Diesel power only at first, but mild-hybrid to follow
There’s more clever tech in the suspension, which now comes with a Stabiliser with Disconnection Mechanism — this is an anti-roll bar which stops the Land Cruiser flopping over in corners, but which at the flick of a switch can be disconnected when off-reading to ensure maximum freedom of movement for the wheels.
The big news, though, is the styling. Gone is the toothy grille and gently curved look of the current model, and in comes unashamedly retro design which clearly references the styling of classic Land Cruiser models. In fact, you’ll actually be able to choose which classic Land Cruiser you’d like to reference as there will be a choice of round headlight versions or a square headlight look which draws on the eighties FJ80.
Power, at least initially, will come from the same 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel engine as you’ll find in the current HiLux pickup, providing 204hp. An eight-speed automatic gearbox will be standard. In 2025, we will at long last see the first hybrid-engined Land Cruiser, although this will be a mere mild-hybrid, and not one of Toyota’s hugely successful parallel hybrids.
