How much is a Land Cruiser in Ireland?

Pricing is the first thing Irish buyers check, and the numbers vary depending on whether you’re looking at new, used, or commercial variants. The official starting point from Toyota Ireland (official pricing page) puts the new Land Cruiser at €59,950 — but that’s before options and dealer fees. The Complete Car (Irish motoring magazine) review notes that the passenger version can climb to €140,830 for higher trims, while the Commercial (VAT-qualifying) variant is listed at €69,990 including VAT.

Second-hand listings on DoneDeal and Carzone show used Land Cruisers ranging from roughly €49,450 for older 200-series models to over €80,000 for low-mileage 2024 examples. Prices vary heavily by age, condition, and mileage.

Is a Toyota Land Cruiser a good buy?

Irish buyers consistently rank the Land Cruiser among the most reliable 4x4s on the market, but no vehicle is perfect. The key is separating reputation from real-world ownership experience.

Which car is best in Ireland to buy?

• Land Cruiser is known for exceptional off-road capability and long-term reliability (Complete Car – reliability assessment)
• Common problems reported: rust on older models, electrical issues with infotainment, and DPF problems on diesel versions
• It competes strongly with other large SUVs in the Irish market for durability
• Irish buyers often rate it highly for towing and rural driving

What is a common problem of a Land Cruiser?

Ownership forums and dealer feedback highlight three recurring issues specific to Irish conditions. Rust on older models, particularly the chassis and wheel arches, is the most cited concern. Electrical glitches in the infotainment system have been reported in the 250-series, and diesel particulate filter (DPF) blockages occur on models used for short, stop-start journeys — common in urban Irish driving.

Which is better, a Hilux or a Land Cruiser?

This is one of the most common comparisons Irish buyers make, but it’s not a direct matchup — the two vehicles serve fundamentally different roles. The Complete Car (Irish motoring review) clarifies the distinction.

The table below shows how the Land Cruiser stacks up against its main competitors across key buying criteria.

What is better, Land Cruiser or Range Rover?

Land Rover Ireland (official pricing page) lists Range Rover PHEV models starting at €149,140. The Land Cruiser starts at roughly half that. On-road comfort and luxury go to the Range Rover; off-road toughness and long-term reliability go to the Land Cruiser.

Which one is better, Land Cruiser or Lexus?

The Lexus LX 570 shares the same platform and engine as the Land Cruiser 200-series, according to Complete Car (Irish motoring analysis). The Land Cruiser is preferred for extreme off-road work due to better approach angles and simpler trim; the Lexus adds luxury, sound insulation, and a higher price tag.

Why is Toyota not selling the Land Cruiser?

You may have heard that Toyota stopped selling the Land Cruiser in some markets. That’s true for the United States, but not for Ireland. The 300-series Land Cruiser (and the 250-series with hybrid powertrain) remains on sale in Europe, including Ireland, as of 2025.

Complete Car (Irish motoring press) confirms that the order book opened in Ireland in October 2024, with first deliveries in 2025. The US discontinuation was driven by slow sales and stricter emissions rules. In Ireland, the 2.8L diesel hybrid powertrain meets current CO2 targets, keeping it on sale here.

The implication: Rumors of discontinuation are market-specific. Irish buyers can still order a new Land Cruiser — but the clock may be ticking as EU emissions regulations tighten. The hybrid powertrain is Toyota’s answer, but a full-electric Land Cruiser has not been confirmed.

Is the Lexus 570 the same as the Land Cruiser?

Mechanically, yes — but the experience differs. The Complete Car (Irish motoring analysis) confirms that the Lexus LX 570 shares its platform, 5.7L V8 engine, and full-time 4WD with the Land Cruiser 200-series. The differences are in interior trim, sound deadening, and pricing.

Which one is better, Land Cruiser or Lexus?

• Land Cruiser: better approach angles, simpler cabin, lower price, preferred for extreme off-road use
• Lexus LX 570: more premium interior, superior sound insulation, higher price tag, heavier curb weight
• Both share the same underpinnings and off-road capability

The trade-off: Irish buyers who need genuine off-road capability should stick with the Land Cruiser — it’s lighter, simpler, and cheaper. Those who want the same toughness with a luxury badge and a quieter cabin should look at the Lexus LX. The platform is identical, but the price difference can exceed €30,000.

“The new Land Cruiser combines legendary off-road capability with a 48V hybrid powertrain for improved efficiency.”

Toyota Ireland official press release

“Commonly praised for reliability, but some owners mention rust on older models.”

Frequently asked questions

For Irish buyers weighing the decision, the picture is clearer now. The Land Cruiser delivers unmatched off-road durability and towing capacity at a lower entry price than its closest rivals. The Range Rover offers superior on-road luxury but costs more than double. The Hilux remains the workhorse choice for those who don’t need passenger space. The Lexus LX shares the Land Cruiser’s bones but adds a luxury tax. For the farmer, the horse owner, or the rural Irish driver who actually goes off-road, the Land Cruiser is still the benchmark — and the Commercial variant makes it the smartest buy for business users. For anyone who spends most of their time on Irish motorways, the premium for a Range Rover or Lexus may be worth the comfort.
