The new Land Cruiser was unveiled in Pakistan by Toyota Indus Motor Company (IMC) at a staggering price of Rs72.50 million. The SUV is a one-of-a-kind vehicle in Pakistan, with pricing comparable to some of the most expensive German SUVs.
Due to the depreciating Pakistani rupee, overall inflation and rising transportation costs, the Land Cruiser, like other locally built vehicles in Pakistan, has undergone a price hike of Rs7.5 million. The luxury SUV from Toyota is now available for Rs79,999,000.
The Japanese automaker offers only one version of LC300 in Pakistan. It has a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine with 409 horsepower (hp) and 650 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque that is sent to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Considering its outrageous cost, the Land Cruiser 300 is clearly out of reach for the vast majority of Pakistanis. It is, however, a wonderful addition for aristocrats who have a garage with six to ten cars.
