Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Unveiled: Mini Fortuner Design, Engine, Features

Toyota has finally unveiled the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ (2025 Land Cruiser FJ) at the Japan Mobility Show 2025. The new FJ model is the spiritual predecessor of the prestigious FJ40, but with modern appeal and a more affordable size. The big question now is whether Toyota will bring this new baby Land Cruiser to India – a market that has recently shown tremendous demand for lifestyle SUVs. In India, it is also referred to as the Mini Fortuner.

Body-on-frame machine. At first glance, the FJ establishes itself as a proper body-on-frame machine. Toyota has built it on the IMV platform, which has already been extensively used for the Fortuner and Hilux, increasing the likelihood of its launch in India. Its length is 4,575 mm, width 1,855 mm, height 1,960 mm, and wheelbase 2,580 mm.

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Engine and Performance

2.7-litre 2TR-FE petrol engine FJ uses a 2.7-litre 2TR-FE petrol engine, which is paired with a 6-speed Super ECT automatic gearbox. Output figures are around 163 PS and 246 Nm, which are not headline-grabbing numbers, but the reputation for durability of this motor matters here. Toyota wants the FJ to appeal to consumers who value reliability, practicality, and the ability to go anywhere.

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Design details

Design is another area where Toyota has deliberately emphasised nostalgia. Thick straight lines, a boxy greenhouse, and round elements on the face make it instantly recognisable. What is even more interesting is that it offers removable bumpers, wide cladding, exposed hardware, and plenty of room for bolt-on accessories for easy swapping or repairs.

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Length, Height & wheelbase

The new Land Cruiser FJ's design pays tribute to the old FJ40 generation. Its boxy profile, improved stance, and short overhangs make it a true off-roader.

• Height: In terms of dimensions, it measures 4,575 mm in length, 1,855 mm in width, and 1,960 mm in height.
• Short wheelbase: his wheelbase is about 270 mm shorter than the Land Cruiser 250, giving the FJ a naturally 5.5-meter turning radius. It is likely to arrive in 2027 or later and will fit below the Fortuner in the category. Under the hood, Toyota has relied on a workhorse rather than pursuing turbocharged units.

Land Cruiser FJ Interior and Features

It has a 5-seater layout with elevated seats providing a better road view. The dashboard is simple and all-black with a horizontal instrument panel. A large touchscreen infotainment system is located at the centre, supporting smartphone connectivity (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto).

Toyota's focus is on the 'joy of mobility', making it perfect for both daily use and off-road. However, it comes with a practical cabin that prioritises adventure.

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Safety detail

This SUV is equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) package, which comes with Level 2 ADAS. The list includes safety features such as adaptive cruise control, electronic stability control (ESC), hill hold control, a 360-degree camera and multiple airbags (potentially 7). Overall, safety has also been prioritised in the FJ.

Will the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ be launched in India?

There is already a strong demand for large SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner in India. In such a scenario, the company could also target the mid-budget segment through the FJ. If launched in India, it could compete with SUVs like the Mahindra Scorpio-N, Tata Harrier, and MG Hector.

Its price in India is likely to be between 25 lakh and 40 lakh, which could make it more affordable than the Fortuner.
