AutoExec Summary
Toyota Australia has announced that it will no longer offer the V8 engine in its LandCruiser 70 Series due to impending Federal Government emissions standards. The V8 will be axed from the range starting in September, with production of certain models ending in September and others continuing through to the final quarter of 2025. The manufacturer will offer an adapted version of the V8’s five-speed manual transmission for the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine. The decision to discontinue the V8 has been driven by changing regulations and community expectations. Toyota is working to convert V8 deposit holders and fulfill as many local customer V8 orders as possible.
Brands mentioned: Toyota, Ford, Ram, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Jaguar
