A new addition to the range is the Land Cruiser 79 2.8 GD-6 double cab with a manual transmission. (Toyota) <\/p>\nToyota has announced a series of updates to its long-running Land Cruiser 70 Series range.<\/p>\n
All derivatives are now sold with a service plan as standard. Most models are covered for up to nine services or 90,000km, while the naturally-aspirated 4.2l inline six-cylinder diesel derivatives receive 18 services over the same distance due to shorter service intervals. The range continues to be sold with a three-year\/100,000km warranty.<\/p>\n

Toyota has also streamlined the engine line-up. The 4.5l V8 diesel engine, previously available in pick-up models, has been discontinued following the end of production last year. It is replaced by the 2.8l four-cylinder GD-6 turbodiesel engine, which produces 150kW and 500Nm when paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, or 450Nm in five-speed manual variants.<\/p>\n
In addition to the 4.2l and 2.8l diesel engines, the 70 Series is also available with a 4.0l V6 petrol engine.<\/p>\n
Finally, a new addition to the range is the Land Cruiser 79 2.8 GD-6 double cab, now offered with a manual transmission. The range remains available in three body styles \u2014 single cab, double cab and station wagon \u2014 catering for both commercial and leisure use.<\/p>\n
