Toyota has officially launched a brand new SUV called Land Cruiser FJ. This model is considered a miniature version of the famous Land Cruiser line, with a distinctive retro design style and promises to be available in some selected markets from mid-2026. The new 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ combines the Land Cruiser's long-standing adventurous spirit with modern, youthful lines. The vehicle is built on a separate body-on-frame chassis platform inherited from the Hilux and Fortuner, but has a significantly more compact size.
With an overall length of 4,575 mm, width of 1,855 mm, height of 1,960 mm and wheelbase of 2,580 mm, the FJ is 348 mm shorter than the Land Cruiser 250, clearly showing its urban orientation and flexibility in operation. Despite being smaller, this SUV still retains its inherent ruggedness, expressed through square lines and large wheel arches. The front design offers two different grille options: a classic style with round lights and a modern style with square lights combined with C-shaped LED strips. The Land Cruiser FJ has square wheel arches, thick side skirts and large D-pillars, which are familiar details on previous generations of Land Cruisers, although they can slightly affect rear visibility. The rear of the car has a large spare wheel with C-shaped taillights and a sturdy rear bumper to reinforce the off-road SUV style. In terms of interior, the Land Cruiser FJ's cabin remains faithful to the philosophy of practicality and ease of use. The vehicle has a digital instrument cluster combined with a large central screen, and mechanical buttons for the air conditioning system are scientifically arranged, providing a friendly experience.
The gear lever area is placed high, surrounded by terrain system control buttons. The second row of seats can slide flexibly to optimize space. In terms of safety equipment, the car owns the new generation Toyota Safety Sense package with many modern driving assistance features. Powering the FJ is a 2.7L 4-cylinder petrol engine coded 2TR-FE, producing 161 horsepower and maximum torque of 246 Nm, with a 6-speed automatic transmission and part-time 4-wheel drive system. This is a familiar engine type in the Southeast Asian market, having been used on the Hilux and Fortuner. Toyota says the chassis has been reinforced to increase body rigidity, improving stability and handling in a variety of driving conditions. It has also conducted extensive off-road testing to ensure the smallest model in the Land Cruiser family retains its "off-road" credentials.
One interesting detail is that Toyota equips the FJ with removable front and rear bumpers, making it easy to replace when damaged and saving on repair costs. The company also suggests a variety of off-road accessories such as snorkels, side steps, ARB roof racks and MOLLE accessory panels in the rear trunk, showing a clear personalization orientation. The new 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ is seen as a testament to the Japanese automaker's smart approach to reviving its heritage in a modest, practical yet attractive way. Not only is it a compact SUV with a nostalgic style, the FJ is also an affirmation that the Land Cruiser spirit has never been lost - it is just wearing a new, younger and more approachable look. Currently, the price of the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 2026 has not been officially announced.
