AutoExec Summary
An electric Toyota LandCruiser wagon family may be available in Australia by 2026, alongside the diesel 300 Series and LC70. The LandCruiser Se prototype was revealed at the Japan Mobility Show, hinting at a more road-focused LandCruiser. Plans suggest a 2026 launch to celebrate the off-roader’s 75th anniversary, using new Toyota BEV technology. Toyota engineer Masaya Uchiyama mentioned the possibility of an electric LandCruiser, focusing on comfort over hardcore off-road capabilities. Uchiyama hinted at a production model with a monocoque platform and electric power. While a true rock-hopping model may not arrive until after 2030, Toyota is committed to expanding its EV lineup. Toyota Australia VP Sean Hanley expressed eagerness for the electric LandCruiser’s arrival, hinting at its potential success in the market.
