How many Toyota Land Cruiser models are there?

Three active Land Cruiser model lines are widely available today: LC300, Land Cruiser Prado, and the 70 Series. Exact counts can vary by region due to market-specific branding and the presence of legacy stock.


Current lineup and what counts as a model


Toyota groups the Land Cruiser family into distinct model lines rather than a single model with many trims. The three active models define the core global lineup, with regional variations in availability and branding.


Active Land Cruiser models


Before listing, a note on scope: the global market centers on three separate models. The following descriptions summarize each model, their size class, and typical markets.




  • Land Cruiser LC300

    The current flagship full-size SUV, introduced to replace the LC200 in 2022 for the 2023 model year. It offers modern technology and is sold broadly, with some markets receiving hybrid powertrains.




  • Land Cruiser Prado

    A mid-size model in the Land Cruiser family; marketed as Land Cruiser Prado in many regions. It sits below the LC300 in size and luxury but remains a key global offering with a long-running lineage.




  • Land Cruiser 70 Series

    A rugged, utilitarian line intended for off-road and workhorse duty. Variants include wagon and cab/chassis configurations; it is produced and marketed primarily in markets with strong demand for durable, no-frills capability.




Note: Depending on the region, Prado may be marketed under a distinct badge, and some markets still offer legacy stock or discontinued variants for a time after the LC300 launch. The three models above represent the core active lineup globally as of 2024–2025.


Legacy/retired Land Cruiser models


Beyond the current trio, Toyota has produced earlier Land Cruiser generations that are largely retired from full-scale production, though they may appear in used-car markets or limited regional offerings.




  • Toyota Land Cruiser 200 (LC200)

    The predecessor to the LC300, produced roughly 2007–2021 in most regions. It has largely been replaced by the newer LC300 in global markets, though some local markets may still offer stock.




As markets evolve, Toyota may adjust the lineup, add new variants, or retire models earlier or later than others. The three-model active lineup is the standard reference point today.


Regional variations


Availability and naming conventions differ by region. In some countries, dealers emphasize the Land Cruiser name for the LC300 and separate "Prado" badge, while others market Prado as a distinct model within the Land Cruiser family. The 70 Series remains the core of off-road-focused fleets in many developing markets.


What this means for buyers


For a prospective buyer, the practical differences are size, luxury level, and intended use. LC300 targets full-size SUV needs with modern tech; Prado offers a mid-size balance; 70 Series emphasizes durability and off-road capability for work or extreme terrain. Always confirm regional availability and current trims with local Toyota dealers.


Summary: Toyota currently maintains three active Land Cruiser model lines globally—LC300, Land Cruiser Prado, and the 70 Series—with older generations like the LC200 largely retired. Regional variations can change what is available to buyers.
