Media & Connectivity – Advanced Functionality
The Hybrid introduces Toyota’s newest multimedia and connectivity system:
- Wireless smartphone integration.
- Cloud-based navigation with real-time updates.
- A Drive Recorder for added safety.
- Over-the-air software updates, ensuring your system is always current.
The vehicle is also equipped with Toyota Safety Sense™ 4.0, adding lane tracing assist, pre-collision system, and adaptive radar cruise control.
Performance – Hybrid Power, Reinvented
The beating heart of the LC300 Hybrid is its 3.5L V6 twin-turbo petrol engine, paired with a parallel hybrid system.
- Power Output: 457 horsepower.
- Torque: 790 Nm.
- Transmission: 10-speed automatic with advanced 4×4 drivetrain.
- Steering: Electric Power Steering (EPS) for precision and comfort.
Unlike traditional hybrids, this system is tuned for extreme off-road conditions. Toyota engineered the battery pack to be waterproof, ensuring reliability during river crossings. And if the hybrid system ever malfunctions, the petrol engine can run independently — ensuring you’re never stranded.

The Land Cruiser Hybrid takes safety seriously, combining mechanical reliability with cutting-edge driver assistance:
- Toyota Safety Sense™ 4.0.
- Multiple airbags (front, side, curtain, driver knee).
