Thanks to the teaser images of the Toyota Land Cruiser 2025 with backlighting, we can get a glimpse of the car’s overall shape, although it’s difficult to see the finer design details. This new model is positioned as a successor to the iconic FJ40 generation introduced back in 1960.
The proportions of the new Land Cruiser’s body and windows bear a striking resemblance to the 2024 Lexus GX, indicating that these two SUVs will share the same platform as their predecessors. However, the Land Cruiser has undergone a body redesign to give it a distinct feel from its siblings. The front of the car features a more rectangular design with smaller, lower headlights that may extend into the grille.
At the rear, the Land Cruiser retains the larger taillights in the traditional style, along with a high, protruding rear bumper reminiscent of previous Land Cruiser generations.
Inside, the Land Cruiser 2025 is expected to offer a three-row configuration with seven seats, combining practicality with the latest Toyota technologies.
The Land Cruiser 2025 is likely to share the TNGA-F platform with the Lexus GX and other SUV and pickup truck models from Toyota. If it maintains the same length as the GX at 5,005mm, it will be slightly longer than the current Land Cruiser J300, which measures 4,985mm. However, the differing front and rear bumper designs may affect the overall length of the new Land Cruiser.
In terms of powertrain, it is highly likely that the Land Cruiser 2025 will come equipped with a twin-turbocharged V6 3.4L engine, producing a maximum output of 349 horsepower, similar to the Lexus GX. There may also be an option for the i-Force Max hybrid engine, which offers a combined output of 437 horsepower, as seen in the Toyota Sequoia electric conversion model. Regardless of the engine choice, the Land Cruiser 2025 is expected to feature a 10-speed automatic transmission and a full-time 4WD system.
