Toyota is preparing a major update for the iconic SUV
The Japanese company's press center shared a teaser and then a full release of the new Land Cruiser. The iconic FJ62 body, which was produced in the 80s of the last century, served as the inspiration for the exterior design.
The SUV received an extraordinary "appearance", combining modern and retro motifs. The front part of the model became more "square". Rectangular block elements with DRLs appeared under the headlights.
The new radiator grille also matches the overall style. It has become visually more massive with straight geometric lines. The logo uses the classic lettering of the brand name.

According to the press center, the "fresh" design not only looks more interesting, but also improves the practicality of the Land Cruiser. For example, the high position of the headlights reduces the likelihood of their damage, and the removable corners of the bumpers simplify their repair.
Potential buyers will have two interior configurations to choose from – five- and seven-seater. In the latter, the trunk volume reaches 556 liters. The rear door has a separate glass section and contactless access with an electric drive.
The idea of "off-road convenience" can be traced in the exterior details. For example, Japanese designers decided to use a "horizontal" dashboard. In their opinion, this shape improves visibility, as well as visual contact with the multimedia system screen increased to 12,3 inches.
The influence of the classic Land Cruiser is noticeable in the physical control keys. They are presented in the form of traditional buttons and toggle switches. Some of them have been moved to the central console area.

Among the innovations in the interior, it is worth highlighting the new seats. The lateral support line has been changed, and new materials have been used. In particular, supporters of an eco-friendly lifestyle will appreciate the use of recycled Sumitex plastic.
The updated Land Cruiser will be available with several powertrain configurations. However, Toyota is not yet ready to share all the details regarding the available engines.
The main engine is expected to be a 2,8-liter turbodiesel. The unit's power is 205 hp. It will work in tandem with a new eight-speed automatic transmission.
The improved transmission promises not only to make gear shifts smoother, but also to have a positive effect on fuel consumption. According to preliminary estimates by Toyota, the SUV will require about 10,5 liters per 100 km in mixed mode.

The drive system was also not left without attention. Differentials and electronics were modernized. In the new version of Land Cruiser, locking will be carried out 85% faster than in the previous generation.
In addition to the turbodiesel configuration, Toyota is preparing a 48-volt mild hybrid. However, no details have been provided yet.
The start of sales of Land Cruiser is planned for 2025. Unfortunately, the estimated cost has not yet been announced. It is possible that it will be slightly higher than the previous generation. For comparison, the price tag for the current generation starts at 56 thousand dollars (5,6 million rubles).
