The new Toyota Land Cruiser 250 , a Japanese model , was finally released on April 18, 2024. While we’ve previously provided information about the Land Cruiser 250 on this site , this time we’ll focus on the delivery time.
For those who have been able to place an order…
the delivery period is about 1 to 2 years.
About delivery time
- Land Cruiser 250 Please contact your dealer for details.
- Land Cruiser 250 Gasoline: 5-8 months / Diesel: 6-9 months
How many units will be produced in Japan?
- First edition: 8,000 units
- Monthly sales standard: 2,250 units (including First Edition)
The initial production run will last approximately two years, with 8,000 units of the First Edition and 59,000 units of other grades, for a total of 67,000 units. Anyone who can purchase this First Edition is truly lucky.

The delivery time is expected to vary depending on how soon after the release you place your order, and the grade and equipment you choose. Furthermore, considering that orders for the Land Cruiser 300 are still suspended, it is likely that the delivery time will be significantly longer. It is expected to be further into the future.
About the lottery sale
Starting April 10, 2024, the lottery for reservations for the Land Cruiser 250 began at some dealerships . There are various situations, such as some people already know the results and others who still don’t know. Some people have won the lottery for the first edition. Also, it seems that there are many sales that are conditional.
- Past purchase history available
- Residual credit required
- Maintenance Pack & Coating
- No transfer for 1 year

If I don’t win the lottery or can’t participate, should I give up?
The question is whether those who lost out in the lottery this time, or those who were unable to participate in the lottery in the first place, should just give up, but in my personal opinion, you shouldn’t give up. Since the number of units allocated varies depending on each dealer, it might be a good idea to visit various dealers again around the release date. If you can find a dealer with a large allocation, you might have a chance to purchase one.
Increase production by adding more manufacturing plants
I heard that they are increasing production by adding more manufacturing plants. I wasn’t able to find out which plants, but they are ramping up production, and it seems that the monthly production volume is high for the Land Cruiser series. However, it was popular at the time of its release, so it is expected that when sales start across Japan, the number of units produced will not be able to keep up with the number of orders. Also, it seems that the number of units allocated to each dealership will differ, and delivery times will vary depending on whether the dealership is strong or not.
Toyota’s new Land Cruiser 250 Japanese model release date?
- Official announcement and release date: April 18, 2024
- Production begins on April 25, 2024
Toyota had planned to release the Japanese model of the new Land Cruiser 250 on March 8, 2024, but this has been postponed (due to the impact of Toyota Industries’ certification fraud , announced on January 29, 2024 ) . However, official information has been sent to dealers, with the official announcement and release set for April 18, 2024 , and production set to begin on April 25, 2024, so we believe the car will definitely go on sale. However, while purchase quotas will be allocated to each dealer, the percentages and numbers vary, and delivery times are expected to be extended, just like the Land Cruiser 300.
Toyota’s new Land Cruiser 250 Japanese model: Delivery times and purchasing information
There is similar information on social media, and it seems that the delivery time will be at least a year. Of course, there are measures to prevent scalpers.
Priority List
I am planning to purchase one, and the dealer I visited explained to me that they prioritize delivery times for buyers at various dealerships, so I have summarized that here.
- There is a history of continuous purchases from the dealer. (They may refuse to sell to new customers.)
- You can trade in your current car.
- Purchase plans, payment methods, and installment contracts are available (KINTO residual value plan).
- I have asked the dealer to perform maintenance.
- Priority based on vehicle model and grade selection (some vehicles may have earlier delivery times)
All of these things may seem obvious, so when considering these factors, dealers may prioritize their customers. It is important to understand these factors and think from the dealer’s perspective when making a purchase.
- Consistent Dealership Purchases : This one is easy to understand. Customers who purchase from you regularly are extremely important to your dealership. They are a stable source of revenue for your dealership and are your key customers.
- Trade-in your current car : This is also important. Dealers can make a profit by selling their cars on Toyota’s directly managed “used car market.”
- Installment contract (KINTO/residual value plan) : Interest is charged, so you can earn more interest than if you paid in full.
- Dealership maintenance : Maintenance also benefits dealerships.

Finally, a word from the editorial team
I’ve summarized the production numbers for the initial lot over the past two years. While I’m not sure whether the allocation for Japan is large or small, I honestly can’t help but admire Toyota’s willingness to prepare so many units for the Japanese market, especially given the current weak yen. This is because, with the current exchange rate of around 158 yen to the dollar, exporting overseas would generate very high profits. Still, I personally feel that Toyota’s commitment to reserving so many units for the Japanese market demonstrates their generous attitude toward the Japanese market. The Alphard I ordered is finally likely to be shipped. It took a year for delivery. I consider myself lucky just to be selected for the initial lottery, so why not give it a try and buy a Land Cruiser 250?
