New Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series 2021 pricing and specs detailed: Cost goes way up with big multimedia upgrade

Toyota Australia has updated the LandCruiser 70 Series off-roader, with the key focus being multimedia, although its cost has increased considerably as a result.

The LandCruiser 70 Series remains available in three grades (entry-level Workmate, mid-range GX and flagship GXL) with two SUV body-styles (five-door wagon and three-door Troop Carrier) and two ute (single- and dual-cab chassis).

Pricing-wise, the wagon is up $2410, while the Troop Carrier has increased $2360, meaning the LandCruiser 70 Series now starts from $67,400 plus on-road costs.

Meanwhile, the single-cab chassis is up $3750-3850, while the dual-cab chassis has increased $3760-3860, so the LandCruiser 70 Series now reaches $75,600 (see full pricing table below).

Buyers are compensated for the price rises, with a 6.1-inch touchscreen multimedia system now standard range-wide alongside voice control, satellite navigation and Bluetooth connectivity.

Other new equipment includes two front USB ports, a 12V power outlet, a larger smartphone holder and a cupholder in the passenger’s door bin.

As before, all LandCruiser 70 Series variants are powered by a 151kW/430Nm 4.5-litre turbo-diesel V8 engine, which is exclusively mated to five-speed manual transmission and a part-time four-wheel system with a low-range transfer case.
