Standard features vary across the LC300 range and the Sahara's includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen (with sat nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), a wireless phone charger, four-zone climate control, heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated power-adjustable front seats (with three-position driver’s seat memory), leather-accented trim, head-up display, heated steering wheel, heated second-row seats (outboard), and power-folding third-row seats.

It also has a cooled centre console storage, a 14-speaker JBL premium audio system, dual-screen rear entertainment system, and leather-accented seat upholstery.

The LandCruiser 300 Series is available as a five- or seven-seater.

Seats are fabric in lower grades and leather-accented in high grades.

Driver and front-passenger seats are either manually- or power-adjustable, depending on the variant.

The third-row seats in the seven-seat Cruisers have improved over previous generations but they are still realistically better suited to smaller people, i.e. children or your vertically-challenged mates.

Every Toyota LandCruiser 300 has a 3.3-litre V6 twin-turbo diesel engine producing 227kW at 4000rpm and 700Nm from 1600 to 2600rpm. It has a 10-speed automatic transmission, high- and low-range 4WD as well as a centre diff lock.

No matter the variant, 300 Series LandCruisers have a familiar feel about them – due to their practicality and functionality.

Across the LandCruiser 300 Series range, the interiors are very easy to become comfortable in.

In the higher grades, if you're the driver – congratulations! – you get a heated and power-adjustable steering wheel and a ventilated and heated, power-adjustable seat (with three-position driver’s seat memory).

The front passenger gets a ventilated and heated, power-adjustable seat.

Higher grades, such as the Sahara, get a 12.3-inch colour multimedia touchscreen which is a main feature in the cabin with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and there’s a wireless charging pad near the shifter. There are USB and USB-C charging points as well.

There’s a cool box/chilly bin in the centre console and its lid can be opened from either side, so driver or passenger can access chilled drinks.

Beyond those features, there are the usual storage spaces, cup holders, receptacles in the doors for bigger bottles, and other spaces for your bits and pieces.

The second row seats are in a 40/20/40 folding configuration, and the third row is a power-folding arrangement that stows away forwards and flat.

Cargo space varies depending on the variant, but the Sahara’s rear-most luggage area, when all seven seats are in use, is a listed 175 litres (VDA) behind the third row. That expands to 1004 litres when the second and third row are stowed away.

The rear cargo area has a 220V/100W inverter and four tie-down points.

The Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series is capable of doing the 0-100km/h sprint in about 8.0 seconds. Expect a top speed of around 210km/h.

Official fuel consumption is 8.9L/100km on a combined cycle. We've recorded fuel consumption on test, from pump to pump, of 12.8L/100km. Every 300 Series has an 80-litre main fuel tank and a 30L sub-tank so, going by those fuel figures above, you could reasonably expect a driving range of about 860km from a fully-fuelled start.
