2027 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series get tech upgrade with price increase

Toyota Australia has applied a $1,300 price increase across every model grade and body style of the LandCruiser 70 Series, effective from November 1, 2026. The price adjustments arrive alongside mechanical updates to meet stricter emissions standards and follow warnings from Toyota executives regarding the financial impact of the Federal Government's incoming New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES).

Toyota Australia vice president of sales John Pappas recently noted that NVES regulations will particularly challenge light commercial vehicles from 2027, cautioning that the laws will push up the prices of critical models for rural and commercial buyers. Despite the price adjustments, Toyota anticipates a record final quarter in 2026, projecting over 220,000 total annual sales to secure its 24th consecutive year as Australia's best-selling brand.

Euro 6 Emissions and AdBlue Integration

Following a several-month production pause, updated LandCruiser 70 Series models are now arriving in local showrooms equipped to meet Euro 6 'Stage C' emissions regulations.

To achieve compliance, automatic variants have been fitted with a 20-litre AdBlue diesel exhaust fluid system. The filler port is located on the front left side for the 76 Series wagon, 78 Series Troop Carrier, and 79 Series double-cab, while the 79 Series single-cab houses the port between the cab and rear wheels. To accommodate the new AdBlue tank, the 78 Series Troop Carrier’s fuel capacity has been reduced from 180 litres to 130 litres, equalizing it with the rest of the range.

Powertrain Specifications

Orders for manual-transmission versions of the 70 Series remain paused locally, with Toyota yet to confirm a reopening date.

Equipment and Anticipated 2027 Technology Upgrades

Reports from Japanese publication Creative Trend indicate that the 70 Series will receive further technology updates from January 2027, headlined by the introduction of a 360-degree Panoramic View Monitor. If adopted in Australia, this surround-view technology—which stitches together images from front, side, and rear cameras—would likely necessitate an upgrade from the current 6.7-inch infotainment touchscreen. Currently, the 76 and 78 Series include a factory-fitted reversing camera, while the 79 Series cab-chassis models omit the camera and feature manual side mirrors.

2026/2027 LandCruiser 70 Series Trim Levels:

• WorkMate: Features 16-inch steel wheels with a full-size spare, LED headlights, and a snorkel. The interior includes vinyl-trimmed seats and door cards, and a 6.7-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• GX (79 Series Single-Cab Auto Only): Adds 16-inch alloy wheels and wheel-arch extensions over the base WorkMate.
• GXL: Builds on the lower grades with LED fog lights, chrome bumpers, chrome drip rails, cloth seating, and carpet flooring.
