Toyota Australia stops order-taking: LandCruiser 70 Series GXL Wagon (auto)

SYDNEY: Toyota Australia has paused customer orders from July 17, 2025 on the LandCruiser 70 Series GXL Wagon automatic variant.

Toyota Australia said this was due to strong customer demand and relatively low production levels.

The sales pause only affects this single model.

Toyota Australia vice president sales, marketing and franchise operations Sean Hanley said the decision to pause orders on this single LandCruiser 70 Series variant would provide customers with more certainty around delivery times for existing orders.

“We know in the past, particularly through the COVID-19 pandemic and during the global semi-conductor supply shortage, vehicle supply challenges caused a degree of frustration with our customers with wait times for delivery of new vehicles being extended significantly,” said Hanley.

“We continue to work with our parent company in Japan to optimise production and supply levels of all Toyota vehicles."

“Since we launched the new four-cylinder LandCruiser 70 Series in late 2023, we have seen its appeal grow for Australian customers with strong demand across the entire range,” he said.

All LandCruiser 70 Series models are powered by Toyota’s proven 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine with a choice of five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmissions on GXL Wagon, GXL Troop Carrier, GXL Double Cab Chassis, WorkMate Troop Carrier and WorkMate Double Cab Chassis.

The WorkMate Wagon and all Single Cab Chassis models are offered with the automatic transmission only.

Apart from the GXL Wagon automatic, Toyota has good supply of all other variants in the LandCruiser 70 Series range with Toyota dealers having some variants in stock for immediate delivery, or are able to deliver new orders within two to four months depending on the variant.
