Toyota Land Cruiser 70 looks ominous in matte black
Recently unveiled as a continuation to the iconic nameplate, Toyota’s Land Cruiser 70 has already received some off-roading gear and matte paintwork as a demonstration of the modification possibilities.
Less than a month after the release of the facelifted 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 70 in Japan, a one-off variant of this iconic off-roader is set to be showcased at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January. Crafted by Toyota Auto Body, a subsidiary of the automaker, this special model boasts a distinctive matte black paint job and various off-road enhancements.

Notable modifications include the addition of a snorkel for improved water fording capabilities, a redesigned front bumper supporting a winch, and chrome-finished wing mirrors, though the latter might be more suited for display than serious off-roading. The vehicle is further equipped with a substantial roof rack, clear lenses on the front turn signals, black wheels with a chrome barrel, and rugged off-road tires.

Interestingly, Toyota had discontinued the Land Cruiser 70 in the Japanese market in 2015 due to safety regulations but reintroduced it with the facelift, featuring a new 2,8-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine generating 150 kW and 500 N.m of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The one-off model will be presented alongside a J40 Land Cruiser at the Tokyo Auto Salon.
