Last year, Toyota launched the Land Cruiser LC300 in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 2.1 lakh (ex-showroom) as a fully imported unit. And now, reports suggest that the Japanese carmaker has temporarily stopped accepting its bookings due to the high demand for the flagship SUV in the country.
Toyota hasn’t specified the resumption date for Land Cruiser bookings. However, we expect an official announcement to be made when this decision is implemented.
