Mini Land Cruiser
Toyota has always made its Land Cruiser brand a symbol of strength, trust and off-road performance. The new Land Cruiser FJ seems to carry on the same tradition, but this time in a smaller, more economical and eco-friendly avatar.
It is being said that this SUV will revive the spirit of the legacy FJ Cruiser. The only difference will be that this new FJ will be made according to small, modern and stringent rules. That is, a tremendous combination of new technology with the old classic touch.
IMV 0 platform
According to reports, Land Cruiser FJ will be built on the IMV 0 ladder frame platform. The same platform has also been used in Toyota Hilux Champ. This means that the new FJ will also see real off-road capability.
In terms of design, this SUV will adopt the traditional off-road look. It will see buxy portions, upright stance, squared wheel arches, thick C-pillars, and rugged cladding — which will give it a true off-roader identity.
Engine
Talking about the engine, Toyota has not yet confirmed the engine details of the Land Cruiser FJ, but early reports suggest that it will be found in 2.7-litre naturely aspirated petrol engine, taken from Toyota’s Fortuner and Hilux. This engine will generate power of around 163 hp and torque of 245 Nm.
It is likely to offer both manual and automatic gearbox options for riders. Also, Toyota may also add turbo-petrol, diesel or hybrid variants later.

At the same time, modern features like LED headlamps, digital instrument clusters and connected car technology will upgrade it according to today’s era.
