On November 29, 2023, Toyota re-introduced the new Land Cruiser 70 in Japan for the first time in about nine years . Up until now, we have provided information on this car model on this site, but this time we will focus on its maintenance costs.

When using a car, it is important to understand the maintenance costs that come with owning a car, such as gas, taxes, and insurance premiums. If you don’t know this, you may not be able to maintain your Land Cruiser 70 and may have to let it go. Therefore, in this article, we introduce the Land Cruiser’s gasoline costs, taxes, insurance premiums, etc., using simulations. This content will be helpful for those who are considering purchasing or are already owners. If you are interested in the maintenance costs of the Land Cruiser 70, please refer to this article.

Land Cruiser 70 (Land Cruiser 70) maintenance cost/running cost

Since the Land Cruiser 70 (Land Cruiser 70) is a luxury car, it is better to have people think that the maintenance and running costs will be high.

• Vehicle tax: 50,000 yen (1 year) due to high engine displacement
• Voluntary insurance premium: Approximately 150,000 yen (1 year) due to the high price of the vehicle.
• Vehicle inspection fee: Approximately 200,000 yen (every two years) as parts for luxury cars are used.
• Parking fee: Due to the large size of the vehicle, a large parking space is required, resulting in an expensive parking fee of approximately 30,000 yen (monthly)
• Fuel costs: Due to the large displacement, fuel costs are high.　
• Consumables costs: Consumables costs are high because parts for luxury cars are used.For diesel cars, AdBlue etc.

Land Cruiser 70 (Land Cruiser 70) Vehicle tax 50,000 yen (1 year)

Applying it to the table, the 2.8L diesel engine installed in the Land Cruiser 70 has a displacement of “2.5L or more and less than 3.0L,” so the vehicle tax will be 50,000 yen.

Displacement	Automobile tax amount
660cc	10,800 yen
1,000cc or less	25,000 yen
More than 1,000cc but less than 1,500cc	30,500 yen
More than 1,500cc but less than 2,000cc	36,000 yen
More than 2,000cc but less than 2,500cc	43,500 yen
More than 2,500cc but less than 3,000cc	50,000 yen
More than 3,000cc but less than 3,500cc	57,000 yen

Voluntary insurance premium approximately 150,000 yen (1 year)

Voluntary automobile insurance is insurance that is voluntarily purchased by people who own and use automobiles to compensate for parts that are not covered by compulsory automobile liability insurance, or to protect against damages that are not covered by compulsory automobile liability insurance . The main differences between compulsory automobile liability insurance and voluntary insurance are as follows.

item	Compulsory automobile liability insurance	Voluntary insurance
Join	compulsion	Any
Coverage	Compensation for persons and property	Personal/property liability, vehicle insurance, passenger insurance, etc.
Compensation amount	minimum level	Subscriber chooses
Insurance fee	Depends on vehicle type and age	Depends on compensation details

Voluntary insurance mainly has the following three types of compensation .

• Personal liability insurance: Compensates for damages caused by the other party’s death or injury.
• Property Liability Insurance: Covers damages to the other party’s property such as vehicles and buildings.
• Vehicle insurance: Covers repair costs if your car is damaged in an accident.

You can freely combine these coverages to choose the coverage that suits you. The premium for voluntary insurance is determined by conditions such as the coverage to be purchased, the type of car, age, and accident history.

This time, you can freely combine insurance plans, and the amount varies depending on the insurance company, so I think it will cost around 150,000 yen per year, including vehicle insurance.

Compulsory automobile liability insurance 17,650 yen (2 years) compulsory at the time of vehicle inspection

When you purchase a car, you pay the insurance premium at the time of the vehicle inspection until the next vehicle inspection. The amount of automobile liability insurance premiums differs for standard cars and light cars, and a standard car costs 17,650 yen when purchasing a new car.

Ordinary car vehicle inspection Every 2 years Vehicle weight tax (weight tax) 41,000 yen (2 years)

This is a legal fee that is included in the vehicle inspection fee, so it will be listed in the vehicle inspection price. The amount of vehicle weight tax is determined by vehicle type. The vehicle weight of the Land Cruiser 70 (Land Cruiser 70) is 2,300 kg, and vehicle inspections are conducted every two years for private passenger cars and once every year for cargo vehicles.

vehicle weight	Less than 13 years after new registration
Less than 500kg	8,200 yen
1,000kg or less	16,400 yen
1,500kg or less	24,600 yen
2,000kg or less	32,800 yen
2.500kg or less	41,000 yen
3,000kg or less	49,200 yen

Vehicle inspection fee: Approximately 200,000 yen (every 2 years)

Vehicle inspection is a system to check whether a vehicle complies with the safety standards stipulated by the Road Transport Vehicle Act. All cars must be inspected three years after purchase , and every two years thereafter . I thought the vehicle inspection cost for Land Cruiser 250 would be approximately 200,000 yen.

Gasoline cost

Both Japanese models use the same 2.8L straight-4 clean diesel engine, but the transmission uses a 6-speed AT (Super-ECT).

• Fuel consumption for diesel vehicles (4WD) is calculated using WLCT mode fuel consumption: 10.1km/L (9.0km/L).

Consumables/Others

Other expenses include car wash fees and parking fees at your destination. Additionally, diesel engines require regular refilling of AdBlue to clean exhaust gas, which incurs additional costs.

Calculate costs for 1 year

The calculation is based on driving 10,000km per year. Also, since each payment is divided into one year, I have written it as approximately. Other costs and parking fees are not included in the calculations this time as some people incur them and others do not.

1 year cost	land cruiser 70 diesel car
car tax	50,000 yen
Voluntary insurance premium	Approximately 150,000 yen
Compulsory automobile liability insurance	Approximately 8,825 yen
Vehicle weight tax (weight tax)	Approximately 20,500 yen
Vehicle inspection cost	Approximately 100,000 yen
Gasoline cost	Approximately 166,667 yen
total	Approximately 495,992 yen

*This is based on the latest car information, so please let me know if there are any mistakes.

The maintenance cost for Land Cruiser 70 is likely to be around 490,000 yen if it is a diesel car . I hope this will be helpful when making a purchase.

A word from the editorial department

The Land Cruiser 70 appears as an intermediate grade of the Land Cruiser series, but its price is high at 4,800,000 yen. Furthermore, taxes due to engine displacement and weight are high, and since it is not a hybrid or EV, it cannot benefit from tax reductions. Therefore, annual maintenance costs are expected to be approximately 490,000 yen. It is important to consider these points when considering your purchase.
