Toyota has introduced the newest and most compact model in its popular Land Cruiser lineup, the FJ. This new SUV is being called the “Baby Land Cruiser” because, despite its smaller design, it offers the same rugged off-road performance that is the hallmark of the Land Cruiser series. Its global debut will take place at the Japan Mobility Expo 2025, and the company is preparing to launch it by mid-2026.

Powerful Engine and Off-Road Capability
The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ is powered by a 2.7-liter petrol engine that produces 160 bhp and 246 Nm of torque. It features a 6-speed automatic transmission and a 4WD system. The company claims that this SUV can easily navigate any terrain, be it mountainous terrain, sandy tracks, or even navigating city traffic. This makes the FJ a versatile off-road machine.
Bold and Classic Design
The new Land Cruiser FJ features a bold and muscular design. Its square-shaped body structure, blacked-out roof, and rear door-mounted spare wheel give it a classic FJ style. The wheel arches have been strengthened and widened to enhance the SUV’s off-road appearance. It is built on the IMV platform, inspired by the Land Cruiser 70 series.
Compact Dimensions, Easy Handling
Toyota designed the new FJ specifically for drivers who want a large SUV look with easy handling. Its wheelbase has been shortened by 270mm, giving it a turning radius of just 5.5 meters. This means the SUV can easily maneuver even in tight streets and parking spaces. Its dimensions are 4,575mm in length, 1,855mm in width, and 1,960mm in height. It features a 5-seater layout, making it ideal for both family and adventure travel.
Strength and Testing Pass
Toyota has tested the FJ in numerous rigorous testing conditions. The company claims that it features high body rigidity and structural braces to ensure the SUV remains stable on any terrain. It is compact yet robust and reliable, carrying forward the Land Cruiser tradition.
FJ to Carry On Toyota Legacy
The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ marks a new chapter in the company’s 70-year SUV legacy. More than 12 million Land Cruiser SUVs have been sold worldwide, and the new FJ will carry on that legacy with modern design and compact engineering.
