Toyota Australia is enhancing the LandCruiser 300 Series with a range of safety and technology upgrades for 2025.
Previewed in Japan earlier this year, the 2025 Toyota LandCruiser 300 will benefit from a mid-life update when it arrives in Australia between April and June next year, though its looks won’t change.
Across the range, the LandCruiser’s suite of safety features will be improved, with all variants gaining lane-centring assist and emergency steering assist (previously exclusive to the VX and above), while all variants are set to gain Toyota’s emergency driving stop system.
If the vehicle detects the driver is unresponsive, it’ll pull over safely by itself – provided the adaptive cruise control and lane-centring systems are active.

VX and above will get a 12.3-inch digital cluster (Lexus LX shown)
In addition to this, a safe exit system – which warns of approaching vehicles and cyclists – has been added to LandCruiser 300 variants with blind-spot monitoring (GXL and above), while the GXL also gains a rear parking support brake.
Elsewhere in the range, the GX and GXL have had their instrument cluster display screens increased to a customisable 7.0-inch digital unit (up from 4.2 inches), while higher-spec grades move up from the 7.0-inch display to 12.3-inch, fully digital instrument cluster.
The GX and GXL have also had their infotainment touchscreens downsized to 8.0 inches (from 9.0 inches), though they now feature wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as connected navigation services and over-the-air updates.
Connected service functionality has been expanded to include remote air-conditioning operations, vehicle and trip information as well as alerts, all of which can be accessed through the myToyota Connect smartphone application.
No design changes are coming for the LandCruiser 300
The VX and above also score these upgrades on their 12.3-inch touchscreens. These upgrades have come at the expense of the existing CD, DVD and Blu-Ray receiver capabilities – though a HDMI port has been fitted in their place.
Minor grade-specific changes include LandCruiser GXs gaining a power-adjustable steering column, first-row LED interior lighting, and reverse camera guidelines.
The LandCruiser GXL now features faux-suede fabric upholstery, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat (with lumbar support), quad-zone climate control, a centre console cool box and a 40/20/40 split-folding second-row of seating, which includes a centre armrest.
Mid-range VXs will be equipped with an eight-way power-adjustable passenger seat and a power tailgate.
GR Sport examples will gain a tailgate puddle lamp, while the Sahara and Sahara VX are unchanged.
There are no changes to the LandCruiser’s twin-turbo 3.3-litre V6 diesel engine, which continues to produce 227kW and 700Nm, delivered to all four wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Toyota is yet to announce pricing for the 2025 LandCruiser 300 Series, with more information to be announced closer to its second-quarter launch.
The current 300 Series lineup starts from $96,991 before on-road costs for the base GX, and tops out at $145,791 before on-roads for the flagship Sahara ZX.
