2024 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series GXL Wagon (car review)

- When you think Australia, you may think football, meat pies, kangaroos and... well that other brand that's no longer around, but there's another Aussie icon that's still going strong. We speak of course, of the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series.
For decades the 70 Series has been known for its ruggedness, reliability, and off-road capabilities, as well as being one of Australia’s most dependable vehicles in the outback. That's thanks to its V8 powerplant, only this isn't that vehicle.
Instead, we're testing the new for 2024, 4-cylinder turbo diesel automatic. It's a combination that has raised the ire of the purists, but may well be the future of the 70 Series. The new donk and transmission isn't the only change though.

70 Series are produced in 1984 right and not 1970's? 🤔
The front is updated though it's more of the older version.
I love the review. Subed.
Awesome vehicle
Well presented. Subbed.
Beautiful car ❤
Good review
😍😍😍😍 thank you for the review 👍
Hey Toyota.... Stop telling us what we want and start selling us what we really want. Bring this vehicle to the U.S. I will give you my money for one with a diesel motor. Just bring it....
Same. It only costs around $35K USD in Japan. We can't have it, because it doesn't meet US emissions and safety regulations. What a bunch of BS.
Nobody wants the $70K hybrid POS they're selling in the US.
Another salesperson is trying to persuade people to switch from V8 to 2.8. The trolls have started! :))
If it was the 3.3 turb D v6 I’d be all for it. 309hp and 516tq would be epic
Not sure if anyone picked up on him saying 400 odd kg payload
It’s actually 1210kg!!
Not sure if it’s only the 4 cylinder that is but check for yourselves on carsales
For the record I’ve got one and the 4cylinder is a no brainer after owner the v8
just got to get over not having the sound but don’t miss changing gesrs

@@andyeighttreyou will need to from china then they got it
No choice anyway v8 done and dust
1. If you don't have the money for the V8's fuel consumption, just buy a Fortuner or Hilux...
2. "A good 4X4 is built, not bought". The V8 needs a tune - and it becomes a beast! While a tuned 2.8 cannot beat a tuned V8.
3. The 2.8 sounds dull and boring, while the V8 with a freeflow, just sounds epic! (Pity one cannot fit a loud exhaust to the 76 SW, since it causes an irritating "drone sound" at highway speeds, due to the outlet being under the passenger cell. The pickups doesn't have such issue with a louder exhaust)
+ Full control of the car with a manual gearbox, ability to push start, and simplicity and reliability.
Since work V8 needs a tune? What kind of jack axx V8 needs a tune to perform properly and void your warranty?
@@espkh1549 The V8 TD for some reason is massively detuned, and as such a tune performs wonders! In this case a good 4X4 is built, not bought...
@@travelmates1 people pay the Toyota tax for its reliability so it don’t make no sense to tune the engine that result in voiding the warranty and its reliability.
@@espkh1549a quick tune and she pulls 650nm easily. When you're loaded with overlanding gear in the middle of the Okavango Delta in deep sand, a little torque on tap is nice.
So is there NOT a manual version available!!!? Why would Toyota not give the option. I have a manual Discovery 2 TD5 and I live it. I drive 350 to 500 miles a week and never even think about changing gear as a drag, I enjoy it. The 76 series is in my opinion the only car that replaces the Disco 2 but not having a manual option really disappoints me! I just don’t like auto’s.
Toyota has recently announced that now they're phasing out the V8, the manual will be added to this model: www.exhaustnotes.com.au/v8-landcruiser-dead-as-toyota-confirms-manual-4-cylinder/
Hello great video just a quick question we cannot get this one in the UK but I can import one so this means I cannot just go test drive one based on the same model in your video could this be a daily driver and a prt time off roader I have seen videos and some people say they are more like farm trucks ?? are they really or are the 2024 a bit more refined ( for want of a better word ?) regards Dave in the UK
Hi there. The 2024 model is definitely more refined than the model it replaces, but they are still quite farm truck oriented. That said, we know a few readers who have done a few bits of work to them (improving suspension and tuning engine), and drive them every single day.
I just got back from a month in Botswana and Zimbabwe. Please let me tell you the straight truth. The Land Cruiser 70 is utterly unrefined and basic, and that's what you want when you're in the Okavango Delta and the last tarmac was 100 miles ago. Unless you plan to go very off-road all the time, buy a Prado or Defender or Range Rover or something comfortable.
These sell well in Africa and outback Australia for a reason.
Didn't mention anything about the 4 cylinder for towing capability.
just dont tow youll be dissapointed
@@666dualsportI have my ram 2500 for towing … this is a Japanese car… it’s a plastic toy
There's a few out there. Ronny Dahl. It's better towing as well.
@@DonegalHolloway dahl is sponsored by toyota--- he has zero credibility
Where is the Antenna In/Out switch?

I have watched so many of these about the 2.8 Vs the V8 but we do have them here so you all assume everyone knows the answer to this question! NONE of you EVER refer to the V8 as petrol (gas) or Diesel. WHYYYYY! You all talk about the four cylinder 2.8 Diesel being more economical than “the V8” but you never say “more economical than the V8 gas” or “more economical than the V8 Diesel” so because you emphasise the Diesel when mentioning the 2.8 but say nothing about fuel when referring to the V8 one might assume that the V8 is a gas engine but then you talk about different types of intercooler so then I’m confused! Please put me out of my misery, is the V8 76 series gas or Diesel?? Because if it’s Diesel, I want one! Never mind the economy, I’ll get that back in the difference of price! Come on, please tell me it’s Diesel. 😜
It's diesel. Both the V8 and the turbo 4-cylinder are diesel.
@@ExhaustNotesAustralia Sorry, meant to say thanks ages ago! Brilliant! Now I know what car to get next! 😀🙏
if your not getting the manual V8 just go get a prado and a dress
how does this compare to a prado?
They're very different. The 70 Series is a workhorse, while the Prado is a mid-range family SUV.
Can you remove the snorkel at the front? It would look so much better without it.
Yes you can! This way you finally get rid of the last remaining resemblance to the old legend.
You can't mate. Toyota is aware that every 70 series owner will need that bit of penis extension to justify the price tag of a truck with 80's tech.
Couldn't they put a detuned version of the 300 series twin turbo V6 ???
I swear Toyota just love to milk their customers 😂😂😂
It has 4.0 NA V6 petrol for the Middle Eastern and African markets
@mertkocabas7604
I meant the diesel plant in the 300 series in our market ( Australia ) instead of the weak sauce 2.8l 4 cylinder engine ?
You don't know what you're talking about, over tuned 4 will fail
Yep, that's why Toyota has dumped its ageing V8 and the 4-cylinder is now the only option there is in a 70 Series.
what kind of wheels are these???
they made from gouda cheese
Round ones
unlike the Landrover this is looks like it wants to get shitfaced, in the mud...
My series 2 Land Rover will go anywhere and conquer anything , only off road though. 2nd gear low range, awesome.
My daily driver , a Land Cruiser V8 does everything l require of it, on and off road through the outback and back again. But l do like the look of the new 70 series.
I think he was talking about the latest landrover defender @@purebloodnordicroamer7955
Please stop calling it a car.
the car is worth a top of $50k
No, they’re much more expensive than that.
@@oggyoggy1299 they me cost more but they are worth 50k max
Tol much electronics , not good for a real offroad , toyota for save money make 3 models with same engine....mistake I will buy grenadier or other with less elettronics
🎉👍👍👍👍🎉

40k is all it is worth
i would have even agreed a 50K. No way it is worth 90K !! probably would be happier with a y62 IMO
@@KAURAVANthis is how much being sold in china since Chinese have no love for Japanese car brands
@@espkh1549don't bullshit, china market doesn't have lc70, not safe enough, but people do parallels import this into China from sadi arabic, selling price for 2024 model is about aus$180000
@@aklbruce ain’t no one stops you using Google translator to check on its price in china, what you said it’s like 10-15 years ago. Page has turned. If you enjoy being ripped off by Toyota , well , be my guest. Why you would support a country that committed war crimes to US , china and Australia? Do you have a backbone?
@@aklbruce looks like you are one of those people ain’t never use car brokers before. Pls check the 76 4.0 petrol version that is widely available in china . You will be surprised when you see the price. The same thing goes to ford as well, its car are generally 30% cheaper over there
