2025 Toyota Land Cruiser slims the lineup

Following its reintroduction to the U.S. for the 2024 model year, the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser arrives at dealerships in late October essentially unchanged.

Last year’s top-spec First Edition has run its course, leaving only the base Land Cruiser 1958 grade and an unnamed grade above it, priced at $57,900 and $63,900, respectively. Both prices include a mandatory $1,450 destination charge. Prices have increased by $455 over the comparable 2024 models.

Named after the year the Land Cruiser debuted in the U.S., the 1958 grade includes standard features like heated front seats an 8.0-inch touchscreen, 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a 6-speaker audio system. The higher-level Land Cruiser grade has a 12.3-inch touchscreen and instrument cluster, as well as a 10-speaker audio system.

An optional Premium Package for the Land Cruiser grade adds a digital rearview mirror, head-up display, moonroof, cooled center console bin, 14-speaker JBL audio system and leather upholstery—the latter previously available only on the one-year-only First Edition grade.

Every Land Cruiser uses the same hybrid powertrain. A 2.4-liter turbo-4 works with an electric motor to produce 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. That output is routed through an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard full-time four-wheel drive with a 2-speed electronically shifted transfer case. A disconnecting front stabilizer bar is also available.

Known as the 250 series, the U.S.-spec Land Cruiser is smaller than the 300 series sold in other markets, but it’s based on a derivative of the same TNGA-F body-on-frame platform. That platform is also shared with several other U.S.-market models, including the similar-size Lexus GX and Toyota 4Runner. With those two off-road SUVs in the lineup as well, perhaps Toyota doesn’t need an extensive lineup of Land Cruiser trim levels.
