Up until now, Toyota Australia has only confirmed the new 300 series will be in Australia by quarter four of this year.

The biggest headline from the new 300 series is that the twin-turbo 1VD-FTE V8 diesel from the outgoing 200 series will be replaced by the more powerful F33A-FTV 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 diesel engine, which develops 227kW and 700Nm.

Toyota Australia confirmed at the start of this month the 300 series will be offered in six different trim levels, with pricing starting at $89,990 for the GX, moving through to the range-topping Sahara ZX on offer from $138,790 and the hotly anticipated GR Sport version costing upwards of $137,790.
