Review and specifications
2025 Toyota Land Cruiser
The redesigned Land Cruiser is smaller, less expensive, and more fuel-efficient than the previous U.S. version. This two-row SUV shares its platform with the upcoming redesigned Lexus GX. It is fitted with a turbocharged, hybrid four-cylinder powertrain shared with other Toyotas. Here the engine is matched to an 8-speed automatic transmission, routing power through a full-time four-wheel-drive system. Peak output is 326 hp and 465 lb.-ft. of torque, and maximum tow capacity is 6,000 pounds. The base trim, dubbed '1958' in an homage to the original Land Cruiser, features nostalgic touches like round headlights, and it puts the focus on value and off-roading. The eponymous mid-level trim steps up the creature comforts, while the top trim ladles on all the extras, from leather upholstery to a roof rack. The Land Cruiser comes with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes AEB with pedestrian, cyclist, and motorcyclist detection. In addition, BSW and RCTW are also standard.

Brand context
About Toyota
Toyota mostly fulfills its reputation for building efficient and exceptionally reliable vehicles. Most of their models do well in our testing, thanks to their impressive fuel economy, comfortable rides, quiet cabins, and ease of getting in and out. All of this makes Toyotas among the best options for used vehicles. The brand was a hybrid pioneer, starting with the original Prius. Toyota has evolved and expanded that technology, and most vehicles in its lineup are available as a hybrid. Toyota also sells a number of plug-in hybrids, which were once called Prime but are now simply referred to as Plug-in. The company also knows how to add a dose of excitement into its lineup. The GR86, GR Corolla, and Supra are legit, fun-to-drive sports cars. However, some models we’ve tested have been disappointing. The company’s EV, the bZ4X SUV, is mediocre.
