“I'm disappointed the middle seats do not slide forward. The rear storage is significantly smaller than my Grand Highlander.”
2024 Toyota Land Cruiser: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2024 is the Land Cruiser’s all-new redesign and return to the U.S. It moves to the 250-series platform with a standard turbo-hybrid powertrain, full-time four-wheel drive, and three trims.
About the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser
250 series, first U.S. model year of the all-new redesign.
Toyota positions the 2024 Land Cruiser as its original SUV: a durable, highly capable off-roader with heritage design cues, modern safety tech, and enough comfort for everyday use. Compared with the last U.S.-market Land Cruiser, this one is smaller, more maneuverable, and less luxury-first. Its core appeal is serious trail hardware, standard hybrid torque, full-time 4WD, and Toyota’s long-standing reputation for durability and reliability.
The 2024 lineup ranges from the back-to-basics 1958 trim to the better-equipped Land Cruiser grade and limited First Edition. The 1958 has round headlights, fabric seats, and an 8-inch touchscreen, while the Land Cruiser grade adds 12.3-inch displays, extra terrain tools, and heated and ventilated front seats. The First Edition combines comfort features with heritage styling, rock rails, and a front skid plate.
What changed, by category
Structural
The Land Cruiser returns on Toyota’s 250-series TNGA-F body-on-frame platform as a complete redesign.
Powertrain
Every trim uses a 2.4-liter turbo-hybrid powertrain with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Full-time four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, and locking center and rear differentials are standard.
Styling
The redesigned lineup blends a boxy shape with heritage details. The 1958 and First Edition use round LED headlights and a classic TOYOTA grille.
Safety
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, the brand’s driver-assistance and collision-avoidance suite, is standard across the lineup.
Tech
The new three-trim lineup includes an 8-inch touchscreen in the 1958 and 12.3-inch displays in the Land Cruiser grade. Upper trims add equipment such as trail cameras, a head-up display, premium audio, and a digital rearview mirror.

“Owning the Land Cruiser is an overall great experience. Don't plan on enjoying the 4 cylinder engine sound when it's working but do plan on great torque, a comfortable ride, super visibility and lots of compliments from strangers on overall appearance.”
