Overview
We thought the Land Cruiser was gone forever—mainly because Toyota told us so—but surprise! The off-road champ is back, baby. It shares a platform with the recently redesigned Lexus GX and wears a similarly boxy look, but the Cruiser is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid powertrain making 326 horsepower. (The Lexus employs a 349-hp turbocharged 3.4-liter V-6.) While the previous-generation LC was a full-size SUV, this time around it's been shrunk down to size medium to do battle against other mainstream off-roaders such as the Ford Bronco and the Jeep Wrangler. That strategy also leaves the full-size SUV market open for the Toyota Sequoia. Inside, the Land Cruiser offers seating for five across two rows and offers the requisite infotainment technology to keep modern buyers happy. Toyota even equips it with advanced driver-assistance features since, for most Land Cruiser owners, this truck will serve as both a weekend toy and a weekday commuter. When it's time to hit the trail, the Land Cruiser has the equipment to tackle the rough stuff, including a four-wheel drive system with low-range gearing and locking differentials.
What's New for 2024?
The boxy new Land Cruiser is back for the 2024 model year and it rides on an entirely modernized platform. That means hybrid power and a smaller shape, better for challenging off-road rivals from Ford and Jeep.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Given that this is an entirely modernized generation of the Land Cruiser, Toyota has elected to install a turbocharged hybrid powertrain in place of a naturally aspirated V-8 engine. A turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder is assisted by two electric motors to make 326 horsepower. If this setup sounds familiar, that's because it's similar to the powertrain offered in the Toyota Tacoma. All Land Cruisers come with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system that features a locking center differential, low-range gearing, a crawl control system, and hill descent control. In our initial test drive, we found that the hybrid powertrain provides good torque, and we expect it will be nearly as quick as the V-6-powered Lexus GX550. When we test the Land Cruiser, we'll update this story with 60 mph acceleration results.
