The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ (Japanese: トヨタ・ランドクルーザーFJ, Hepburn: Toyota Rando-Kurūzā Efujē) (model code J240) is a retro-styled compact SUV produced by Japanese manufacturer Toyota since 2026. It is part of the Land Cruiser range as the smallest variation in the lineup. The name "FJ" is a backronym of "Freedom & Joy" and is a reference to the FJ40 Land Cruiser.

Overview

In August 2023, the Land Cruiser FJ was first shown in teaser images alongside the Toyota Land Cruiser Se Concept and Toyota Land Hopper three-wheeled scooter.

The Land Cruiser FJ made its first autoshow debut at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show on 20 October 2025. It is built upon the IMV platform shared with the Hilux. The model will be available in Asian, African, Middle East and Latin American markets, with no plans for availability in the North America or Europe. Before its introduction, the design of the Land Cruiser FJ was previewed by the Compact Cruiser EV concept SUV in December 2021.

It is powered by a 2.7-litre 2TR-FE four-cylinder engine with 120 kW (161 hp; 163 PS) and 246 N⋅m (181 lb⋅ft) of torque mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive as the sole powertrain option. The suspension uses an independent double wishbone setup for the front and a five-link coil-sprung setup for the rear with live/solid axle.
