Toyota has lifted the price of the LandCruiser 70 Series by $1300 across all models, effective 1 November 2026. The entry-level WorkMate wagon now starts at $76,900 before on-road costs.
Why it matters
Toyota Australia's vice president of sales said the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard emissions laws will push up the prices of some models. The increase follows earlier price rises on the Corolla hatchback range.
The 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine produces 150kW and 500Nm, with three-pedal variants producing 450Nm of torque. Toyota Australia projects total 2026 sales above 220,000 vehicles.
The players
Toyota Australia
The Australian arm of the Japanese automaker Toyota, which sells the LandCruiser 70 Series and is expected to remain the country's best-selling vehicle brand for a 24th consecutive year.
The details
The price rise applies to the WorkMate, GX and GXL grades across wagon, Troop Carrier, single-cab/chassis and double-cab/chassis body styles. Toyota Australia paused orders for manual-transmission LandCruiser 70 Series versions earlier this year, and has not said when they will reopen.
Timeline
January 2025: New Vehicle Efficiency Standard emissions laws came into effect in Australia.
October 2026: Corolla hatchback prices rose by up to $1000.
1 November 2026: The LandCruiser 70 Series price increase takes effect.
Roadmap
The New Vehicle Efficiency Standard, which took effect in January 2025, is pushing manufacturers to raise prices on some models to offset compliance costs. A second phase of the standard is scheduled for 2030, meaning further price pressure on Australian buyers is likely.
Buyers considering a LandCruiser 70 Series will pay $1300 more than before across every grade, with the entry WorkMate wagon starting at $76,900 before on-road costs. Anyone waiting on a manual variant should check with dealers, as Toyota has not confirmed when those orders will reopen.
The takeaway
Buyers planning a purchase should factor in the $1300 increase and compare on-road costs carefully before committing. Emissions rules are likely to keep pushing vehicle prices upward in the coming years.
What happens next
The LandCruiser 70 Series price increase takes effect on 1 November 2026, and Japanese LandCruiser 70 Series updates are scheduled for January 2027.
