300 Series (2021 to Present)

The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series, manufactured globally since 2021, has firmly established itself as the high-tech successor to the legendary 200 Series, and in March 2026, it stands as the most advanced off-roader in the country. While the bulk of the range continues to be powered by the punchy 3.3-litre twin-turbo diesel V6 (227kW/700Nm), the local buyer pool is currently buzzing with the arrival of the 300 Series Performance Hybrid, which pairs a 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 with an electric motor to deliver a massive 326kW and 790Nm—surpassing even the old V8 for sheer grunt. This new "Performance Hybrid" has significantly boosted the model's desirability among luxury caravanners and long-distance tourers who value its silent low-speed electric crawling and the fact it retains a full 3,500kg braked towing capacity. Despite recent 2026 price increases of $1,000 across the range, the market value of the 300 Series remains incredibly robust; the flagship Sahara ZX and off-road focussed GR Sport are particularly sought after, with wait times for new orders still stretching out several months as Australia remains the world's leading market for the nameplate. This massive popularity is supported by a huge Australian aftermarket world, where specialist shops like Just Autos and Perth Diesel Performance offer everything from ECU remapping and GVM upgrades to high-clearance bull bars and custom "touring" canopies, ensuring the 300 Series is fully equipped for the most brutal outback conditions.
