Let's take a look at the highlights of the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ. It will be launched in Thailand in late March 2026. Await the pricing together—fans are expected to be pleased.

"Thairath Online" introduces everyone to the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ, an off-road boxy design vehicle manufactured at Toyota's Ban Pho plant in Chachoengsao Province, with production for sale in Japan and several other countries.


Key features of the 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ

- The Land Cruiser FJ is a Body On Frame SUV, similar to the Toyota Hilux CHAMP.

- The exterior design emphasizes a square passenger cabin, prioritizing usability and cargo capacity valued by all Land Cruiser models. It reflects a sleek, strong, and enjoyable character through its square body, dice-like patterns, and beveled edges. The front and rear designs provide a solid, powerful impression with robust bumpers and flared fenders on a compact and simple body.

- The front and rear corner bumpers are modular and detachable, allowing easy replacement of damaged parts. This design also considers customization possibilities so users can enjoy their Land Cruiser uniquely.

- The horizontal, low dashboard improves visibility. Displays, switches, and various functions, including the gear shift buttons, are within easy reach and sight level, facilitating easier driving both on roads and off-road.


- The rear seats split 60:40 can slide forward and backward and recline. Three rear headrests are provided.

- Toyota Safety Sense offers advanced safety features, including a Pre-collision Safety System, ensuring a pleasant and confident driving experience.

- A shorter wheelbase (270 mm shorter than the Land Cruiser 250) provides excellent agility, with a tight turning radius of 5.5 meters and strong off-road capabilities, a new charm of the Land Cruiser.


- Additional underbody braces and increased body strength enhance vehicle stability and control.

- During development, rigorous off-road testing identified areas for improvement to ensure this model embodies true Land Cruiser traits in reliability, durability, and off-road performance.

The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ uses a 2.7-liter 2TR-FE inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine producing 163 horsepower and 246 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed Super ECT automatic transmission and part-time 4WD.

Concept behind the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ

The Land Cruiser FJ is inspired by the themes of Freedom & Joy, reflecting the experiences drivers have with this vehicle in their own style. At the same time, it maintains trustworthiness, durability, and off-road performance that suit diverse lifestyles. This vision stems from a return to the origins of the Land Cruiser 250 Series, aiming to enhance customer enjoyment.


Before becoming the Toyota Land Cruiser,

- Toyota has continuously developed the Land Cruiser with this philosophy, resulting in cumulative sales of approximately 12.15 million units across over 190 countries and regions globally.

- The Land Cruiser is Toyota's flagship model, developed and improved with input from customers worldwide for over 70 years.


Toyota Land Cruiser Variants

- The Toyota Land Cruiser Station Wagon, which consistently offers the latest technologies and has evolved into the flagship model (currently the 300 Series).

- The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series, a heavy-duty model known for durability and excellent utility as a multipurpose vehicle.

- The Toyota Land Cruiser 250 Series, the main model introduced in 2024, returning to the vehicle’s origins as a simple, rugged vehicle meeting practical lifestyle needs.
