The legendary Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series  (read our 2024 launch report) is built for hard-core off-road enthusiasts and is synonymous with conquering the toughest terrain. Folks who live and breathe adventure have relied on this iconic 4x4 to navigate any path imaginable for many years, but for those who also crave the sun in their face and wind in their hair, a common question arises: Does the Land Cruiser 70 Series come equipped with a sunroof?

 

Land Cruiser 70 Series: Built for the rough stuff

Unfortunately for sunroof enthusiasts, the answer is a clear no. There's no sunroof available on any Land Cruiser 70 Series models. Not even the Wagon.

 

As much as we love a sunroof, it's understandable that Toyota's venerable 70 Series range makes do without this feature.

 

There's a clear reason for this design choice. The Land Cruiser 70 Series prioritises ruggedness, practicality, and off-road capability. Sunroofs can add weight and complexity, potentially compromising these core strengths. Also, bakkies are not fitted with a sunroof, usually.


The 70 Series is just too tough for a sunroof.

 

Alternatives with a sunroof: Toyota offers another serious 4x4 with this feature


Why not go for a Toyota Prado? The Prado's high-end VX-L trim comes standard with a sunroof.

Just bear in mind that the launch of the brand-new Toyota Prado (see below) is imminent, and we recommend waiting for it before committing to the soon-to-be "old" one.


 

On the flip side, it may be worth a shot to haggle down your local dealership for a current-generation model, because they may want to clear the showroom floor to make space for the gorgeous new one.

Verdict

The Land Cruiser 70 Series, while lacking a sunroof, remains a legend for its unwavering toughness and off-road dominance, but if you must have a sunroof at all costs, opt for the current-generation Prado in VX-L trim instead, or wait for the new one with a "moonroof."
