Exterior

The Land Cruiser 300 ZX is what happens when Toyota takes the concept of a luxury SUV and refuses to remove the bits designed for crossing continents. It is enormous, upright and unmistakably Land Cruiser. At approximately 4,985 mm long, 1,980 mm wide and 1,925 mm tall, the ZX occupies a considerable amount of Dhaka road. The 2,850 mm wheelbase gives it a planted stance, while the wide body creates the sort of road presence that makes smaller traffic suddenly discover its brakes. The diesel ZX uses 20-inch wheels in the current Japanese specification, giving it a more luxurious appearance than the simpler grades. That does, however, mean replacement tyres are not going to be mistaken for pocket change. Despite its premium styling, the LC300 retains genuine off-road proportions and hardware. Full-time 4WD and substantial ground clearance allow the ZX to operate far beyond paved roads. The design also cleverly avoids becoming too flashy. The ZX looks expensive without needing the theatrical bodywork of the GR Sport. It is the executive's Land Cruiser: polished enough for Gulshan, tough enough for somewhere the road has given up entirely. For Bangladesh, that dual personality is a major part of the appeal.

Interior

The ZX's cabin is where the LC300 moves decisively into flagship territory. It retains the upright driving position and commanding visibility expected from a Land Cruiser while adding modern luxury equipment throughout the cabin.

The five-seat diesel layout provides generous passenger space and a large usable luggage area. Electric seats, premium upholstery, automatic climate control, rear air conditioning, advanced infotainment and extensive connectivity make long-distance travel considerably more comfortable.

The 12.3-inch multimedia display, smartphone connectivity and digital instrumentation bring the LC300 firmly into the modern era. Depending on market specification, the ZX can also feature premium audio, rear entertainment and additional comfort equipment.

Toyota has also retained the practical details that matter when the vehicle is actually being used: substantial storage, cup holders, folding rear seats and a configurable luggage area.

The five-seat configuration is worth remembering. The diesel ZX sold in Japan is not the seven-seat version buyers sometimes assume it is. Toyota's official specification lists the diesel ZX as a five-seater, while the petrol ZX is offered with seven seats.

For Bangladesh buyers carrying five occupants, the diesel ZX's layout is extremely practical.

Features

The ZX is positioned near the top of the standard LC300 hierarchy, and its equipment reflects that position. It combines the mechanical capability of the Land Cruiser platform with a substantial amount of luxury and technology. The headline hardware is the 3.3L V6 twin-turbo diesel producing 700 Nm. It is paired with Toyota's Direct Shift 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time 4WD. Toyota says the 10-speed gearbox is designed to provide close ratios for responsive acceleration while also improving high-speed efficiency. Inside, the ZX can bring a large touchscreen, smartphone integration, wireless charging, premium audio, electric seats, climate control and extensive USB connectivity. Safety technology is equally significant. Toyota Safety Sense systems, parking-support functions and multiple driver-assistance technologies are part of the modern LC300 package, although exact equipment should always be verified on a particular imported vehicle. This is where the ZX differs from the simpler GX. The GX gives you the Land Cruiser machinery; the ZX adds the expensive furniture around it.

Safety

The LC300 ZX represents a massive safety-generation leap over the old 200 Series. It combines the Land Cruiser's robust body-on-frame platform with modern electronic safety systems. Toyota Safety Sense provides technologies designed to assist with collision avoidance, lane support and adaptive cruising, while the LC300 platform also incorporates stability control, traction control, multiple airbags, ABS, EBD and other active safety systems. The ZX can also be equipped with parking sensors and camera-based assistance, which is particularly useful because the vehicle is nearly five metres long and almost two metres wide. For Bangladesh, these systems have practical value. Dhaka traffic frequently involves motorcycles, pedestrians, rickshaws and vehicles changing lanes without much warning. Driver-assistance technology cannot solve those problems, but it can provide another layer of protection. Toyota's current documentation also identifies parking-support braking functions for stationary objects, approaching vehicles and rear pedestrians on the updated LC300. As always, a parallel-import vehicle needs individual verification. A seller's specification sheet may describe equipment from a higher grade or aftermarket package. The VIN, factory equipment and actual vehicle should be checked before recording the specification.

Driving Experience

The 3.3L F33A-FTV diesel is the defining feature of the ZX. Its 700 Nm arrives from relatively low engine speed, giving the LC300 the effortless shove expected from a flagship diesel SUV. Toyota lists 307 PS and 700 Nm, with the engine paired to the Direct Shift 10AT. The Japanese specification gives the diesel ZX a WLTC combined figure of 9.7 km/L, with 7.4 km/L in the urban test and 11.1 km/L on the highway test. Real Bangladesh traffic is considerably less cooperative, so approximately 5.5–7 km/L in city conditions and 9–11 km/L on open highways is a more useful ownership expectation. Acceleration is strong enough to make the ZX feel much smaller than it actually is. The engine does not need to scream; it simply produces an enormous wave of torque and lets the 10-speed gearbox do the housekeeping. On highways, this is where the diesel ZX makes most sense. It settles into relaxed cruising while retaining substantial overtaking reserve. Off-road, the combination becomes even more convincing. Full-time 4WD, strong low-speed torque and Toyota's proven chassis engineering allow the ZX to tackle surfaces where luxury crossovers would rather call their lawyers. It is not merely a luxury SUV that happens to have 4WD. The 4WD is the reason it exists.
EXPLORE THE RANGE

Variants

The Japanese LC300 range is unusually important to understand because the ZX name covers more than one powertrain. The current Japanese range includes a 3.3L diesel ZX with five seats and a 3.5L petrol ZX with seven seats. The diesel uses the F33A-FTV engine with 307 PS and 700 Nm, while the petrol version uses the V35A-FTS with 415 PS and 650 Nm. Both use a 10-speed automatic and full-time 4WD. That means “LC300 ZX” by itself is not enough information for a CarHub vehicle record. The engine, fuel type and seating configuration should be recorded separately. For Bangladesh, diesel ZX listings are particularly important because multiple local advertisements identify 2022–2023 LC300 ZX units as 3.3L twin-turbo diesel models. Current listings include a 2022 diesel ZX at Tk 2.65 crore and newer 2023 ZX listings around Tk 4.60 crore. When purchasing, verify the chassis code, engine code, production year, registration status, auction history and factory equipment. The badge says ZX. The VIN tells you which ZX you actually bought.
