The official unveiling of the all-new 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser is set to take place on August 1. This marks the return of the iconic model to the North American market after a brief hiatus. The 2025 Land Cruiser is a different model compared to the J300 introduced internationally in 2021 and is expected to be called the J250. It will essentially replace the Prado (J150) globally.
A series of official teaser images have revealed the close relationship between the 2024 Lexus GX and the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser. Throughout history, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and the Lexus GX have maintained a close relationship, not just in terms of shared platforms but also in terms of exterior and interior design. However, the presence of both SUV models in the US market has prompted Toyota to invest in creating greater differentiation in terms of styling.
In this article, we can get a preview of the upcoming Land Cruiser’s design based on the design of the Lexus GX and previous teaser images. The design of the 2025 Land Cruiser combines classic and modern elements, resulting in a highly impressive new look.
At the front, rectangular headlights are positioned above the air intakes, reminiscent of the style of the J60. The black plastic grille is enlarged and connects with the black front bumper. The plastic panel on both sides of the front bumper stands out more than on the Lexus model, integrating additional air intakes. Finally, the hood has some differences, with lines that gradually fade towards the box-shaped front end of the car.
The sides of the car seem to share the same design as other SUV models from the same family, with the exception of different wheel designs and minor changes in decorative accents.
However, the rear of the car tells a different story. Toyota has opted for a unique vertically stacked taillight arrangement instead of the Lexus’ horizontally spread taillight cluster. The rear of the car also features prominent “Land Cruiser” lettering.
Toyota has not yet revealed the interior design, but based on the Lexus design, it is expected that the new Land Cruiser will receive a significant upgrade compared to the previous model. Toyota designers may incorporate the latest technologies, including a modern digital cockpit with a large infotainment screen, while improving the quality of materials. The SUV is also expected to offer a spacious cabin with a 3-row, 7-seat configuration and a large trunk.
The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser is expected to share the TNGA-F platform with the Lexus GX, as well as other SUV and pickup truck models from the Japanese automaker. If it has the same length as the GX (5,005 mm), it will be slightly larger than the current Land Cruiser J300 (4,985 mm) available in other markets. However, the different front and rear bumper designs could potentially affect the overall length of the new Land Cruiser.
In terms of powertrain, it is highly likely that the 2025 Land Cruiser will be equipped with a twin-turbo 3.4L V6 engine that produces 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 electrified Toyota Sequoia model. Regardless of the engine choice, the 2025 Land Cruiser is expected to come with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time 4WD.
