Toyota Land Cruiser FJ

Toyota has finally done it, the legendary FJ name is officially back. Meet the all-new Toyota Land Cruiser FJ, a compact, retro-styled off-roader that channels the rugged soul of the original while embracing modern design and functionality. Smaller and more agile than its big brothers, the FJ is built for adventure seekers who crave the classic Land Cruiser spirit in a more manageable size.

Powered by a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed automatic and part-time 4WD, the FJ delivers 160 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque, modest numbers, but more than enough for trail duty. Its boxy silhouette, modular bumpers, and MOLLE panels nod to Toyota’s off-road heritage while allowing for easy customization and repair.

With removable bumpers, a 101-inch wheelbase, and a tough IMV platform shared with the Hilux, the Land Cruiser FJ combines simplicity, durability, and capability. Set to debut publicly at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, this compact 4x4 hits Japan in mid-2026, and while U.S. availability remains uncertain, one thing’s clear: the FJ is back to inspire a new generation of explorers.
