Toyota Land Cruiser FJ will likely be slotted below the Fortuner in the brand’s lineup, based on the IMV 0 architecture
The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ will be one of the most significant launches from Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) in years, adding a brand-new locally manufactured original Toyota product to the line-up. However, even though it will be made in India, it is likely to be an expensive product priced at a high premium.
Featuring a body-on-frame structure and measuring 4,610 mm in length, 1,855 mm in width, and 1,890 mm in height, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ could put in the same category as the Mahindra Scorpio-N. It’s a much more compact vehicle on the inside, though, with a short wheelbase spanning 2,580 mm.
Toyota Land Cruiser FJ is expected to cost around Rs. 30 lakh (ex-showroom) in the base trim. The top configuration could easily touch Rs. 40 lakh (ex-showroom), with reports stating TKM is planning not only an ICE variant but also full-hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants.

For now, Toyota has engineered the Land Cruiser FJ with only the 2TR-FE 2.7-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, tuned to produce 164 hp and 245 Nm of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission and a part-time 4WD system send drive to the wheels. There are rumours that Toyota plans to introduce an upgraded version of the 1GD-FTV 2.8-litre turbodiesel engine sometime in 2029.
On the outside, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ features LED headlamps, LED front and rear fog lamps, 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 265/60 R18 tyres, part-LED tail lamps, and a side-hinged tailgate with a centre-mounted spare wheel. Toyota does not offer a sunroof in the Land Cruiser FJ, although hardcore off-road enthusiasts, the model’s core target audience, are unlikely to view that as a drawback.

A semi-digital instrument cluster with a 7-inch driver information display, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a dual-zone automatic climate control system are some of the key interior features of the Land Cruiser FJ. Seven airbags, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, Pre-Collision System, and a 360º camera system are some of the main safety features.
