Toyota has just announced the FJ, a new member of the Land Cruiser family. According to the brand, the model will be officially presented at the 2025 Tokyo Motor Show.
The new, compact FJ Land Cruiser is ready to compete with the upcoming smaller Land Rover Defender, according to information from the Car Magazine website.
For this model, Toyota prioritized customization, with a range of features designed to allow future owners to personalize their cars as they wish.
The brand mentioned that both the front and rear bumpers are easily removable, meaning you can choose round headlights instead of the original rectangular ones.
Inside, it features many rugged details, solid materials, and a variety of physical controls, including even a manual handbrake.
Under the hood, the new Land Cruiser comes with a 2.7-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine at launch, delivering 161 hp of power.
The engine is paired with a part-time four-wheel-drive system and a six-speed “Super ECT” transmission, which essentially acts as a torque converter.
As a Land Cruiser model, Toyota focused on giving the new FJ off-road capabilities, with the brand stating that the new FJ has good approach and departure angles.
The FJ is set to be officially launched in mid-2026, but more information will only be available after its public debut at the 2025 Tokyo Motor Show.
