges will remain unchanged with two alert lamps – one for when AEB is turned off, and the other when the system activates – and a manual switch to choose between ‘far’, ‘mid’ and ‘near’ sensitivity.

In addition, an outside temperature display will be added across the LandCruiser 70 Series range for model-year 2023.

The ute, wagon and Troop Carrier – priced from $68,950 before on-road costs in 2022 guise – was last updated in 2020 with a 6.1-inch infotainment system and two USB-A charging points.

A running change in 2016 brought significant chassis upgrades to the single-cab variant, allowing it to score a five-star ANCAP safety rating. All other variants remain unrated.

Note: now-discontinued, limited-edition 70th Anniversary variant shown

This rating will expire on December 31, 2023, in line with ANCAP’s newly-introduced six-year limit for its crash ratings, which will affect vehicles such as the Nissan Navara, Mitsubishi Triton (2015) and Toyota LandCruiser Prado (2011) at the end of this year.

The 2023 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series will arrive in Australian showrooms later this month.

"We have introduced significant safety and capability upgrades across the LandCruiser 70 Series range, while containing price increases to just 2.1-2.4 per cent ($1,600)," said Toyota Australia.

"The higher GVM provides customers with higher payloads, with all variants now being true one-tonners. Customers gain added peace of mind from the addition of a pre-collision system with autonomous emergency braking.

"Our customer-focused decision to pause order-taking remains in place, due to issues being experienced by the global automotive industry.”
