How many production units will be allocated to Japan?

  • 8,000 first editions
  • Monthly sales standard: 2,250 units (including first edition)

The initial lot will be produced over a period of approximately two years, with 8,000 First Edition units and 59,000 units of other grades, for a total of 67,000 units. I think people who can purchase this first edition are really lucky.


Delivery time is expected to vary depending on how long after the product’s release you place your order, and the grade and equipment you select. Furthermore, considering that orders for the Land Cruiser 300 are currently suspended, we can imagine that delivery times will be considerably longer. Furthermore, it can be predicted that it will come later.

Should I give up if I am not selected for the lottery sale or am unable to participate?

The question is whether those who were not selected for the lottery sale this time, or those who were not able to participate in the lottery sale in the first place, should give up, but in my personal opinion, they should not give up. The number of units allotted differs depending on each dealer, so it may be a good idea to visit various dealers again near the release date. If you can find a dealer with a large allocation, you may have a chance to buy.

Increase production by increasing manufacturing plants

I heard that they will increase production by increasing the number of manufacturing plants. I was not able to find out which factory it was in, but it seems that they are ramping up production and that the monthly production volume is high for the Land Cruiser series. However, it is expected that the number of units manufactured will not be able to keep up with the number of orders when it is popular when it is first released and sales start in various parts of Japan. Also, it seems that the number of units allotted to each retailer is different, and the delivery date will vary between strong and weak retailers.

Toyota’s new “Land Cruiser 250” Japanese model release date?

  • Officially announced and released on April 18, 2024
  • Production starts on April 25, 2024

Toyota was scheduled to release the Japanese model of the new Land Cruiser 250 on March 8, 2024, but the release date has been postponed . ( Due to the Toyota Industries’ certification fraud announced on January 29, 2024. ) However, information has been officially sent to each dealer, and the official announcement and release will be on April 18, 2024 , with production starting in 2024. The date has been set for April 25, 2019, and I think it will definitely go on sale. However, while purchase slots are allocated to each dealership, the proportion and number of units will vary, and delivery times are expected to be extended, similar to the Land Cruiser 300.

priority list

Since I am planning to purchase one, I was told by the dealer I was visiting that they prioritize the delivery dates of buyers at various stores, so I have summarized this.

  • There is a history of continuous purchases at dealers. (Maybe new sales will be refused.)
  • You can trade in your current car.
  • Purchase plans, payment methods, and installment contracts are available. (KINTO/residual value setting plan)
  • I am asking the dealer for maintenance.
  • Priority based on car model/grade selection (some car models may have earlier delivery dates)

All of this can actually be said to be natural. Therefore, considering these factors, dealers may prioritize their customers. It’s important to understand these factors and think from the retailer’s perspective when making a purchase.

  • Consistent purchase history at the dealership : This should be easy to understand. Customers who make regular purchases are very important to retailers. They are a stable source of revenue for dealerships and are important customers.
  • Trade-in your current car : This is also important. Dealers can earn profits by selling cars on Toyota’s directly managed used car market.
  • Installment contract (KINTO/residual value setting plan) : Interest is charged, so you can earn more profit from the interest than if you paid in a lump sum.
  • Maintenance at the dealership : Maintenance also benefits the dealership.

A final word from the editorial department

We have summarized the number of units produced in the initial lot over the past two years. As for whether the allocation for Japan is large or small, to be honest, I can’t help but be impressed by Toyota’s willingness to prepare such a large number of vehicles for the Japanese market under these conditions of weak yen. . This is because, at the current exchange rate of 158 yen to the dollar, exporting overseas can generate extremely high profits. Still, I personally feel that the fact that Toyota has secured this many units for the Japanese market shows their kind attitude towards the Japanese market. It looks like the Alphard I’m ordering will finally be ready for shipment. It took a year for delivery. You’ll feel lucky just to be included in the initial lottery, so give it a try and buy a Land Cruiser 250.
