LandCruiser 79
The Next Chapter
Delivering legendary strength and a truck load more impressive
attributes with its highly anticipated 2023 uplift, the
LandCruiser 70 is still your reliable workhorse
when the going gets tough.
The legend
Now with the choice of two turbo-diesel powertrains, including the iconic 4.5L V8 or a new 4-cylinder 2.8L engine with 6-speed automatic transmission, let's talk performance.
The legendary 4.5L V8 turbo diesel engine delivers enough grunt to help make tough jobs easy. With 151kW of power coming on strong at just 3,400rpm, and 430Nm of torque all the way from 1,200-3,200rpm, you get quick acceleration, big pulling power on steep hills, and the muscle to haul heavy loads.⁸ It’s harnessed to a robust 5-speed manual transmission that shifts smoothly across high and low range, even when faced with testing terrain.
The next generation
A real workhorse needs a big heart and the new 2.8L 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission delivers. Offering 150kW of power at 3,400rpm and a massive 500Nm of torque from 1,600-2,800rpm, this impressive new heavy-duty powertrain has proven its toughness and reliability in other Toyota 4WDs.
The new 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine equals or exceeds the V8’s stump-pulling torque output from 1400-3400rpm, and enhances both fuel efficiency, overall performance and driveability in all conditions, even when towing. It unleashes the capability to keep LandCruiser exploring for longer.
