2024 Toyota Land Cruiser

by Mike Hunter

The all-new 2024 Land Cruiser allows its driver to explore new worlds with confidence, in modern form. Sporting a “TOYOTA” heritage front grille, square side mirrors and athletic fender flares, this rig is ready for adventure, whether it’s conquering rugged trails or navigating through the urban jungle.

Rugged elegance in two distinct grades, Land Cruiser 1958 is a back-to-basics homage to the original FJ25, with iconic round headlights and fabric seats. Land Cruiser grade elevates the ride further with more trail-ready tech, leather-trimmed seating and rectangular headlights inspired by the FJ62.

Land Cruiser trim’s dual-hue LED fog lights provide a new dimension of safety. Drivers can effortlessly switch between a crisp white light for low-light driving scenarios or a dynamic yellow beam that enhances contrast in denser conditions.

Land Cruiser’s thoughtfully designed interior is ready to elevate every journey. From the standard Cold Weather Package that warms up the front seats, steering wheel and heated side mirrors, to available premium leather-trimmed seats and more, comfort is at the forefront of the driver’s adventures.

Land Cruiser’s full-time 4-wheel-drive system provides power continuously to the front and rear axles to improve traction and stability on various surfaces. An electronically controlled 2-speed transfer case allows the driver to select the right amount of torque for specific driving conditions.

Three distinct drive modes let drivers instantly tailor their drive with the touch of a button. Sport Mode indulges a driver’s spirited side with the feeling of sharper acceleration, while Eco Mode adjusts throttle input to help maximize efficiency. Normal Mode blends fuel economy with performance.

Land Cruiser’s new powertrain combines hybrid tech with an impressive turbo 4-cylinder hybrid engine to generate an electrifying 326 net combined horsepower with 465 lb.-ft. of torque. Drivers will also find more confidence to cover even more ground with the car’s EPA-estimated 23 combined mpg rating.

From capable roots rises the next generation of off-road excellence — for the seasoned adventurer or aspiring explorer.
