I think there are already a few in the country... I saw the first one sometime in Oct last year on NH1 (screen grab from dashcam below).

The one that's being talked about a few post above is with Chautalas in Haryana, already pressed into political duties with Abhay Singh.

Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 spotted in India ahead of launch

One of the first Toyota Land Cruiser LC300s has been spotted in India. Reports suggest that the SUV could be launched in the month of August.

The Land Cruiser seen in these images appears to be a brand-new car. It is unclear if this particular SUV is one of the first units imported for sale in India. It could even be a private import or could be here on Carnet.

The Land Cruiser 300 series was unveiled in June last year. The SUV is based on Toyota's TNGA-F platform.

Toyota offers the SUV with two engine options: 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine producing 409 BHP and 650 Nm and a 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 diesel engine churning out 304.5 BHP and 700 Nm. Both engines come paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Doesn't it have a waiting period of around 4 years globally ? What's the use of launching the LC300 in India then!

A few units will be allotted to India, and by hearsay, these units are already sold out. If a common man wants an LC300, he/she probably needs to wait for 4 years. Not sure if common man drives an LC though.

Guess it is market dependent. There is a huge waiting period in Japan, but in the GCC markets it is available off the shelf.

Well, Toyota just needs to have atleast a couple of Land Cruisers in every decent sized city. And celebrities/ politicians to boot. They just want that brand presence before the Urban Cruiser Hyrdyer starts delivery.

This is the second one in the country. A black car was privately imported by a Haryana politician a couple months back. Apart from that, there have been a few carnet imports and a body-shop in Kerala is already pasting LC300 facelift kits on LC200s

Do you really believe Toyota will get a Diesel on LC when they are considering pulling Diesel from Fortuner/ Innova?

Best case, Toyota gets some units for the Dealer principal as everyone wants but given the number of dealers and the allocations this may create even more problems. They will have to make a waitlist or give it to the highest performing dealers first If that happens, it's almost a given that it will be Petrol only.

And which variant will that be? I know about a VIP seat package, a 4-seater, which that salesperson may not be aware, does not pass the requirements due to weight for private registration; it's off by some (60-70 Kg if I recollect).

This is one of the reasons why LX is not here yet. The last I heard, they were trying to find a way out but won't have an update. I haven't researched on this with exact requirements but heard from a competent person.

Diesel Innova will be relaunched and the next gen Fortuner will also have a diesel.

That's interesting to hear and contrary to some other things discussed. OT for this thread, but do post more about this whenever you have something more.. Can this stoppage purely temporarily due to Emission norms and difficulty in implementing immediately?

No, my query was regarding the five-seater variant that has extra space for rear passengers, I could not find anything in their global lineup, so was curious if it's something specific for our market.

Most large Dealers have been allotted a few cars & some small dealers in Gujarat have been allotted 1 single car. Also the variant being a 5 Seater Diesel is confirmed. Some undertakings will be taken from the customer that they cannot export the car or sell the car etc.

Hehe, with one politician taking delivery of the new LC300 in the northwest and another in the southeast even before the official launch, I assume Toyota Bharath is flooded with calls from political bigwigs. I also assume they are as shrewd as the Indian politicos and will play their cards well. A virtual political alliance, the Toyota Aadmi Party (TAP)? The most-influential and well-connected Videsi company in India?

Who knows, there might be a Land Cruiser Challenge going on among young Chotta Netas in our country. Somehow raise 10L and book the LC300. Try to be a Bada Neta by the time of delivery, in 2 years. Do you accept ?

Career goals.
