Toyota unveiled its new Land Cruiser FJ at the Japan Mobility Show in October 2025. Now it is expected to be introduced in the Indian market soon. It is being known as 'Mini Fortuner' or 'Baby Land Cruiser'. This is the most compact and affordable model of the Land Cruiser family, which will come with a modern touch like the classic FJ Cruiser.
Built on the body-on-frame IMV platform, the SUV shares the same with its bigger siblings the Fortuner, HiLex and Innova Crysta. However, it is shorter (length 4575mm) and more off-road capable than the Fortuner. This is going to be a perfect vehicle for young adventure lovers, families and off-roading lovers. Let's take a look at the details revealed so far related to Toyota Land Cruiser FJ.
Design and dimensions
The exterior of the FJ is completely boxy, rugged and in the classic Land Cruiser style. With length 4575mm, width 1855mm, height 1960mm and wheelbase 2580mm, it looks smaller than the Fortuner but looks taller and stronger. High ground clearance (215mm), short overhangs, muscular body panels, wide wheel arches, C-shaped LED lights, bold front grille and side-opening tailgate mounted spare wheel give it an aggressive off-road look. AT tires are fitted on 17 inch alloy wheels.
Interior and Features
Its cabin is 5-seater, functional and durable. The rugged interior has a lot of physical buttons and knobs, which allow for ease of off-roading. Highlights include 12.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, fully digital instrument cluster, three-spoke steering, dual-zone climate control, good rear space and rear seat recline. For connectivity, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Toyota Connected Services will be available. Off-road features like Multi-Terrain Select, Hill Descent Control, 4×4 Mode Dial and good visibility will make driving fun. The cabin is not premium but hardy and practical.
Safety Features
Toyota's strength will be visible here also. Features like pre-collision system, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning along with Toyota Safety Sense (Level-2 ADAS) can be found in it. Also, 6-7 airbags, ABS with EBD, vehicle stability control, traction control, hill start assist, 360° camera, parking sensors and ISOFIX will be provided.
Engine and Performance
The main engine in it will be 2.7 liter petrol (2TR-FE), which gives 163 PS power and 246 Nm torque. It will offer a part-time 4×4 system (low-range gear) with a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Later, 2.0 liter strong hybrid (about 184 PS) and plug-in hybrid options will also come. Performance will be balanced. This is going to be a great option for city, highway and light-heavy off-roading. Wheel articulation, approach angle and 215mm ground clearance will give it capabilities like Land Cruiser 70 Series. Mileage can be around 18-20 kmpl in hybrid.
Estimated price and launch date
The ex-showroom price of Land Cruiser FJ in India is expected to be between ₹25 to ₹35 lakh. Hybrid variants will be a bit expensive. It will be cheaper than the regular Fortuner (₹33 lakh+) but will offer the premium reliability of a Land Cruiser. Its production in India will start from August 2028 at Toyota's new Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (Maharashtra) plant. Launch is possible in December 2028 or early 2029. These figures are approximate, official announcement is awaited.
