The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 pricing for South Africa has been confirmed by the brand’s local arm. The heritage off-roader will be available in five trims with two engine options.
Kicking things off is the entry-level Toyota Land Cruiser 300 GX-R 3,3D with a price tag of R1 283 200. This is followed by the ZX 3,3D at R 1 765 500 and the ZX 3,5T at R1 797 100. These three trims remain the utility-focused offerings (while the ZX replaces the VX-R as the luxury model) but retain key features such as LED headlamps with integrated DRLs, keyless entry with auto-door-lock, park distance control, an electric parking brake, climate control with rear-zone, power driver-seat adjustment, a multi-Information Display, built-in navigation (with Tracks 4 Africa support on the GX-R), multiple power outlets with charging port, Crawl Control and Drive Mode Select.
New to the local offering is the sportier GR-S trim which is available with the 3,3D and 3,5T powertrains. This costs R1 811 900 and R1 824 900 respectively. Together with the ZX, this trim features power fold-down third-row seating, a power-operated back door with hands-free function, heated steering wheel with wood accents, JBL 14-speaker audio system with DVD playback and 12,3-inch screen, Multi-Terrain Monitor with Panoramic View, seat heating & ventilation for first- and second-row passengers, a wireless charger and tyre pressure monitoring. All models have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.
An all-new engine line-up propels the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 range. This includes a twin-turbopetrol 3,5-litre V6 or a turbodiesel 3,3-litre V6. The petrol offers 305 kW at 5 200 r/min and 650 N.m of torque available from 2 000 r/min while the new diesel delivers 225 kW at 4 000 r/min and 700 N.m between 1 600 and 2 600 r/min. Top speed is limited at 210 km/h for both variants. The new engines are mated to a new 10-speed automatic transmission with low-range functionality.
Petrol ZX models will go on sale early August with the diesel and GR-S derivatives following shortly thereafter. All Toyota Land Cruiser 300 models are sold with a nine-services / 90 000 km service plan with service intervals set at 12-months or 10 000 km (whichever occurs first). A three-year/100 000 km warranty is included across the board.
