SYDNEY: The Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series gains a powerful one-motor hybrid powertrain, which will arrive in Australia in in the first half of 2026.
In a statement, Toyota Australia said the legendary LandCruiser has entered a new era with the reveal of its first ever performance one-motor hybrid powertrain option.
"This marks an important step in Toyota Australia’s multi-pathway approach towards electrification, offering customers a mix of powertrain technologies to support their varied lifestyles," said the company.
Toyota Australia vice president sales, marketing and franchise operations Sean Hanley said the new LandCruiser 300 Series would offer customers a level of performance never before offered on the nameplate.
“For decades, Australians have trusted the LandCruiser to get them to the furthest reaches of the country and back again – it is synonymous with Australian outback touring thanks to its incredible capability and dependability,” said Hanley.
The new LandCruiser variant is underpinned by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 engine paired with a powerful electric motor generator in a parallel hybrid arrangement.
The new powertrain offers increased power and torque over the existing 3.3-litre twin-turbo diesel engine.
