Toyota Australia is set to revolutionize the LandCruiser 300 Series experience with substantial safety and technology enhancements arriving between April and June 2025. While maintaining its rugged exterior design, the 2025 Toyota LandCruiser 300 receives significant internal upgrades that align with Australian Design Rules (ADR) safety standards.
The most notable advancement across all variants includes the addition of lane-centring assist and emergency steering assist technology, previously exclusive to higher VX trim levels. These systems work in conjunction with Toyota’s new emergency driving stop system, which can autonomously guide the vehicle to safety if the driver becomes unresponsive while adaptive cruise control and lane-centring are active.
Technology Upgrades Across Trim Levels
GX and GXL Model Improvements The entry-level GX and mid-range GXL variants receive substantial technological boosts. Their instrument cluster displays have been enlarged from 4.2 inches to a fully customizable 7.0-inch digital unit, providing clearer information delivery to drivers.
Interestingly, while infotainment screens have been downsized from 9.0 to 8.0 inches on these models, the trade-off brings significant connectivity improvements including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, connected navigation services, and over-the-air update capabilities.
Premium VX and Sahara Enhancements Higher-specification models transition from 7.0-inch to expansive 12.3-inch fully digital instrument clusters, while maintaining their larger 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreens with enhanced connectivity features.
