Toyota price hikes coming as Australia's top auto brand calls for more ‘equitable’ emissions laws

Key points

• Toyota Australia is lobbying the federal government to adjust emissions regulations, warning they could raise prices for popular diesel models like the HiLux and LandCruiser 70 Series.
• The company argues the current New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) may unfairly impact rural and regional Australians who rely on diesel vehicles.
• Toyota says it supports the NVES but believes the scheme should be more equitable for light commercial vehicles, which face increasing pressure from 2027.
