Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid: The Most Powerful SUV in History Presented

For car enthusiasts and fans of modern technology, a long-awaited announcement: Toyota has officially unveiled the first-ever hybrid version of the Land Cruiser 300 model. This is not only the most advanced and powerful modification in the model's history but also an event that sets new standards in the SUV market.

Main features of the new model

The new Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid boasts 457 horsepower and 790 Nm of torque, making it the most powerful LC 300 in history. Under the hood is a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo gasoline engine paired with an auxiliary electric motor. They work together with a 10-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system.

According to Toyota Australia representatives, the new hybrid variant will outperform the diesel version in towing and hauling. However, there are some technical limitations: for example, the hybrid Land Cruiser 300's fuel tank is 68 liters, which is significantly smaller than that of the gasoline version.

Exterior and interior innovations

The hybrid version is easy to distinguish on the outside: the updated front bumper and “HEV” (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) badge on the rear door give it a special modern look. The car's battery is charged by energy recovered during braking — so, unlike plug-in hybrids, there is no external charging port.

Inside, the differences are mainly limited to the new graphics on the instrument panel. The trunk volume has not yet been announced, but the presence of a socket has been noted — highlighting a focus on convenience.

Market launch and prices

The new hybrid Land Cruiser 300 was first introduced in the Middle East and is planned to be released in the UK, Europe, and other major markets. In the United Arab Emirates, this model can already be ordered. The VXR trim starts at $106,200, while the GR-Sport version is priced from $111,600.

Toyota also plans to launch the hybrid LC 300 in the Australian market in the first half of 2026.

Conclusion

The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid is not only a vehicle that stands out for its new technology and powerful technical features, but also a symbol of durability, power, and reliability among SUVs. How popular it will become in the market and among users will become clear in the near future.
