Featured Toyota Land Cruiser FJ World Premiere

New Land Cruiser "FJ" Makes World Premiere | Toyota | Global Newsroom | Toyota Motor Corporation Official Global Website

Toyota Global released details of the Land Cruiser FJ today. Land Cruiser FJ will be built on the IMV (Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle) platform, same platform that the Hilux uses. Here are some key features:

Exterior Design:

• Follows a silhouette that emphasizes a square cabin, taking into consideration the habitability and cargo capacity that successive generations of Land Cruisers have prioritized
• Expresses a lean, strong sense of mass and fun through a rectangular body with a dice motif and chamfered edges
• The front and rear express a powerful sense of stability through a composition of powerful bumpers and flared fenders on a taut, simple body
• Both front and rear corner bumpers are removable, segmented types, allowing only damaged parts to be replaced to improve repairability, while also taking customizability into account to allow users to enjoy their Land Cruiser in their own unique ways

Interior Design & Safety:

• Achieves a cockpit layout that enables instant recognition and steering across a wide range of driving conditions, with a horizontal instrument panel that makes vehicle attitude easy to recognize, a monitor and switches that consolidate functions to minimize eye movement, and a shift knob that allows natural operation, all aimed at creating an interior where users can experience the joy of mobility
• Achieves good forward visibility through a low-set cowl and instrument panel, contributing to safe on- and off-road driving. Employs a low beltline to improve visibility of road surfaces even on rough roads
• Toyota Safety Sense, an active safety package with advanced functions including the Pre-collision Safety System, supports enjoyable driving with peace of mind

Combines off-road performance and mobility worthy of a Land Cruiser with ease and agility from being compact

• Utilizes the platform refined in the IMV series to ensure ground clearance and approach angle. Achieves outstanding off-road performance worthy of a Land Cruiser through wheel articulation (the ability of a tire to stay on the ground) equivalent to the 70 Series
• A shorter wheelbase (270 mm shorter than the 250 Series) ensures excellent maneuverability with a minimum turning radius of 5.5 m and mobility on off-road terrain, giving the Land Cruiser new appeal
• Addition of braces under the floor and higher body rigidity ensure excellent handling stability
• During development, extensive off-road testing identified points for improvement to ensure true Land Cruiser-ness―reliability, durability, and off-road performance

As you can see it is quite small for a Toyota body-on-frame and is only slightly smaller than the RAV4 in length, same width, but is as tall as a Sequoia. An unusual option will also include a couple of Toyota developed Land Hoppers - sort of a midget CanAm reverse trike setup EV.

 

Not sure if it's coming to the US yet. Find out supposedly on October 30 when it debuts at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 in Tokyo.

 

I was kinda surprised it wasn't a hybrid but I'm sure another third of the world is pissed because it didn't have the 2.8L Diesel that the Hilux has. Must have had leftover 2.7L from the 3rd gen Tacomas.
