- Meet the all-new Toyota Land Cruiser!
It’s been 72 years since Toyota released the very first Land Cruiser, and since then there have been over 10 generations of this off-roading legend! The question is, has this new edition been worth the wait?
Well based on looks alone, we’d say it definitely has! The new Land Cruiser rolls up with a retro, boxy design that reminds us of a classic Defender, Suzuki Jimny, and Mercedes G-Class. Whether you’re looking at it from the front, side, or rear, the boxy design is clear to see and we absolutely love it!
What’s more, Toyota will also be releasing a limited edition First Edition model which ramps up the retro style even more! This will arrive with rounded headlamps, as well as the choice of some limited-edition two-tone paint jobs.
While the exterior is keeping things retro, the interior has been notably modernised. It may keep things a bit boxy, but there’s a huge infotainment screen on the dash, a digital drivers display, as well as a large centre console that can even house a fridge.
There are a couple of engine choices available, although they won’t be released in all markets. When it comes to petrol, the entry-level will be a 2.7-litre 4-cylinder with 163hp and 246Nm. There will also be a more powerful 2.4-litre turbo petrol with 281hp and 430Nm, however, both of these won’t be available globally. The entry-level diesel is a 2.8-litre turbo diesel with 204hp and 500Nm, which is pretty similar to the engine from the outgoing Land Cruiser. You can also expect a mild hybrid and full hybrid selection to go on sale in the future.
We don’t know the price yet, but given the last Land Cruiser cost from at least £40,000, you can expect to be paying a bit more for this new model. But will it be worth it?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Sharp design are modern and cool, but boxy and rugged design is timeless!
It's ugly...theres a reason everyone in the Toyota Comment section are slating them. Nobody likes this shitty design
But this one trash.
G wagon alsp boxy but 100× better.

Those crybabies haters...
This new design is amazing...
It's retro, and a proper off roader...
@@cameronlotter1392good! hopefully it'll be in stock for people who actually want to buy it.
Toyota Land Cruiser is so legendary that it will be bought everywhere, no matter what others say. And I really like the new one
A garbage can is reliable. Doesn't mean it's any good haha
Turbo, 4 cylinder, hybrid.
Never, if they're going to give us this junk just go to electric.
The repair bills will be crazy .
Been a Toyota fan my whole life but not with this junk.
For every dollar you say that the pump you're going to spend $100 more in repairs
@@InsaneBimmeroverpriced too. lc200 and lc 300 are way too much overpriced compared to patrol , which is way cheaper and also very reliable
@@InsaneBimmer So having a fancy garbage can that breaks everytime u put garbage in it is better than one that works no matter what????
U must be really dumb.
@@JoedisneyIm curious what makes you think its junk compared to its competitors?
The previous CEO of Toyota said in a boardroom meeting “we aren’t going to build boring cars anymore” and gave design engineers approval to do their own things… the results have been fantastic👏👏
They may crush Honda.
The results are the opposite of fantastic.
Easily the best land cruiser by design most of the land cruisers I find boring
I absolutely love this design. I'm a big fan of the more boxy shaped vehicles and Toyota seems to be hitting that mark in all the right places. As well as making it capable, comfortable and fun to drive all from the factory. I've got a 2020 4Runner and I love it. I always wanted a Landcruiser, they're just so cool
Have you ever seen an aerodynamic military vehicle.
Im the complete opposite. its like a drawing i did at 4 years ol imo
It's the vehicles capabilities that attract me. The look is good also. I am seeing a lot of good qualities in the engine. The only turn-off is the turbocharging of the engine.
@@blackspades0000 I don’t want to bahaha. I’m way more a fan of boxy shaped. The turbo shouldn’t be too bad on your other comment. They could use a little get up and go
@sniper4690 Turbos tend to cause engines to wear out faster. However, since the vehicle is made by Toyota, it may be a long-lasting turbo engine. I like the looks, and I am considering buying one depending on how reasonable the price is.
It looks more like the FJ Cruiser than the Land Cruiser and that is not a bad thing.
that is a bad thing. the fj cruiser was a disgrace
@@Connore1029 No, it wasn't. You are a disgrace. You do realize how much of a minority opinion you have, right? FJ Cruisers are still costing the same as they did when new, even with over 50k miles on them. It's hard to find one for under $40-$30k here in the US.
Well the FJ itself harks back to the FJ40 Land Cruiser design so i’m not complaining
Definitely J70 Prado vibes.
Yea like a larger FJ with a touch of bronco vibes. I love that blue/white paint job. I think putting the spare on the rear door would make it look cooler. The rear is very bland while the front looks very cool.
Honestly, this is hands down the best looking Toyota in a long time and including the GR86. Finally, the brand is stepping up and releasing a lot of interesting cars.
The gr86 is not a Toyota it's a Subaru
@@labourlawact7826 Toyota had a big hand in developing the 86/brz, built in subaru factories tho
I guess they set the bar pretty low
Not sure what they changed but every new Toyota this year looks much better than the earlier line-up; Prius, Yaris Cross and Corolla Cross are all pretty great designs.
@@labourlawact7826 As far as I know the body is Toyota with a Subaru boxer engine.
I'm so happy to see some old features come back again - the classy boxy shape, the physical buttons.
I had always complaints about Japanese cars' look and feel, while they are wonderful, the best performers. Seems now they are improving a lot. This macho, sleek and stylish Toyota Landcruise is testimony to this. Congrats Toyota!
Toyota's designs are just amazing nowadays.
Way better then what Germans are putting out. Mercedes designs looks boring besides the G wagon and BMW…well they fell off. Saw an XM for the first time last month, looks just as bad as the photos. A 2023 Prius looks better then more expensive cars. Think about it.
Edit: The only German Luxury brands that makes good looking cars are Audi and Porsche. Facts 💯
@@yungboicontigo9278 The BMW designers have lost their minds
Here come the toyota boys here to claiming their dogshit slow boring corolla is better than any M5 😂😂
Especially when they get influenced by defender design 😂🎉
@@rkitleliespecially with the 6 series
I am so into that new wave of 80's design in cars)
Yep without a doubt the best era of design.
Yeah you will have to drag Toyota into 21st century kicking and screaming
@@tbrowniscoolyet its still slow. 😂
@@purwantiallan5089 who cares
So glad Toyota is bringing this to the UK didn't think they was going to but looks like they are that's great news 👍😊
Thank you Toyota for not making futuristic robotic designer suvs. We love old school designs ♥️♥️
I'm happy Toyota is dialing it back to the formula they had in the 80s - a straightforward 4x4 utility. I wonder what this means for the 4Runner now that they seem to occupy the same space.
4runner is dead i thought?
@@ChiXPostsTechin US it’s still pretty popular, so much so that they’re usually going for around $15k USD over MSRP in the US, but people want a new 4Runner. It hasn’t been changed since 2013 besides updated tech I think.
4runner is longer than this one and offers a third row too. If one wants something less off-roady than they can go for Highlander. If u want that and a bit larger - Grand highlander and if the full blown flagship - in the US u go for Sequoia, everywhere else - Land crusier 300.
@@ChiXPostsTech they were planning on discontinuing it in the early 2010s but sales skyrocketed. The 6th gen should be past the R&D phase by now so there will be some overlap in the market with the two for the time being once the 6th gen does get released but that probably wont be an issue considering how popular both the vehicles will be.
@@marcoscastellanos1 That's my hope. Take it back to roots.
Always liked the Land Cruisers of old and this doesn’t disappoint . Also the biggest bonus is that it isn’t ridiculously overpriced like the defender !
Because the defenders better 😂
@@ShadowGaming-ot6yfHow?
@@mauripekkarinen1 better engine selection for a start. The technology the defender has is insane. The Toyota is also a brilliant off roader tho!!
@@ShadowGaming-ot6yfYeah, I agree with the engines and the tech. Nothing beats a big V8 in a big suv. Also would be more reliable than a small turbo engine. Though I'd still have the Toyota just for the dependability alone. I feel like a rugged off-roader doesn't need to be a drag monster with 600 hp and more tech than NASA.
@@mauripekkarinen1 A Land Rover v8 has never been and never will be more reliable than any Toyota .
Goodbye Defender resale 😂😂😂
Toyota is spot on with this one. Not too big and not too small for an SUV. perfect! Jimny owners will love her.❤
I love the retro modern look on the exterior and I am so happy they finally UPDATED THAT interior especially the dash and infotainment . That's what Toyota lacked I hope all their new models gets updated infotainment like this land cruiser absolutely stunning
The prevoiuse Landcruiser in the UK was a Prado renamed as Landcruiser. Toyota stopped selling land cruisers! the real ones in UK decades ago. For example, this is last year's model which is better then the new one. ruclips.net/video/Zt2QgP1EAc0/видео.html
Toyota has been going absolutely nuts 😍❤️❤️ or should I say BONKERS !!! Glad Toyota have finally made not just cosmetic changes but also layed their fingers on improving the performance !!
Agree.
I love it. I drive a 2006 LC3 which I still think looks awesome and I haven’t upgraded it because until now there was nothing out there I preferred. And I’m including the more recent shape in that because I think they spoiled it; with the larger body and flush arches the wheels look kind of “tucked in” like a bus, and the smaller grille adds to the nondescript image. A 4x4 needs to look bold and rugged for me, and the earlier LC3 ticked that box with the sculpted wide arches and aggressive grille layout. This new J250 definitely fits that bill. Whatever the new price will be, it will be a good investment because these trucks not only go forever (I’m on 300k miles and going strong) they also have a timeless look, especially this new one. So depending on what our Eco-obsessed government decides to do, and depending on whether the hybrid version will be available, this could be the last vehicle you need to buy for a very, very long time.
Toyota is going to make a fortune off these. They’re awesome looking and exactly what people want 😊
NOBODY asked for the massive engine downgrade.
It’s really not exactly what people want. It’s smaller, less luxurious and has a high output 4 cylinder hybrid.
I absolutely love this! Especially the 70 model! That thing looks so retro I want one now
LOL.😂
the aftermarket accessories for these are going to look amazing
Well this one looked cool.
Let's hope so
It’s like a Defender, just reliable. Love it ❤
Really really beautiful Land Cruiser! I'm looking forward to get one!
It looks like a sharper FJ Cruiser. Looks great!
Exactly, I said finally a 4 door FJ
Looks like a lr defender💀
It’s a really welcome redesign, the new boxy design is both retro and modern. That two tone blue with white roof looks smashing 😎
looks great now that you've made a review about it. you just have a way of making cars look beautiful
I love it! Especially the retro head lights one
Can’t wait to see this in a carwow off road test va defender or discovery.
Yep. I also cant wait for that.
All 3 Land Cruiser variants released are great looking.
The LC 70 and both LC Prado / 250 variants all look great.
Love them. Best looking in its class.
Stunning Design In And Out👍
Good Job Toyota!
Absolutely Legendary Vehicle 👏
Love the design! A beautiful block on wheels ❤
Wtf those first edition lights are amazing. They should keep them. 😮😮😮😮
they remind me of the Land Rover Defender (current gen)
@@Proparkourgamer and the FJ Cruiser too
@@Proparkourgamerand also a mix of Cherokee and Ford Espace.
Ugly trash.
They just rebranded FJ cruiser to Land cruiser.
FJ cruiser was discontinued.
I think they will bring them back later with a higher priced model. Or at least I hope they will!
I love how it shares a lot of its design language with the old land cruisers from the 90s-00s
The Land Cruiser gotta reminded me a lot to even Escalade.
Reminds me a lot of my 80 series Land Cruiser.
That'll be my 3rd Landcruiser then. Love these things, and they keep getting better
Toyota well known for durability & reliability & now for design 👏🏻👏🏻 they will be # one for quite long
Never been a huge Toyota fan, nor do I offroad, but I really like this purpose built offroader, I can see myself buying one at some point
Can I sleep in it? What is the cargo length with rear seats folded flat?
@@ranjithpowell6791You can sleep in anything if you try hard enough.
@@user-pn3im5sm7k ive slept in a smart car
Digging the LC70 as well. Have the older Prado and the FJ. Loving this too.
The old LC GX had KDSS that was following the low gear serie and gave the same result in difficult terrain as the new swaybar disconnect
I could see them reviving the FJ Cruiser with this new design language. Loving these!
FJ Cruiser 2.5?
One can dream lol
The fact it starts mid 50's in the US is the best part.
But people are still whining that it’s “overpriced” when it undercuts the 2021 model by almost $20k
@@chaarleessthe 2023 Land Cruiser may cost $500.000.
coz its not real land cruiser! its lite version of land cruiser known as prado in international market
Especially at 5:57 it looks like a baby Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and the rear lights are also very similar. Cute
I’m already so in love with the design
The new Prado looks really great, timeless retro design!
I will miss the Prado, I love the new Prado, I don't know why do they have to discontinue it😭
@@Mu5tyLaghmani it will be called the prado in some countries so it's the same really
It literally is the Prado. Shares the platform with the GX as usual.
I really love this model. Strong, economy, new design. I think finally, my dream come true.
Nice design. The round headlights will be very popular to retro-fit.
All Land Cruiser models are available here in South Africa, from the Prado to the 300 to the 700, even the big Lexus is available here, so I am sure this model is definitely coming to SA.
Yes it is coming to South Africa and even with the V8 motor
They make Right hand drive Lexus' for SA market? Thought Lexus was a spin-off for the US market only?
@@timo.5449lots of Lexus here.. their all right hands
Don't forget 70 serios
@@timo.5449you get the right hand drive Lexus LX here in Kenya too ... Though it costs in the tunes of $350 to 400k
This looks incredible, particularly with the round LEDs on the headlights
Love the look of this new Land Cruiser, bet the reliability will be to love too.
Toyota is back on track with the body aesthetics. Boxy is the way to go for 4x4 utility vehicles, no matter how luxurious. The previous models just looked 'not fit for purpose' and really comical, like the 'apron' grill on the lexus.
This is going to be such a hit everything a 4x4 should be
Looks Awesome🌟👌
In the US the 1st addition models have rectangular headlights and the budget version has the round headlights and it's called the Land Cruiser 58.
I prefer this look to the bigger 300. I really do
What a stunner!! Well done Toyota, great design of a classic. Definitely would love to buy one
Matt, you forgot to mention the 10 year warranty that Toyota are currently offering if you let them do the servicing 😉
The off road suv king 👑 is back
You are the first person who explain whats happening with both land cruisers. I love your channel
Looks cool retro and will be reliable, which most other carmakers just cannot offer!
The Boxy shape reminds me of the Defender 90 and that's not a bad thing.
I would like the old big backdoor ( hinges at one side) with the sparewheel mounted !
Woah that looks awesome with both types of the headlights! I'm not an off-roader person but damn I like how these look. Great job, Toyota
Ok, this looks fantastic! I was never a huge Toyota fan since most of my family bought them for as long as I can remember, but I have started to join the Toyota train in recent years thanks to the GR stuff. But this Land Cruiser 250 is absolutely spectacular! I love the retro-inspired styling and the aggressive interior. The new Toyota design language is really paying off, I mean, just look at the new Tacoma and Tundra - neither of which are in my country. I cannot wait to see what the new Hilux and Fortuner will look like. I just wish Toyota would add some more exciting engines.
like this over the $80k sequoia TRD PRO luxury car the red row in the TRD PRO takes up to much space when folded down
The legendary SUV that I have always liked A LOT and probably will buy (eventually. Nicely done Toyota
My father got his Land Cruiser in 1982 when i was 10.
I've also got a Land Cruiser as soon as i could afford one in 2002 and I'm on my 5th one now.
Not ever looked back, never a regret 😊
Maybe this will be my 6th 😅😅😅 soon
Love the design
Always loved Land Cruiser's. Would have this in a heartbeat.
Toyota design department is producing some really cool stuff lately. I never thought I would be saying that. From Supra to CHR to these new LC’s.
I had hoped they would give it the V6 in the Lexus GX. The 2.8 Diesel is a tad underpowered considering it's what most people outside of North America go for. But overall, it's a very welcome and good-looking refresh for the Prado.
They need to drop the 3.5L V6 twin turbo diesel option in it.
It’s got more torque than the v8 🤷🏼♂️
@@mtscott and sounds way better too.
@makatron 2.8 is not fully utilized it is good for mad power and people have actually achieved it reliably. It needs a good state of tune
@@aldrinpabraham6932 here in DR they work some magic on it to make it drive tiny tires (40 inch) like a beast.
My brother-in-law had an FJ40 (circa 1980). It was huge and had massive tyres. But then his family are from the centre of Bali and back then roads were few and far between. If you wanted to move passengers/goods, you could only do that with a vehicle like a Land Cruiser. As Bali developed and roads got built the need diminished. He now drives a Honda Jazz 😉👍
We used to have 2 V8 Land Cruisers brand new back in 1999 up until 2005, fantastic cars. I remember my father doing 40mph on speed bumps when he was in a rush and the air suspension just made the car float. Shame the V8 got fazed out.
They've nailed the design, looks fantastic
Love the look, might get this after test driving it.
Wow it looks stunning! Good job Toyota
Yep. Looks stunning yet the engine still not reliable enough. 😂
@@purwantiallan5089 It's a series car that has been in development for over 70 years, so there shouldn't be any problems. Above all, it is made in Japan and the output is sufficient.
Great clip Mat - I do like the new LandCruiser 250 Series too. Note that we can & do buy the 300 Series down here in Australia, though waitlist times currently can stretch to 3 years on some variants. Also, the Etch-A-Sketch was/is able to draw not-straight lines, even as evidenced by the wheels & tyres shown by your "Toyot-A-Sketch" at 2:06, der. Keep up the great work
We only get the Lexus version of the LC300 here in the US (Canada is the same). They are not that difficult to find on dealer lots though.
That's the coolest SUV made in the last 25 years! Buying one for sure.
It looks absolutely outstanding but this is the more offroad version, It will be interesting how the luxurious one will look
Well this one looked different.
Looks Clean and Classic👍🏼
Body-on-frame. Back to the future....fantastic !
I love the boxy designs coming back to SUV's! These look so good! That being said, I'd probably take a 4Runner over one of these just because of cost...
The Prado comes from the elite Toyota 'Land Cruiser' dna breed; it's a much, much better car and the price justifies it.
My ‘94 Land Cruiser got a 4.2L straight 6 engine. This is nothing compared to that. Old days were good.
It's not old like the old one! MERRH!!
@nomenclature9607465 only momentarily, which is why it can only tow 6k. It needs the batteries and engine to make that power, so it can only maintain that power for a short time. The engine alone makes 317ft lbs, which is not much for something that will likely weigh 5,500+lbs.
The 1HZ motor will never pass emissions in European and American countries
Absolutely love this! Cant wait to see these on the road. Shame they don't get detuned V6's from the 300 though. Also pity they still continue with the gutless 2.7l petrol, they really struggle in Nairobi (5000ft above sealevel.)
The 2TR engine is lethargic but lasts forever, that's why they have stuck with it.
Such a cool comment! Here in South Africa, we only get the 2.8 diesel, no petrol motor for us.
@@marcelmotorzoneza9626 Africa will almost exclusively get the diesel only, I'll be surprised if they bother with the petrols.
You wanna see hundreds of these bullying through past traffic? 😭
@@marcelmotorzoneza9626we don't want the petrol ones here in South Africa the gas hogs
Yes, they didnt let us down, awesome new LC, love it
I own the toyota LC300 middle east edition in twin turbo edition and its spectacular and the best selling car since its launch in 2022, excited to see how the new LC250 will be once its available
Awesome design❤
Always been the best i love toyotas approach to everything
Me encanta este nuevo modelo de la Land Cruiser de los mas bonitos de esta epoca bien por Toyota
Welcome back proper offroader💪😁
Very good looking Land Cruiser. More importantly, it looks rugged and fun as a modern 4x4 that is more affordable than the previous generation LC.
Looks good. Retro and modern at the same time!
मुझे तो यह गाड़ी रोल्स रॉयस कल्लिनान जैसी लगी पता नहीं क्यों।😅😅
I love this new modern design style, I love the look of the BMW m2 which looks similar design wise, and I hope manufactures follow this formula of making better, more reliable and capable cars at an affordable price
This looks unique and amazing 🤩
Love it they still make a 2 door would be awesome
Beautiful car 🚙 I love it the Land Cruiser 👍👍👍
It's STUNNING!
I LOVE that boxy designs are back
It is good to see a return to more practical boxy shapes for 4x4 vehicles. As a Discovery 5 owner, I really hope that Land Rover get the hint and that the successor (Discovery 6?) returns to a styling reminiscent of the Discovery 4. Toyota have done really well with the design of the Prado and the 70 series and as all three Land Cruiser variants will now be available here in Japan. The until now very boring Japanese 4x4 market has suddenly become far more interesting. Even the Mitsubishi Triton is making a return to Japan although due to anal Japanese regulations, it is a hard buy because of the humongous running costs involved in owning a '1 number' (commercial vehicle designation on number plate) vehicle is not practical for most. Mitsubishi need to bring out a new Pajero which would be a '3 number' designation and far, far cheaper to own.
Land Rovers of pieces of crap don't compare them to land Cruisers
The best thing about this Land Cruiser is that it’s not too off-road oriented like the Bronco, Jeep Wrangler or Jimny and it’s not too soft like many modern SUVs. It’s like a suitable package for both going shopping and going off-road
