Indian Launch

The next generation Land Cruiser is expected to go on sale in international markets towards the end of 2021 or early 2022. It is also believed that Toyota would want to bring the model to Indian shores as well. However, due to low demand, Toyota will bring the model as a CBU (Completely Built Unit) which would mean that the pricing could reach around the INR 2 crore mark (ex-showroom).
