The LC76 is an off-road vehicle from Toyota Land Cruiser, known for its excellent off-road performance and is active worldwide.

I've been keeping an eye on the off-road vehicle market, and the Toyota LC76, as a classic model, does indeed have an automatic transmission version. The Middle East market once sold automatic variants equipped with an old-style 4AT transmission paired with the 1GR engine. Parallel importers occasionally manage to source a few new automatic models, but they're highly sought after. If you're looking for one domestically, I'd recommend contacting specialized parallel import dealers directly—prices are typically 50,000 to 80,000 RMB higher than manual versions. However, note that automatic transmissions offer slightly less off-road reliability compared to manuals, with slower throttle response in extreme terrain. Seasoned desert off-roaders generally prefer the manual version.

After driving my friend's Middle East-spec automatic LC76, it felt like a completely different vehicle compared to the common manual version. Although the 4AT transmission is outdated in terms of technology, its shift smoothness was surprisingly good, making city driving much easier. The biggest issue is that domestic 4S stores simply don't import the automatic version—last year, my attempt to order one was politely declined. Currently, the only reliable option is to look for used vehicles from the Middle East or Australia, but the customs procedures are a headache, requiring an additional 30,000 yuan or so for tariffs and shipping. If you're particularly keen on the automatic version, I'd recommend considering a relatively recent used model—finding a brand-new one is basically a matter of luck.

The Toyota LC76 was indeed available with an automatic transmission variant, primarily sold in Australia and the Middle East. Most units seen in China are parallel-imported vehicles, with new car prices typically ranging between 600,000 to 750,000 RMB, significantly more expensive than regular manual versions. This 4AT transmission uses Toyota's legacy technology with proven reliability, though fuel consumption is about 10% higher than manual versions. A practical issue is that domestic repair shops often lack experience with such special models - automatic transmission failures may require waiting for imported parts, making repairs three times more troublesome than manual transmissions.
