The 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ is shaping up to be a bold and exciting addition to the legendary Land Cruiser family. Originally planned to launch in 2024, the debut has been delayed to early 2026 due to production and certification challenges. Despite the setback, this new compact off-roader is generating strong interest. Toyota is building it to bring rugged off-road capability into a smaller and more affordable package, while staying true to the Land Cruiser’s heritage of durability and adventure.

Toyota first teased this model back in 2023, showcasing a design heavily inspired by the Compact Cruiser EV concept. The result is a bold, boxy, and rugged vehicle that looks ready to take on tough terrain. The Land Cruiser FJ is expected to be slightly bigger than the Corolla Cross but smaller than the RAV4. It will measure around 177 inches in length, 72 inches in width, and 72 inches in height, with a wheelbase of 108 inches. With high ground clearance, chunky off-road tires, and a rear-mounted spare wheel, the FJ is clearly built for adventure.

Unlike many small sport utility vehicles that use a car-like platform, the Land Cruiser FJ is expected to feature a ladder-frame chassis. This design offers better strength and durability for off-road driving. Reports suggest it will share its foundation with the Toyota Hilux Champ, a tough pickup truck known for handling rugged environments. This approach not only supports serious off-road capability but also helps keep costs lower than the larger Land Cruiser models. A four-wheel-drive system with a Torsen limited-slip differential is likely, helping the FJ handle rough trails and challenging surfaces with ease.

Toyota has not confirmed the engine options yet, but several possibilities have been reported. Initially, a mix of gasoline and hybrid powertrains was expected. However, Toyota may focus on offering a gasoline engine first. One likely option is a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 161 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. This engine is already used in the Hilux Champ and some versions of the Land Cruiser. While this powertrain may work well in some regions, buyers in places like North America may expect higher performance.

To meet varying market demands, Toyota might offer additional engines. For example, the RAV4 in North America uses an engine with 203 horsepower, while the Corolla Cross has a 169 horsepower engine. A hybrid version may also be introduced in regions with strict fuel efficiency rules. Although there are rumors about a fully electric version in the future, Toyota has not confirmed those plans.

The global release of the Land Cruiser FJ is now expected in early 2026. In Japan, pricing is expected to start between twenty-six thousand six hundred and thirty thousand United States dollars. For North America, starting prices could be around thirty-five thousand dollars, with top trims possibly reaching over forty-five thousand dollars. Even so, the FJ will remain far more affordable than the full-size Land Cruiser, which starts at fifty-six thousand four hundred fifty dollars in the United States.
