The Toyota 70 Series cost increase is now in effect. Every Toyota LandCruiser 70 variant rose by $1,300 from 1 November 2026, according to the latest industry list pricing. The 76 Series WorkMate wagon now starts at $76,900 before on-road costs, and the flagship 79 Series GXL double-cab chassis automatic reaches $84,800.
The rise applies across every body style and grade, including the 76 Series wagon, 78 Series Troop Carrier and 79 Series single-cab and double-cab chassis. Toyota Australia has not issued a media release about the change and has not said whether any equipment changes come with it.

Drive-away prices will be higher once registration, stamp duty, CTP insurance and dealer delivery are added, and they vary by state. Toyota's official LandCruiser 70 price page lets you check the drive-away estimate for your postcode.
Manual orders remain paused
The new prices matter most for buyers who can actually place an order. Toyota's price page still says order-taking for manual LandCruiser 70 variants is temporarily paused because of strong global demand, and warns that this may mean a different specification or price at delivery or when orders reopen.
The same page notes that vehicles built from September 2026 onwards may have updated specifications. If you have an order in the system, ask your dealer in writing which price and specification apply to your build slot. Our report on Toyota Australia wait times covers how long LandCruiser buyers are currently waiting.
Emissions rules are part of the pricing pressure
Toyota Australia has recently warned that tougher targets under the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) could add cost pressure to light commercial vehicles. The headline Type 2 limit for utes, vans and heavy off-road vehicles drops from 180g/km this year to 150g/km in 2027, according to the NVES Regulator.
The LandCruiser 70 uses a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel making 150kW, with 500Nm in automatic models and 450Nm in manuals. That makes it one of the vehicles most exposed to the tightening targets. Toyota has not said the November rise was caused by NVES, so treat the link as context rather than a confirmed reason. Our explainer on whether utes and 4WDs will cost more under NVES shows how the penalty works per vehicle.
What the rise means for buyers
- Entry price. The cheapest way into a LandCruiser 70 is now the $76,900 WorkMate wagon automatic.
- Cab-chassis buyers. The cheapest 79 Series is the single-cab WorkMate automatic at $78,100, before a tray is fitted.
- Top of the range. The 79 Series GXL double-cab automatic is now $84,800, close to the price of some well-equipped dual-cab utes after accessories.
- Existing orders. Whether a pending order is repriced depends on your contract and Toyota's policy for your build. Check before delivery.
The LandCruiser 70 is not the only Toyota to move this year. Corolla hatch prices rose by up to $1,000 in October, and the Corolla Ascent Sport Hybrid is listed $350 higher this month. For buyers who need a heavy-duty, solid-axle 4WD, though, there are few direct alternatives, which helps the 70 Series hold its value even as list prices climb.
