Visually, the Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid gets subtle changes over the pure-petrol model. This includes a slightly larger air intake at the front with a different bumper, and new HEV badges on the exterior to denote its hybrid powertrain. The LC 300 Hybrid is also available in the GR Sport guise in Australia, which comes with a bolder grille with the larger 'Toyota' branding, which remains unchanged visually.
Inside, the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid continues with the same set of features as the standard model. The digital instrument console does get new graphics and hybrid-specific readings, while the infotainment system is a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen unit. The LC 300 Hybrid also gets a new 1,500-watt power outlet in the boot space.
Toyota Land Cruiser 300 In India
The new Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid will go on sale in Australia soon, and will make it to other markets as well. It'll be interesting to see if the hybrid version makes it to the Indian market, and will particularly work well for markets like Delhi-NCR, where regulations restrict the vehicle life of a diesel to 10 years. The Land Cruiser 300 on sale in India is currently priced at ₹2.31 crore for the ZX and ₹2.41 crore for the GR Sport variants. All prices are ex-showroom.

Toyota to raise US auto prices by average $270 from July
Japanese carmaker Toyota Motor said on Saturday it will raise prices for some vehicles sold in the United States by an average of $270 starting in July. The automaker's decision follows US President Donald Trump's imposition of a 25% tariff on imported vehicles and auto parts. A Toyota spokesperson, however, denied the tariff directly influenced the price increase. "The latest price hike is part of our regular review of the prices," Nobu Sunaga, a Toyota spokesperson, said. Prices for Lexus models, Toyota's luxury brand, would also increase by an average of $208, he said.
