PRODUCTION RECOMMENCES FOR LANDCRUISER 70 SERIES AUTOMATIC VARIANTS

**LandCruiser 70 Series GXL Wagon automatic available to order again following pause**
**Addition of AdBlue system across range ensures compatibility with Euro VI emissions regulations**

Toyota Australia has re-opened orders for the legendary LandCruiser 70 Series GXL Wagon automatic, with customers now able to order the full range of automatic versions of the 76 Series wagon, 78 Series Troopcarrier and 79 Series tray body styles.

The workhorse 4x4 range has also been optimised with the addition of a 20-litre AdBlue tank, which helps to ensure the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine complies with Euro VI emissions regulations.

Toyota Australia Vice President Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations John Pappas said that the resumption of production enabled Toyota to meet the needs of customers across Australia, particularly those in rural and regional areas that rely on the LandCruiser 70 Series.

“After pausing orders for certain LandCruiser 70 Series in 2025 to manage customer expectations around vehicle supply challenges, we are excited to say that order books are now back open,” Mr Pappas said.

“The addition of the AdBlue system will also ensure the vehicles meet the latest Euro VI emission standards,” he said.

All versions of the LandCruiser 70 Series range offered with the six-speed automatic transmission are available to order, while the five-speed manual transmission offered on 78 Series, 79 Series double-cab chassis and 76 Series GXL remains unavailable for the time being.

The AdBlue system uses the vehicle’s selective catalytic reduction process to inject urea into the powertrain’s exhaust stream to help reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.

For the 76 Series, 78 Series, and 79 Series double cab-chassis, the AdBlue refuelling port is located above the front left fender with a lockable key lid. Single cab-chassis grades fit the filling port on the left side of the vehicle between the cab and rear wheels.

Power output for the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine remains unaffected with 150kW of peak power from 3000-3400rpm, and 500Nm of torque for automatic grades from 1600-2800rpm.

Along with the addition of the AdBlue tank, 78 Series Troopcarrier grades have seen a reduction in fuel tank capacity from 180 litres to 130L to match other 70 Series variants.
