Aesthetically, the 70th differs from the standard model in the fitting of a new grille with block lettering TOYOTA badging, a black steel front bumper with fog lamps instead of the usual chrome item, a standard rubberised loadbin and tow bar, special 16-inch alloy wheels and 70th anniversary badges.
Inside, the touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth, USB and embedded satellite navigation comes as standard, along with 70th anniversary branded floor mats, a redesigned centre console and canvas seats with 70th anniversary branded headrests. Not offered though is the faux woodgrain finish available in other markets.
