The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 has been launched in India, a little more than a month after the Japanese manufacturer delisted the SUV from its website. The LC 300 is now priced between Rs 2.31 crore and Rs 2.41 crore, as, for the first time, there’s the more off-road-focused GR-S variant that can be opted for. Bookings for both variants – ZX and GR-S – have opened today.

2025 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 price and rivals
-
Priced Rs 21 lakh more than pre-update model
-
No direct rivals
The 2025 Land Cruiser 300 costs Rs 21 lakh more than the outgoing model, which can be explained by the updates to the features list, along with more safety equipment. Factoring in its prices, size and powertrain, the LC 300 doesn’t have any direct rivals in India, though the likes of the Range Rover (Rs 2.4 crore-4.4 crore) and Mercedes-AMG G 63 (Rs 3.6 crore) offer a similar proposition – luxury off-roading for five passengers.

Other additions include a leatherette finish for the gear knob.
In addition to the features in the ZX variant, the Land Cruiser 300 GR-S gets a powered tailgate, front and rear differential locks and a limited-slip differential at the rear.
