The highlight of this update is the introduction of a brand-new 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, delivering impressive power and efficiency. Paired exclusively with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission, the driving experience is set to be unparalleled.
The retro look of the LandCruiser 70 Series is now more captivating than ever, blending timeless design elements with modern enhancements. Toyota has skillfully combined tradition with innovation, creating a vehicle that turns heads wherever it goes.
While the 4.5-litre turbo-diesel V8 and five-speed manual transmission options will continue to be available, the addition of the 2.8-litre diesel engine opens up new possibilities for drivers seeking optimal performance and reliability.
Anticipation is building as the updated LandCruiser 70 Series is expected to arrive between October and December 2023. However, details regarding the opening of order books are yet to be confirmed.
Toyota has unveiled the highly-anticipated 2024 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series, equipped with a remarkable 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine that packs a punch. Generating an impressive 150kW at 3400rpm and an astounding 500Nm of torque from 600-2800rpm, this engine offers an incredible 70Nm more torque compared to the V8 variant. Although it produces 1kW less power than the V8, it still maintains a remarkable performance.
Buyers will have the opportunity to opt for the four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with the automatic transmission across the entire range. Whether you prefer the single-cab chassis variants, such as Workmate, GX, and GXL, or the dual-cab chassis, five-door wagon, and Troop Carrier, Toyota has got you covered.
Excitingly, the four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine will be available in the Workmate and GXL grades, ensuring a versatile and powerful option for discerning buyers. However, it’s important to note that the V8 will no longer be offered in the Workmate wagon, but will continue to be available in all other model grades.
The new 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine represents a leap forward in performance and efficiency, reaffirming the LandCruiser 70 Series’ legacy as a true workhorse and off-road icon. Stay tuned for further updates as this outstanding vehicle prepares to hit the roads and conquer new terrains.
