The vehicle is rated to deliver 457-horsepower and 583lb-ft of torque through a parallel hybrid setup, while the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine is paired with a single electric motor and a 10-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is thus rated to deliver instant torque at low RPMs to work well when navigating difficult terrain or carrying heavier loads. The 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid 300 will launch first into the Middle Eastern markets before heading to Australia in the first half of 2026. The brand has yet to announce whether the model will be launched in the US market.
