How much do 2024 Land Cruisers cost?
Irish pricing for the 2024 Land Cruiser splits clearly into two tiers: commercial and passenger. The official Toyota Ireland site lists the Land Cruiser starting from €63,319 ex VAT, with the mild hybrid 2.8L diesel model at €77,135 ex VAT. Those figures represent the starting point for anyone configuring a new commercial variant directly from the manufacturer.
On the used market, commercial models dominate the listings. A 2024 Land Cruiser LWB Commercial Auto at Toyota Sandyford carries an ex-VAT price of €46,703, while Toyota Long Mile lists a 2024 example with leather and 48,435 miles at €47,950 ex VAT. On Carzone, an identical LWB GX COMM AUTO carries a €50,365 + VAT price tag, working out to roughly €61,950 including VAT.
Passenger-spec 2024 Land Cruisers sit in a different price bracket entirely. According to Complete Car’s review, Irish pricing for the passenger version starts at €140,830. The annual motor tax for a passenger Land Cruiser lands at €2,400 per year due to its 281 g/km CO2 emissions placing it in the highest tax band. Metallic paint adds €1,650, while pearlescent finish commands an extra €2,045.
Eight used 2024 Land Cruiser models are listed across DoneDeal at the time of writing, with prices ranging depending on specification and mileage. The commercial variants generally fall between €46,000 and €62,000 depending on whether prices are shown ex-VAT or inc-VAT.
Pricing in Ireland
- New commercial (ex VAT): from €63,319 on Toyota.ie
- New mild hybrid 2.8D (ex VAT): from €77,135 on Toyota.ie
- New passenger (inc VAT): from €140,830 per Complete Car
- New commercial N1 expected (inc VAT): from €69,990 per Complete Car
- Used commercial ex VAT: €46,703–€47,950 at authorised dealers
- Used commercial inc VAT: €50,365+ VAT–€61,950 on Carzone
- Motor tax (passenger): €2,400 annually
For buyers in the Republic of Ireland who need a capable workhorse without the premium, the used commercial market at €46,000–€62,000 ex/inc VAT represents the most realistic entry point. The passenger model pricing puts it firmly in the luxury bracket, with a €2,400 annual motor tax bill that compounds over ownership.
Configurations and trims
The 2024 Land Cruiser range in Ireland centres on the 2.8-litre diesel engine with mild hybrid assistance, paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and permanent 4WD. Most units on the used market are long-wheelbase (LWB) variants, typically finished as GX Commercial Auto or similar trim levels.
Standard equipment on the current model includes a 9-inch multimedia display, blind spot monitoring, and the full suite of Toyota Safety Sense features. The commercial N1 classification means these vehicles qualify for commercial vehicle tax treatment, which affects both the purchase price and ongoing running costs.
Toyota Ireland offers a 100,000 km or 3-year warranty as standard, extendable to 10 years or 185,000 km through the Toyota Relax programme with regular servicing at an authorised centre.
The commercial versus passenger distinction isn’t just about tax—it’s about access. Commercial variants can be purchased VAT-free by businesses, bringing the real cost down by 23% before any other negotiation. Private buyers face the full passenger price with VAT built in.
What are the common problems with Land Cruisers?
The Toyota Land Cruiser has built its reputation on durability, but no vehicle is without fault. Across the 300 Series platform that underpins the 2024 model, several recurring issues appear in owner forums and service records.
The 2.8-litre diesel engine, while generally reliable, has shown a tendency toward chain tensioner wear in higher-mileage examples—a fault that can lead to timing chain noise if missed. The diesel particulate filter (DPF) also requires attention on cars that frequently make short journeys, as regeneration cycles may not complete fully.
Automatic transmission behaviour in earlier Land Cruiser generations drew complaints of hesitation during low-speed manoeuvres, though the 8-speed unit in the current model has performed better in service. Electrical systems, particularly the infotainment unit and parking sensors, account for a proportion of dealer warranty claims on used examples.
Most common faults
- Chain tensioner wear (2.8 D-4D): audible noise at higher mileages; preventable with timely servicing
- DPF issues: more common on short-run usage; regeneration failure triggers warning lights
- Transmission hesitation: earlier autos showed hesitation; 8-speed unit more refined
- Electrical glitches: infotainment freezes and sensor malfunctions reported on pre-facelift models
- Air suspension (where fitted): compressor failures on higher-spec trim levels
- Corrosion on older models: frame rust on pre-2010 examples; less relevant to 2024 buyers
Which is better Prado or Land Cruiser 300?
The Prado and the Land Cruiser 300 share their DNA but serve different priorities. The Prado 250, sold alongside the Land Cruiser in some markets, positions itself as the more road-focused alternative, while the Land Cruiser 300 doubles down on its off-road credentials with a ladder-frame chassis and genuinely capable four-wheel-drive system.
In Ireland, the practical difference comes down to availability and pricing. The Land Cruiser 300 in 2024 spec is available as both commercial and passenger variants, with the commercial N1 model expected to start around €69,990 inc VAT. The Prado doesn’t enjoy the same commercial classification options, making the Land Cruiser the more flexible choice for Irish buyers who need to manage costs.
Both share the 2.8-litre diesel mild hybrid engine and 8-speed automatic, but the Land Cruiser’s longer wheelbase options and higher payload ratings give it an edge for anyone planning to use the vehicle for work as well as leisure. Toyota Ireland describes the Land Cruiser as “built rugged, with the all-terrain capability” that distinguishes it from softer crossovers.
Prado 250 vs LandCruiser 300
Three factors separate these siblings in the Irish market:
- Tax classification: Land Cruiser commercial variants qualify for N1 treatment; Prado does not
- Availability: Land Cruiser 300 has stronger dealer support and used market depth in Ireland
- Pricing: Land Cruiser commercial at €46,000–€63,000 ex VAT versus Prado at a premium in most configurations
Key differences
The Prado leans toward on-road refinement and a slightly lower price entry point in some markets, but for Irish buyers the Land Cruiser 300’s commercial variants and dealer network support make it the more practical choice. The 281 g/km CO2 figure applies to both engines, but the Land Cruiser’s broader model range gives buyers more configuration flexibility.
Neither model qualifies for the lower motor tax bands. Both fall into the highest band at €2,400 annually for passenger variants, a cost that shouldn’t be overlooked when calculating annual running expenses.
What Land Cruiser years to avoid?
Not every Land Cruiser generation has aged equally well. If you’re browsing the used market for a 2024 model, the concern shifts to whether earlier model years represent better or worse value. Older Land Cruiser generations from the 200 Series and earlier had well-documented frame rust issues in certain climates, and air suspension reliability on high-spec models from 2007–2013 drew consistent complaints.
For the current 300 Series that underpins the 2024 model, the platform has proven more reliable than its predecessors. The move to the 2.8-litre diesel also addressed some of the head gasket concerns that affected the earlier 4.5-litre V8 engines in select markets.
Problematic model years
- 200–2007 (100/120 Series): Frame corrosion; electrical module failures common
- 2007–2013 (150/200 Series): Air suspension compressor failures; occasional head gasket weeping on V8
- 2015–2017 (200 Series): DPF regen issues on diesel; software-related transmission hesitation
- 2018–2020 (300 Series early): Catalytic converter failures reported; software updates resolved most cases
The 2024 model you’re looking at benefits from Toyota’s engineering refinements across the 300 Series lifecycle. With verified service history and no outstanding recall notices, a 2024 Land Cruiser represents the most reliable iteration of this generation. The 100,000 km warranty from Toyota Ireland provides additional peace of mind, and the Toyota Relax programme can extend coverage to 10 years with documented servicing.
When inspecting a used 2024 Land Cruiser, check whether the DPF warning light has activated previously—this suggests frequent short-run usage that could mean costly maintenance ahead. Ask the seller for any service records that show a mix of motorway and urban journeys, which allows proper DPF regeneration.
Which is better, Land Cruiser or BMW?
The BMW XM presents the starkest contrast to the Land Cruiser philosophy. Where Toyota has engineered a vehicle built for decades of service across every terrain, BMW’s XM prioritises on-road performance, interior luxury, and badge prestige. The comparison matters for Irish buyers because the price brackets overlap—particularly in the used market.
A used 2024 Land Cruiser 2.8 diesel commercial sits between €46,000 and €62,000 depending on specification. A comparable-age BMW XM starts well above that, with typical used examples demanding €80,000 and upward. The running cost gap widens further when you factor in BMW’s higher maintenance expenses, more complex hybrid systems, and insurance premiums that reflect the XM’s performance credentials.
Toyota describes the Land Cruiser’s core appeal as “built rugged, with the all-terrain capability,” and that framing captures where the trade-offs lie. The XM will eat motorway miles with far more composure. The Land Cruiser will outlast it—literally.
Land Cruiser 300 vs BMW XM
The comparison table below highlights how these two vehicles serve fundamentally different buyers in the Irish market:
| Factor | Toyota Land Cruiser 300 | BMW XM |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price (new, Ireland) | €63,319 ex VAT (commercial) | Significantly higher; XM from €155,000+ |
| Engine | 2.8L diesel mild hybrid | 4.4L twin-turbo M Hybrid |
| Primary mission | Off-road capability, longevity | On-road performance, luxury |
| Annual motor tax | €2,400 (passenger) | €2,400 (Band A for hybrid) |
| Resale values | Strong; commercial models hold well | Early depreciation on performance luxury |
| Service network (Ireland) | Extensive Toyota dealer coverage | BMW specialist required |
The implication for Irish buyers is straightforward: if your priority is capability, longevity, and lower total cost of ownership, the Land Cruiser wins on every measurable dimension. If badge appeal, on-road refinement, and performance thrill matter more, the XM delivers—but at a price premium that extends well beyond the purchase price.
A Land Cruiser 300 in commercial spec is roughly half the price of a comparable BMW XM, with lower depreciation and a service network that reaches into every county in Ireland.
Upsides
- Commercial variants from €46,703 ex VAT offer genuine value
- Toyota’s warranty and Relax programme provide long-term security
- Extensive dealer and independent specialist network across Ireland
- Proven off-road capability with permanent 4WD and low-range gearing
- Strong resale values for commercial models
Downsides
- Passenger variants cost €140,830+, placing them in the luxury bracket
- €2,400 annual motor tax applies to passenger versions
- DPF maintenance requires attention on short-run usage
- No performance match against BMW XM on road surfaces
- Limited new 2024 stock availability; mostly used market
The Land Cruiser makes its case through durability and total cost of ownership, not through luxury features or driving dynamics. Buyers who need a vehicle that will still be running reliably in fifteen years with basic maintenance should find the 2024 Land Cruiser commercial a compelling proposition. Those who prioritise refinement and on-road performance will find the pricing gap justified.
