Four decades after its first introduction, the T 70 a real renaissance. At the Japan Mobility Show in November 2023, Toyota presented a modernized version of the iconic off-road vehicle, but equipped with modern safety systems such as Hill start and descent assistance and a stronger, more efficient engine. And for the 40th anniversary, Toyota unveiled a special and unique concept based on the Land Cruiser 70. The heart of the special land Cruiser 70 is his eye-catching matt black finish, which gives it a robust and more modern look. The visual improvements include a additional snorkel, a modified front apron with winch mount, chrome mirror caps, Roof rack and other suitable accessories.

The combination of the black wheels and the chrome-plated rim bases emphasizes the off-road character of the new edition, while the clear main headlights and indicators signal a subtle modernization. The characteristic exterior mirror mounted on the fender remains a striking feature of the land Cruiser 70. However, no major mechanical changes are to be expected under the hood. The drive will probably continue to be provided by the standard 2,8 liter turbodiesel with 204 HP, which guarantees its power over a Six-speed automatic forwarded to all four wheels. It promises reliable performance that is perfectly tailored to the needs of off-road fans.
