The all-new Toyota Land Cruiser delivers the model’s traditional strengths of quality, durability, and reliability. Engineered to conquer the toughest conditions, this vehicle will take you anywhere and everywhere, returning you safe and sound.

Its strong, purposeful design draws on the Land Cruiser’s rich heritage styling. The new body-on-frame Toyota New Global Architecture GA-F platform provides the foundation for significantly increased rigidity and excellent response, ride, and handling—both on and off-road.

It is the first Land Cruiser to adopt electric power steering and a new disconnecting anti-roll bar system. The re-engineered 2.8-litre turbodiesel engine pairs with a new eight-speed automatic transmission, while a 48 V mild hybrid electric model will join the range in 2025. UK model range and pricing will be announced shortly.

The all-new Land Cruiser 250 is the latest generation of a model that, across more than 70 years, has built an unrivalled reputation for strength, reliability, and the ability to cope with the harshest conditions in all parts of the globe.

The Land Cruiser family has evolved into three parallel series:

The Station Wagon: represented by today’s 300-series, available in regions including Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific.

The Heavy Duty: the world-famous 70-series, celebrating its 40th anniversary, available in African, Middle Eastern, and Pacific markets.

The Light Duty: the range that includes the all-new 250-series, the principal model for Europe.

The first Light Duty model (known as the “Prado” in some regions) joined the global Land Cruiser range in 1985. Since then, its evolution has brought it closer in character to the more luxurious and larger Land Cruiser 300. Development of the 2024 250-series has consciously returned the Land Cruiser to its origins, focusing on its fundamental quality as a practical and affordable vehicle.

Chief Engineer Keita Moritsu explains: “We have changed our perception and believe that this Land Cruiser model should be offered as a practical and affordable off-roader. We resolved that going back to our roots would be core to the Land Cruiser brand going forward.”

The result is an all-new model offering strong, authentic off-road performance, underpinned by its new GA-F platform and frame; excellent functionality for carrying passengers and cargo; enhanced visibility for the driver; and simplicity, with parts designed to be easy to repair or replace with customised items.

The “back to origins” quality is evident in the vehicle design, fusing Land Cruiser heritage with modernity. The robust styling projects reliability, a timeless look, and the functional solid quality associated with the best professional tools.

“This is not simply a homage,” says Chief Designer Yoshito Watanabe. “It interprets these elements in a modern design that evokes the essence of Land Cruiser.”

The Land Cruiser Heritage

The Land Cruiser was born 72 years ago as the “Toyota BJ”, on 1st August 1951. Shortly afterwards, it demonstrated its strength and capabilities by becoming the first vehicle to successfully climb to the sixth station on the slopes of Mount Fuji.

It is perhaps no surprise that its enduring worldwide reputation has made it one of Toyota’s best-selling models, with 11.3 million sales to date*, across more than 170 countries and regions.

*As of June 2023, cumulative and annual sales volumes include the Lexus LX and Lexus GX models.
