What’s New for 2025?

• The First Edition trim has been discontinued, focusing the lineup on the three core grades: 1958, Land Cruiser, and Premium Package. 
• Core hybrid mechanics and off-road hardware remain unchanged from 2024. 

The 2025 model is “the original adventure vehicle, ready to help take you wherever you want to go,” emphasizing continuity in capability.

Performance & Capability

Both model years share Toyota’s powerful 2.4 L turbo hybrid i-FORCE MAX engine:

• 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque
• Full-time 4WD with center and rear locking differentials, Crawl Control, Downhill Assist, and Multi-Terrain Select/Monitor systems. 
• Capable of towing up to 6,000 lb, benefiting from hybrid torque for trail and towing demands.

The consistency in powertrain and off-road setup ensures the same legendary Land Cruiser performance across both years.
