Trims and Value
Toyota celebrated the Land Cruiser’s return in 2024 with a First Edition trim, which has been discontinued for 2025. This leaves the 2025 Land Cruiser with a two-trim lineup, each with distinct styling and features. The Land Cruiser 1958 serves as the base model but is far from basic, which is expected of the Land Cruiser name.
Land Cruiser 1958
Starting at $56,450, the Land Cruiser 1958 is well-equipped and offers the amenities, performance, and luxuries expected of the SUV.[a] Toyota equips the base trim with its i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, a full-time four-wheel drive system, and a smooth-shifting eight-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission. The trim is also instantly recognizable by its 18-inch dark gray metallic alloy wheels and the Land Cruiser’s signature circular LED headlights.
Toyota adds more value to the Land Cruiser 1958 by equipping it with components that heighten its agility on and off the pavement and enhance your comfort and experience behind the wheel. For example, the model features rear and center locking differentials and a 2400W AC inverter, all must-haves in an off-road SUV. The base model is also equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite of safety and driver-assist tools and an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Land Cruiser
Upgrading to the Land Cruiser adds more exterior colors, including two-tone paint schemes like Heritage Blue and Grayscape. The top-tier trim offers more technologies, premium finishes, and trail-ready components. The illuminated entry adds to the Land Cruiser’s ambiance and sets the stage for the SofTex-trimmed seats and the expansive 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen.
The Land Cruiser swaps the SUV’s signature circular headlights for rectangular LEDs and adds Rigid Industries color-selectable LED fog lights. Toyota also offers you more control over the Land Cruiser’s performance and heightens its maneuverability. The model features a stabilizer disconnect mechanism, Multi-Terrain Monitor, and Multi-Terrain Select with modes like Dirt, Sand, Mud, Rock, and Deep Snow.
Performance
The 2025 Land Cruiser lives up to and exceeds every expectation of capability under the Toyota marquee. The SUV is built on the TNGA-F global truck platform, which is engineered to improve handling, maneuverability, and capability. The Land Cruiser’s rigid frame ensures it can navigate extreme conditions, working seamlessly with the SUV’s exceptional off-road components and potent heartbeat.
The Standard i-FORCE MAX Hybrid Engine
The Land Cruiser’s heartbeat in 2025 is Toyota’s i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a full-time four-wheel drive system. The i-FORCE MAX engine expertly balances power delivery and efficiency as a hybrid, producing 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of near-instant torque. This output ensures the Land Cruiser is agile at any speed without compromising its efficiency, which Toyota estimates is 23 MPG combined.
Off-Road Enhancements
While the Land Cruiser turns heads on the pavement, it’s also at home on the trail. Toyota honors the Land Cruiser’s penchant for adventure and equips the SUV with many standard and available off-road components. The SUV features center and rear-locking differentials on both trims, helping the Land Cruiser maintain traction on slippery terrain. Adding the front stabilizer bar disconnect mechanism gives you more control and improves the Land Cruiser’s articulation at the touch of a button.
For those ready to blaze a new trail, the Land Cruiser is more than capable, thanks to features like CRAWL Control, the Multi-Terrain Monitor, and Multi-Terrain Select. The Multi-Terrain Monitor serves as an extra set of eyes to help maneuver the Land Cruiser around downed trees, over boulders, or everyday obstacles. The CRAWL Control feature has five selectable speeds and works like a low-speed cruise control. You can also navigate through the Multi-Terrain Select system and choose various drive modes, like Mud, Dirt, and Sand, to finetune the Land Cruiser’s performance to the situation and your preference.
Interior
The 2025 Land Cruiser is equally adventurous and luxurious. As an iconic off-roader, the Land Cruiser can venture off the pavement, but Toyota ensures that answering the call of the wild doesn’t diminish your comfort or that of your passengers. The Land Cruiser embodies luxury, from the retro-inspired Land Cruiser 1958 to the top-tier Land Cruiser.
Cabin Features
Luxury in the Land Cruiser starts with premium seating throughout the two-row layout. The Land Cruiser 1958 is trimmed in high-quality fabric seating, with the front row seats heated to complement the heated steering wheel. Automatic climate control adds another layer of comfort in the front row, while the standard six-speaker sound system and center touchscreen give the cabin a modern aesthetic and keep you and your passengers connected and entertained.
The Available Premium Package
The top-tier Land Cruiser swaps the fabric seating for Toyota’s SofTex leather-trimmed, heated, and ventilated front seats. It adds an expansive 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with four styles and customizable widgets. You can take luxury to the next level with the Premium Package, which adds lumbar support and driver memory seats. It also exchanges the Land Cruiser’s 10-speaker system with a 14-speaker setup from JBL and adds a head-up display, digital rearview mirror, power moonroof, center console cooling box, and illuminated entry.
Cargo and Passenger Space
Toyota enhances the Land Cruiser’s versatility in 2025 by adding integrated liftgate lights, improving cargo area visibility. The addition is significant, especially with the Land Cruiser offering 46.2 cu.ft. of space behind the second row and 82.1 cu.ft behind the first. This spaciousness guarantees plenty of room for camping and other gear without compromising your passenger’s comfort since head and legroom are ample across both rows. In the front row, you and your copilot have 40.1 inches of headroom and 43 inches of legroom. Rear passengers have plenty of room to relax, thanks to reclining rear seats that provide 39.3 inches and 36.7 inches of head and legroom.
Technology
Connectivity and Screen Options
There’s no shortage of innovative technologies in the 2025 Land Cruiser. Toyota equips the SUV with the latest connectivity, safety, driver-assist, and trail-ready tools to keep you connected and heighten your situational awareness on and off the pavement. Many of these technologies are centralized in the newest version of the Toyota Audio Multimedia system, which is accessible via an 8-inch or 12.3-inch touchscreen display.
The Land Cruiser’s center touchscreen offers seamless connectivity via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can also use the display to access the Land Cruiser’s Multi-Terrain Monitor, which serves as a virtual spotter and can be incredibly useful on the trail. Beyond this functionality, the center touchscreen complements the Land Cruiser’s optional 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, which features four styles and customizable widgets. It’s also where you’ll find alerts from the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
The 2025 Land Cruiser comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which features upgraded technologies and tools like the digital rearview mirror and head-up display. The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 equips the Land Cruiser with automatic high beams, Proactive Driving Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection. With Toyota updating these features for 2025, the technologies are more intuitive than ever.
Cruising at highway speeds is easy with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, which offers Full-Speed Range capability for 2025 and lets you maneuver in stop-and-go traffic. The trail-ready alternative is CRAWL Control, a low-speed off-road cruise control with five selectable speeds. Additional enhancements include an Emergency Driving Stop System that works with Lane Tracing Assist to monitor your attentiveness behind the wheel and safely bring the Land Cruiser to a stop if you’re unresponsive. You’ll also find technologies like Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Hill Start Assist Control, and a Blind Spot Monitor.
