Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Hybrid Launches in Select Eastern European Markets From January 2026

A twin-turbo V6 with electric assist lifts output to roughly 457 hp, making it the most powerful Land Cruiser yet.

Overview

  • Toyota confirms sales begin in selected Eastern European countries this month, with specific markets and regional pricing still undisclosed.
  • The hybrid delivers about 457 hp and 790 Nm, which Toyota says enables up to 40% stronger acceleration versus the ICE-only 3.3-liter model.
  • The setup places a single electric motor between the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 and a 10-speed automatic, with a nickel‑metal hydride battery enabling low-speed EV driving up to 30 km/h.
  • Off-road capability is preserved with a sealed battery case for a 700 mm wading depth, full-time 4WD, low-range gearing, electric power steering, and systems like Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and Downhill Assist.
  • In Europe it comes only as a five-seater in VX, ZX, and GR Sport grades; ZX adds Adaptive Variable Suspension and a rear LSD, GR Sport features e‑KDSS, Australia is slated for H1 2026, and UAE pricing starts at AED 389,900 ($106,200).
