New 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser sticks to its rugged off-road roots
The world’s bestselling off-road vehicle has been updated, and the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser’s all-wheel drive is as tough as ever
From the dunes of Dubai to the vastness of the North American West, fans around the world have been waiting for the latest edition of the Toyota Land Cruiser.
Over the years, competitors such as the Mercedes G-Class and the Land Rover Defender have veered into lifestyle and luxury territory, but the Land Cruiser has enjoyed a reputation for unmatched durability, reliability and off-road prowess.
The new model continues the vehicle’s rugged roots, while embracing modern technology.
Built on Toyota’s TNGA-F platform, which is shared with models like the Tundra and Sequoia, the retro-inspired looks are a nod to previous models like the angular J4, built from the 1960s to the 1980s, while integrating new hybrid power trains, improved fuel efficiency and modern connectivity.
Many Land Cruisers will never go off-road, as their owners are content to cruise the streets of Beverly Hills or Monaco, yet this car inspires a sense of adventure. It comes at a price, though: the new model is priced in Europe from €67,990 (US$71,000) and in the United States from US$56,700.
