Toyota LandCruiser 300 Modellista styling pack revealed for Japan

It’s almost tradition for a new Toyota launch in Japan to be followed by a set of ‘Modellista’ body kits and accessories, and this is no different for the LandCruiser 300 Series.

Toyota has pulled the covers off a Modellista-modified LC300 during its domestic market launch, giving the large off-roader more visual attitude but no extra performance boost, reports Carscoops.

However, Australian buyers will miss out on the opportunity to glitz up their LandCruiser 300, with the aftermarket package currently off-limits Down Under – at least officially.

Instead, Toyota Australia will direct buyers towards the new GR Sport and Sahara ZX flagship grades, with the latter featuring 20-inch alloy wheels for the first time locally.

Emphasising a sportier design for the large SUV over the regular model, the Modellista kit includes new a front bumper, bulkier six-spoke 21-inch alloy wheels, wheel arch mouldings and a double-humped rear spoiler.

Other changes include an extended rear bumper with a diffuser-like design, a twin-outlet exhaust tailpipe and stainless-steel step-plate for the tailgate.

Moving inside, things are more subtle, with revised door panels, extra LED lighting and the ability to add infrared film to the windows being the only options available for the Japanese market.

Pricing for the kit stretches from ¥51,700 (AU$637) for an unpainted roof spoiler to ¥401,500 (AU$4945) for the Aero Parts Set A – with painted arches and front and rear bumpers included.
