| ANCAP Safety Rating | 5 stars |
The Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series was Australia’s flagship large SUV from 2007 until it was phased out in 2021, replaced by the 300 Series.
Known for its combination of rugged off-road ability and spacious luxury, it came with a powerful 4.5-litre V8 turbo-diesel or a 5.7-litre petrol V8 in earlier years. The 200 Series earned a strong following for towing, comfort, and durability, making it a favourite among both trades and family buyers. Although no longer sold new, it remains popular on the used market for those needing serious capability in a full-size SUV.
Pros
- Proven V8 diesel with strong towing and touring credentials
- Comfortable and spacious interior suited to long-distance travel
- Strong resale value and wide aftermarket support
Cons
- Thirsty on fuel, especially around town
- Bulky to drive and park in urban areas
- Dated tech and safety features compared to newer rivals

Warranty
In its final year on sale, the 200 Series was covered by Toyota’s standard five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, with an additional two years of engine and driveline coverage if the vehicle was serviced according to schedule. Capped-price servicing was offered for the first 10 scheduled services (up to five years or 100,000km), with each service priced at $300 at 10,000km intervals.
Pricing
In its final year, the LandCruiser 200 Series started around $110,000 for the base GX and went up to about $160,000 for the top-spec Sahara Horizon. On the used market, well-maintained examples typically range from $50,000 for older, high-mileage models to $120,000+ for recent, low-kilometre Sahara variants, reflecting strong demand and solid resale value.
