Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid: 457 HP Hybrid SUV Launches in Australia with $112K Price Tag

Toyota has officially launched the Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid in Australia, marking the most powerful and expensive Land Cruiser ever sold in the country. The electrified flagship SUV arrives with a 457 hp (341 kW / 464 PS) powertrain, combining a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine with an electric motor.

The launch follows earlier rollouts in the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe, expanding the hybrid’s global footprint. Despite its premium positioning, the Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid remains significantly more affordable than its Lexus LX700h counterpart.

Two Trims: GR Sport and Sahara ZX

Buyers can choose between two trims:

• GR Sport: Off-road-focused with a familiar body kit and upgraded suspension.
• Sahara ZX: Luxury-oriented with a redesigned front bumper and reshaped intakes.

Both trims share the same i-Force Max hybrid powertrain, which is also used in the Toyota Tundra and Lexus LX700h.

Hybrid Powertrain Specifications

The Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid’s i-Force Max powertrain delivers:

• 457 hp (341 kW / 464 PS) combined output
• 790 Nm (583 lb-ft) of torque
• 10-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive
• Toyota’s electronic differential locks for off-road capability

Compared to the standard 3.3-liter V6 turbodiesel, the hybrid offers an extra 153 hp (114 kW / 155 PS) and 90 Nm (66 lb-ft) of torque.

Hybrid-specific features include electric power steering and a 1,500W power socket at the rear. However, the hybrid model is exclusively available as a five-seater, lacking a three-row seven-seater option.

Pricing and Availability

The Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid will arrive at Australian dealerships in mid-2026. Pricing is as follows:

• GR Sport: AU$156,060 (US$111,700)
• Sahara ZX: AU$156,810 (US$112,300)

These prices exclude on-road costs. The hybrid variant commands a AU$8,900 (US$6,400) premium over equivalent V6-powered Land Cruiser 300 trims.

The Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid is now the second most expensive Toyota sold in Australia, trailing only the right-hand-drive Tundra Platinum with the same hybrid setup. Despite its premium price, it remains AU$40,000 (US$28,700) cheaper than the mechanically related Lexus LX 700h.
