The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ, recently launched in Japan, brings a more accessible and compact take on the iconic Land Cruiser formula, expected to arrive in India in late 2028. Outside, it adopts the classic square-cabin silhouette with clean, functional lines, flared fenders, and removable corner bumpers for easier repairs. It has an upright stance and a spare tyre mounted at the rear.

On the inside, the five-seat cabin features a horizontal instrument panel, low cowl for better forward sightlines, and generous luggage space behind the sliding and reclining second-row seats. Meanwhile, equipment includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen with connected navigation, Panoramic View Monitor, and Blind Spot Monitor.

Powertrain-wise, the 2.7-litre petrol engine producing 163 hp and 246 Nm of torque, paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. This combination returns a WLTC claimed mileage of 8.7 kmpl.

The part-time 4WD drivetrain, supported by a ladder-frame chassis, maintains the Land Cruiser’s reputation for off-road capability through good wheel articulation, ground clearance, and features such as Downhill Assist Control, Hill Start Assist Control, and an electric rear differential lock.

As for safety, the Toyota Safety Sense provides core active safety with Pre-Collision System and Lane Departure Alert, complemented by 7 airbags.
