If you know off-road vehicles, you know the name Land Cruiser. Toyota’s legendary SUV has a loyal fan base spanning more than 60 years. The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser retains its rugged personality, body-on-frame architecture, and tenacious off-road ability, but it is now armed with cutting-edge electronics and a hybrid powertrain.
One surprising aspect of the new Land Cruiser is its seating arrangement, limited to five passengers in two rows. That may give rivals like the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Ford Explorer, and Kia Telluride a slight edge. On the flip side, this setup provides a massive cargo area and storage space, ideal for bulky gear or items that need safekeeping.
The Land Cruiser offers three trims: 1958, Land Cruiser, and First Edition. All three derive power from a turbocharged 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. Together, the pair pump out 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. Power runs to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. Toyota says this powerplant provides all the might of a V8 but with a 23-mpg combined fuel economy rating.
Let’s dive in and see which trim is best for you.
What’s New:
The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser is all new this year, returning to its roots while adding modern safety, powertrain, and interior electronics.
Our Recommendation:
The Land Cruiser is the one to get if you expect a modest sampling of amenities in a $60,000-plus SUV. However, if your primary goal is off-roading, the 1958 has everything you need without the frills.
These are the manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRP) and include the $1,395 factory-to-dealer delivery fee (destination charge). Prices are current at the time of publishing.
