According to reliable sources, the upcoming Toyota Land Cruiser model for the US market will not be the LC300 model available worldwide. Instead, Toyota is considering introducing a distinct version of the Land Cruiser Prado specifically tailored for the US market.

The US market Land Cruiser will fall within the premium off-road segment. This limited-production vehicle is poised to channel a retro-inspired design reminiscent of the Land Cruisers from the 1960s and 1970s. This SUV will still retain its body-on-frame construction while incorporating electrification technology. It is expected to serve as a more practical alternative to the luxurious Lexus GX.

There are speculations suggesting that the US version of the Land Cruiser could potentially employ a 2.4L turbocharged gasoline-hybrid powertrain. This electrified engine is already present in the Tacoma pickup model, delivering a remarkable maximum output of 326 horsepower alongside a peak torque of 640 Nm. The much-anticipated Land Cruiser tailored for the US market is expected to make its debut later this year.
