The SUV features bespoke updates on the outside that include a unique grille with dark finish and black headlight and smoked fog lamp surrounds, as well as a few updates on the inside.

It also gets LED lights, 18-inch alloy wheels, moonroof, 4-zone climate control, heated and ventilated front seats with power adjustment, premium audio system, sat-nav and others, alongside the Toyota Safety Sense pack of driver assistance gear.
“Toyota’s history in Australia started with the original Land Cruisers brought into the country to work on the Snowy Mountains Hydro Scheme back in 1958, and since then, Land Cruiser has played a role in the lives of people across the country from the bush to the beach”, said Toyota Australia VP of Sales and Marketing, Sean Hanley. “This new special edition Horizon model offers Land Cruiser customers stylish and more distinctive visual appeal in a vehicle that remains as capable and competent on and off the road, wherever they choose to travel.”
Powering the new Land Cruiser Sahara Horizon is a 4.5-liter turbodiesel V8 that develops 200 kW (272 PS / 268 HP) and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque, available between 1,600 and 2,600 rpm. The mill drives all four wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission, complete with low-range ratios.
