Overview
- Toyota plans to introduce the petrol‑electric LandCruiser 300 Hybrid in Australia in early 2026, with reports pointing to a March arrival.
- The drivetrain pairs a 3.5‑litre twin‑turbo V6 with a single electric motor and 10‑speed auto; combined outputs are yet to be confirmed for Australia.
- Preview drives report stronger, more immediate acceleration and a quieter cabin, with GoAuto citing an expected 0–100km/h time of 6.4 seconds.
- Core capability is retained, including low‑range off‑road systems and a 3500kg braked towing rating, according to Drive’s test-track session.
- The hybrid will be offered only in Sahara ZX and GR Sport grades with five seats, is expected to carry a price premium above A$150,000, and faces open questions on real‑world fuel use despite modest overseas figures.
