It starts at 46,500 USD in Japan. I think a lower range trim would sell pretty well in the USA. It would outsell the LS500.
The GR sport (the double locked off road model) is $73k USD.
In Australia the base model is the diesel and it has the touchscreen and the 110liter (30 gallon) dual fuel tanks. Base price is $65k USD - but that includes about $7-8k in taxes and fees. So it's equivalent to $52-53k USD, or something like after sales tax and first years insurance. For a reasonably well equipped model comparable to our SR5 4runner. Considering the twin turbo diesel is included, it's fair to say that's about what a similar TT V6 model with the smaller touch screen would cost.
I think it'd sell really well. Id buy one tomorrow. And I think sales could go back to what they were for prior generations when the LC overlapped price with the top trim 4runner. Just like it does now with the Prado 150. And the 4runner is more expensive than the Prado in markets where both are sold. So this wouldn't be unusual.
