Toyota Land Cruiser 70th Anniversary Edition in SA
Toyota Land Cruiser 70th Anniversary Edition in SA-July 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:27

Toyota is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the formidable Land Cruiser with the introduction of a special Land Cruiser 70th Anniversary Edition which is now available in South Africa. See specification and pricing details below…

Over the course of 70 years, the Toyota Land Cruiser has earned the reputation of being one of the hardiest offroaders on earth. Rewind to 1951, the year the military-use and super-capable Toyota BJ came to life. The BJ was in 1954 called the Land Cruiser and sold to the public and the rest is history.

While we ogle at the marvel that is the new Land Cruiser LC300, Toyota is honouring the heritage of the Land Cruiser with the market introduction of a special 79-series Anniversary Edition that’s now available in either single or double-cab guise.

What’s on offer?

Land Cruiser 70th Anniversary Edition

The Land Cruiser’s go-anywhere ability has made it hugely successful over the course of 70 years.

The Toyota Land Cruiser 70th Anniversary Edition includes features that boost not only its utility but also its appearance.

The model is easily recognised with 70-year emblems seen on the bodywork as well on the cotton cloth seat covers. The familiar Toyota roundel has also been replaced with Toyota lettering and badges on the doors are familiar from the iconic Land Cruiser 40-series.

As far as practical additions go, the model gains a heavy-duty front steel bumper with an integrated winch, because you never know when you might need to rescue a Land Rover! A towbar is also fitted. The load bed is also protected with 3mm rubber lining.

Buyers can choose between Ivory White and Sand Beige body colours.

The Land Cruiser 70th Anniversary Edition is powered by a 4.5-litre V8 turbodiesel engine with 151 kW and 430 Nm and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

How much does the Toyota Land Cruiser 70th Anniversary Edition cost?

Land Cruiser 79 S/C 4.5 Diesel V8 70th Edition – R889 700

Land Cruiser 79 D/C 4.5 Diesel V8 70th Edition – R943 100

Pricing includes a 3-year/100 00km warranty and customers are able to purchase a service plan package of their choice at one of Toyota’s 220 dealerships nationwide.
