2025 Toyota Land Cruiser: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser is that the one-year First Edition is gone, leaving the 1958 and Land Cruiser trims. Otherwise, this is a light update rather than a redesign.
About the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser
250-series Land Cruiser, second U.S. model year after the 2024 reintroduction
Toyota positions the Land Cruiser as a heritage-rich, body-on-frame SUV built for serious trail use without giving up everyday comfort. The pitch centers on standard hybrid torque, full-time 4WD, locking differentials, and classic Land Cruiser design cues, wrapped in a smaller and easier-to-live-with package than the old U.S.-market Land Cruiser. For most buyers, it is an adventure-focused family SUV: rugged enough for remote trails, but modern enough for commuting, road trips, and daily errands.
The 1958 is the back-to-basics trim, with round LED headlights, fabric seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, and the same turbo-hybrid engine and full-time 4WD as the upper trim. The Land Cruiser grade is more polished, with rectangular headlights, heated and ventilated SofTex front seats, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a power liftgate, and off-road camera views.
