Attention all car enthusiasts, prepare yourself for some exciting news! Toyota has recently announced a surprising facelift for the Land Cruiser 70 Series set to be released in late November 2023. This legendary generation, known for its “indestructible” reputation, was first introduced back in 1984, making it a monumental 39 years old!
The refreshed version of the Land Cruiser 70 Series, as unveiled by Toyota, maintains the iconic design of this generation. Despite its classic appearance, this boxy design is becoming a new trend in the market, as showcased in the latest Land Cruiser Prado model.

In the latest update, the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series will still offer three configurations, including a 5-door SUV, a 3-door SUV, and a single-cabin pickup truck. A picture released by Toyota Australia suggests the potential addition of a dual-cabin configuration, although it has yet to be confirmed.
Aesthetic updates can be seen, such as round LED headlights, prominent turn signals, a chrome-plated front bumper, and box-shaped taillights that pay homage to the original Land Cruiser design. The introduction of new 16-inch alloy wheels may be an exclusive feature in the UAE market.

In terms of safety technology, it is equipped with modern features such as Lane Change Assist and Forward Collision Warning.
