The new LandCruiser 70 series matches exactly what you want. I believe you can buy them in many countries (U.S. not included). https://www.caranddriver.com/new

Under what circumstances would a BJ70 get over, or anywhere near, 30 MPG?

  Ah, totally missed that part. I was mostly thinking about the low/no tech angle.

  30MPG and AWD is already a pretty tough combo to satisfy. Guess it points to Subaru.

    2016/2017 BMW 340i is the hidden answer, if you want something more modern and luxury. - Comes in (rear biased) AWD - Can be found in stickshift - Can get close to 30MPG in highway driving - Can disable most of the stuff if you’re willing to get your hands dirty, and CarPlay is an easy add on head unit replacement - B58 engine, which is pretty much proving to be one of the most reliable modern engines - More power than you need on the streets, but you’re not paying for M parts and repairs I traded mine in a few months ago since I wanted something else, but man do I think back on that car fondly. It is hands down the last good modern car - and if you get really lucky, you can find them in RWD!

      That's my kind of car. Supposedly gets 32MPG, but it's premium so more equivalent to 28, still decent.

        Yeah... they're getting harder to find due to people catching on, but man they're good.

    Yeah, the 2020 Tiguan I just got averages 27 if I'm lucky. You'd probably have to get a Honda CRV or something smaller like that.

Seems that some will reach the US, and I hope so. This seems great, and thank you!

  Unfortunately Toyota doesn't currently have plans to bring the 70 series over. I'd love to buy one but for better or worse there's not much of a market in the US for a stripped down Land Cruiser with no power windows, power locks, heated seats, etc. The 4Runner and Lexus GX are also built on the LC platform and share tons of parts. If a 70 series fits your needs then either of those would be workable as well. Absolutely none of them would meet your stated fuel economy requirements however. :)
