Toyota Land Cruiser FJ kostet wie ein RAV4, ist aber deutlich größer

The Land Cruiser FJ launches in the Japanese market.

The ladder-frame SUV gets a 2.7-liter engine and 4WD.

That figure puts the FJ in the same neighborhood as the cheapest RAV4 Hybrid in Japan, specifically the Adventure trim. Within the Land Cruiser family itself, the math gets more interesting. The FJ undercuts the classic 70 Series by ¥299,900 ($1,900) and the larger 250 Series by ¥1,279,300 ($8,100), making it the most accessible way into a nameplate that usually demands a lot more.

The VX trim arrives with Bi-Beam LED headlights and 18-inch alloy wheels finished in Matte Black. Five paint options are on the menu, including the Smoky Blue shown in the press images.

Inside, the FJ comes one way: black, with synthetic leather. The standard kit list includes a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, Toyota Safety Sense. Nothing here is going to surprise anyone who has sat in a current-generation Toyota in the last three years

Underneath sits the IMV ladder frame,

Underneath sits the IMV ladder frame, the same one holding up the Hilux pickup. The Japanese-market version stretches 4,575 mm (180.1 inches) end to end on a 2,580 mm (101.6 inches) wheelbase, which actually puts it on a tighter footprint than a RAV4.

The only powertrain option available at launch is a naturally-aspirated 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine producing 161 hp (120 kW 163 PS) and 246 nm (181 lb-ft) of torque. The non-electrified unit is paired exclusively with a six-speed automatic transmission and a standard part-time 4WD system with a rear differential lock.
