Toyota has just unveiled an impressive upgrade to the LandCruiser 70 Series, set to hit Australian markets in Q4 2023. The big news is the introduction of a four-cylinder turbodiesel engine combined with a six-speed automatic transmission, a first for this model.
But that’s not all! The updated 70 Series also boasts a refreshed look, incorporating stylish new features. Safety technology has seen significant improvements, promising a safer driving experience. Additionally, comfort and convenience features have been enhanced to make those long drives a breeze. And guess what? The multimedia system has received an upgrade too!
Now, here’s the exciting part. Toyota has made sure that the new powertrain caters to a wide range of customers. Whether you prefer single or double cab, troop carrier, or wagon variants, the four-cylinder turbodiesel engine will be available across all options. Not to mention, it will join the existing V8 turbodiesel/five-speed manual variants, giving you even more choices for this legendary 4WD model.
The brains behind Toyota’s operations, Sean Hanley, President of Sales, Marketing, and Franchise Operations for Toyota Australia, emphasized their dedication to meeting the needs of Australian customers. This upgrade exemplifies Toyota’s commitment to ensuring that their LandCruiser 70 Series continues to be a top-notch choice in the market.
Now, let’s talk about the heart of the upgraded LandCruiser – the new 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine. This powerhouse generates an impressive maximum power of 150kW at 3400rpm and a peak torque of 500Nm between 1600rpm and 2800rpm. Oh, did we mention that this is 70Nm more than the existing V8 diesel engine? Talk about a burst of power!
And here’s something cool – the engine will exclusively be paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. This means smoother gear shifts, making your driving experience all the more delightful. The four-cylinder turbodiesel engine will be available in three Single Cab grades – Workmate, GX, and GXL. But wait, there’s more! It will also be offered in two grades – Workmate and GXL – for the Double Cab, Troop Carrier, and Wagon variants.
Now, let’s not forget about the ever-reliable 4.5-liter V8 turbodiesel engine. While not paired with the automatic transmission, this gem still packs a punch. It delivers a maximum power of 151kW at 3400rpm and peak torque of 430Nm from 1200rpm to 3200rpm.
So, there you have it – Toyota’s upgraded LandCruiser 70 Series. A perfect blend of power, style, and safety enhancements to cater to the diverse needs of Australian customers. With a new and powerful four-cylinder turbodiesel engine and improved features, it’s a 4WD model that’s definitely worth the wait. Get ready to hit the road in style and comfort with Toyota’s latest creation!
