2023 Toyota Land Cruiser ZX Review: 3VA-VJA300W 7-Seat SUV

A bigger journey starts with a better plan. From the weekday routine to a longer escape, choose an SUV around the people, places and luggage that matter to you.

This Toyota listing brings the Land Cruiser ZX into that conversation. Below, you will find the offer details, real photographs, manufacturer safety information and a practical way to turn interest into a useful enquiry.

The offer at a glance

Checked on 6 October 2026. The seller describes this Toyota 3VA-VJA300W as a 3.5 ZX 4WD. Its rear photograph also shows Land Cruiser and ZX badges.

Source: the exact Autoline advertisement. Price, mileage and availability may change; request a current written quotation and supporting records.

Room for the way you travel

Think beyond the headline seating number. For a family viewing, ask to see access to each row and the luggage area in your usual seating arrangement. Bring a list of what travels with you: school bags, a pushchair, suitcases or sports equipment. That makes a cabin demonstration useful from the first minute.

The listed comforts include a sunroof, keyless entry, air conditioning and powered mirrors. Ask the seller to demonstrate the controls you expect to use each day. If several people will drive the car, make seat adjustment, visibility and the driving position part of the viewing.

For child seats, use the vehicle handbook and the restraint manufacturer's fitting instructions to confirm appropriate seating positions. A well-planned viewing lets you explore passenger comfort around your own routine.

Toyota engineering behind the 300 Series

Toyota's launch information describes the Land Cruiser 300's body-on-frame GA-F platform, with increased frame rigidity, reduced weight and a lower centre of gravity. The manufacturer also describes a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission. These are model specifications, rather than measured results for this used vehicle.

The advertisement rounds engine displacement to 3,400 cm³, while the seller's description uses 3.5. Ask for the registration and engine details to complete the specification record.

For a touring buyer, the practical next step is a demonstration along a route similar to normal use. Explore the controls, parking and passenger experience with the seller or a qualified inspector. For business transport, match the vehicle to your organisation's journey-management and fleet requirements.

Safety features: seller equipment and Toyota model context

The advertisement lists ABS and driver, passenger and side airbags. These are seller-stated features; include their condition and the vehicle's safety-system records in the inspection.

In Toyota's Japanese 300 Series launch material, the manufacturer describes:

• Toyota Safety Sense: pre-collision support with pedestrian and cyclist detection, intersection assistance and emergency steering assistance.
• Parking Support Brake: support for reducing low-speed collision risk around obstacles and approaching traffic.
• Blind Spot Monitor: assistance that alerts occupants to potential hazards.
• ZX chassis features: Adaptive Variable Suspension and a rear Torsen limited-slip differential, described by Toyota as supporting control and stability.

Confirm the equipment on this exact car. Toyota's launch information provides model context. Ask for the VIN or chassis record, equipment sheet and a demonstration to confirm installed systems and their operation. Assistance functions have operating limits; follow the handbook and remain responsible for observation and vehicle control.

Turn a first enquiry into a clear buying plan

A good enquiry gives the seller a specific task. Start with the advertisement reference and your intended destination, then ask for the information you need to compare the offer with your travel plans.

1. Identify the vehicle. Request the chassis record, registration details, specification sheet and current availability.
2. Arrange an inspection. Ask for service documents and an independent condition report, including tyres, brakes, seat belts and fitted assistance systems. The seller states one-owner history and regular servicing; request the records.
3. Request a recent walkaround. Ask for a dated video of the vehicle, dashboard, seating arrangements and luggage area. No seller walkaround video was identified in the advertisement.
4. Plan delivery. Obtain an itemised quotation covering the vehicle, export handling, freight, insurance and the services included. Confirm import eligibility, steering-position requirements, taxes and registration with the relevant destination authorities or a qualified importer.
5. Compare the complete ownership plan. Budget for fuel, servicing, insurance and your expected annual travel. Use confirmed information rather than assumptions about running costs.

Who should take a closer look?

This offer is worth exploring for buyers seeking a spacious petrol SUV for family travel or touring, with a viewing plan centred on passenger comfort and the intended route. For company use, discuss your journey profile and fleet acceptance criteria before choosing the vehicle.

The strongest buying decision connects three things: how you will use the car, what is documented about this exact example and the complete cost of getting it ready for your journeys.
