Toyota's iconic Land Cruiser will return to North America next year after a three-year absence.
All three versions — the Land Cruiser 1958, Land Cruiser and the limited-run Land Cruiser First Edition — will be powered by an i-Force Max hybrid powertrain that pairs a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor attached to an eight-speed transmission — playing to Toyota’s strength in hybrids, which are hot sellers in the US.
Hybrid versions of the new SUV will only be available in the U.S. and China, while diesel and gasoline-powered variants will be sold in the Middle East, Europe, Australia and Japan.The latest Land Cruiser will be built on the same platform as several Toyota trucks including the Prado, Sequoia, Tacoma and Tundra, as well as the Lexus LX and GX. The 2024 model will look similar to those offered since 2021 in Japan, where production of the Land Cruiser never ended.
The new First Edition is a proper homage to that spirit, equipped with a roof rack, rock rails, round headlamps and mudflaps. It is the latest in a long line of nostalgic re-releases from carmakers looking to cushion their bottom line with adored products.Ford Motor Co. launched a modern take on the Bronco in 2020 and General Motors Co. electrified its Hummer in 2022. Stellantis NV’s Jeep division, meanwhile, has been making Wranglers since World War II.
