The New 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser

i-FORCE MAX Hybrid Power

The 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser is the first Land Cruiser sold in North America to offer a hybrid powertrain as its sole engine option—and it’s a remarkable one. The i-FORCE MAX system combines a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine with a 48-horsepower electric motor integrated directly into the eight-speed automatic transmission. Together, the system generates 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, delivering strong, low-end pull that’s ideal for climbing trails or effortlessly merging onto the highway.

Unlike traditional hybrid systems that prioritize fuel economy over performance, the i-FORCE MAX is engineered to enhance both. The electric motor delivers immediate torque off the line, while the turbocharged engine maintains strong output at higher speeds. The result is an SUV that tows up to 6,000 pounds, earns an EPA-estimated 23 MPG combined—the highest combined rating in Land Cruiser history—and still feels planted and composed on the trail.

Full-time four-wheel drive is standard on every 2026 Land Cruiser, featuring a two-speed electronically controlled transfer case and standard center and rear locking differentials. Three drive modes—Normal, Sport, and Eco—let drivers tailor throttle response and transmission behavior to match their route and driving style.

Heritage Design, Modern Cabin

The 2026 Land Cruiser’s exterior design draws directly from its heritage. Toyota’s CALTY Design Research studio crafted a bold, squared-off silhouette with repositioned A-pillars that improve forward visibility on the trail. Both trim levels feature all-LED exterior lighting, athletic fender flares, and the iconic heritage “TOYOTA” lettered grille. The Land Cruiser 1958 celebrates the original FJ25 with round LED headlights, while the Land Cruiser grade features slim rectangular LED headlights inspired by the classic FJ62. Available 20-inch wheels and a silhouette-shaped roof rack round out the adventure-ready exterior.

Inside, the cabin is designed for both comfort and practicality. The 1958 trim comes with an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, while the Land Cruiser grade upgrades to a 12.3-inch display paired with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility come standard across all trim levels.

Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility are standard on all models. Available Qi wireless charging keeps devices powered without a cable. The available JBL® Premium Audio System brings 14 speakers for a concert-quality listening experience on any terrain.

Additional available features on the Land Cruiser grade include heated and ventilated front seats with premium leather or SofTex® upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, a power liftgate, a center-console cooler, and an impressive 2,400-watt AC power inverter in the cargo area for running electronics on extended adventures. A Head-Up Display, Toyota Digital Key, and Wi-Fi hotspot are all available through the Premium Package.
