Three Key Features of the Land Cruiser FJ
1. Interior and exterior styling that fuses the traditional and modern that is the Land Cruiser’s inheritance in a functional package
- 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
2. 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.
3. Customization that makes you want to go anywhere
- Options that expand the joy of customization will be introduced (various items are scheduled to be introduced sequentially during the model life. Availability and content will differ by region)
- Round headlights reminiscent of previous generations of Land Cruisers
- MOLLE panels for attaching outdoor equipment that can provide cargo space for diverse uses
- Robust exterior and functional items that embody Land Cruiser’s signature off-road style for going anywhere
- Toyota is also developing the Land Hopper, an electric personal mobility vehicle designed to carry people and cargo, offering new value in mobility (launch date undecided)
- Allows users to experience the joy of off-road riding on trails (primarily unpaved paths in mountains and forests), going beyond where the Land Cruiser can take them, expanding the pleasures of travel beyond everyday use to touring at travel destinations through its ability to be stored in a vehicle’s luggage area
