2011 Toyota LandCruiser Altitude on sale in Australia

The Toyota LandCruiser Altitude is based on the GXL model, and scores a number of extra features on top of the entry-level 200 Series model: 18-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights, touchscreen satellite navigation, leather-accented interior, power front seats, premium steering wheel audio controls, premium gear shift knob and a cool box.

Toyota Australia says production numbers of the Altitude model are limited, with Toyota Japan only building them in June, September, October and November.

The LandCruiser Altitude will be available with both engine options: the 202kW/410Nm 4.7-litre V8 petrol and the 195kW/650Nm 4.5-litre V8 diesel.

Prices for the petrol Altitude start from $80,190 before on-roads, making it just $2800 more than the entry-level GXL and more than $7000 less than the mid-spec VX model.
