Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series orders paused... AGAIN
Singular wagon variant is temporarily unavailable as global production hault loomsToyota Australia has paused orders of its popular LandCruiser 70 Series, however unlike the stop sale announced for the V8 versions back in 2022, this time just one variant is affected.
Order books temporarily closed yesterday (July 17) for the range-topping 2025 Toyota LandCruiser 76 Series GXL Wagon automatic as the Japanese car-maker grapples with “strong customer demand and relatively low production levels”.
In a move eerily similar to when V8 order books closed – never to reopen – there’s no firm timing as to when the current pause is expected to end.
A spokesperson for Toyota Australia told carsales the company was “reviewing the order bank consistently to try and get them open again as soon as possible”.
It’s unlikely to be any time soon however seeing as production of the entire 70 Series portfolio will halt for the best part of eight months in September while Toyota upgrades the popular 4x4 to be Euro 6-compliant – AdBlue will likely be added to the recipe as per the LandCruiser Prado which shares the same basic 150kW/500Nm mild hybrid powertrain.
According to the spokesperson however, the production halt won’t have any major impacts on the availability of 70 Series – besides the GXL Wagon auto – since Toyota Australia has “ordered additional supply” so it can “continue to meet demand and cover the production pause”.
We’ll know more closer to September but until then, all other 70 Series variants remain available to order with estimated wait times of up to four months depending on the configuration and dealer stock.
