2024 Toyota Land Cruiser: This Is It

The standard Cruiser has bar headlights, like more recent classic Land Cruisers, but the 1958 and First Edition trims get even more retro-looking rounded lamps. Without having seen either in person yet, my vote would be for the round lights. If you’re gonna get a retro off-roader, go all in.

While the looks may be retro, the engineering beneath them is certainly not. For the first time since the 100 Series’ introduction in 1998, the Land Cruiser no longer has a V8 engine beneath its hood. Instead, all 2024 Cruisers will come with a 2.4-liter four cylinder mated to a hybrid drivetrain. Now, before you get all concerned, remember that hybrid power is a replacement for displacement: Toyota claims 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, as well as a 6,000-pound tow rating on all models.

If Toyota Sold the FJ Cruiser Today It Would Be Such a Hit

The new Cruiser has an updated Multi-Terrain Select feature, which tunes traction control to accommodate for varying surfaces off-road. It also gets an 8-inch infotainment display, upgradeable to 12.3 inches for the fancier models. Every trim gets keyless start, though remote start from Toyota’s mobile app is locked behind a subscription. Can’t win ‘em all, I guess.

The Toyota Land Cruiser is the ultimate all-around vehicle. It’ll take you and the family on a road trip across the country, blending in at every destination along the way, just as easily as it’ll take a hardcore off-road enthusiast through the deepest of trails. At least, it was the ultimate all-rounder — before Toyota killed the model off in the United States back in 2021.
