Toyota LandCruiser FJ 2025 preview: What we know about the new cut-price 4WD rival to Suzuki Jimny! [Video]

Is Toyota cooking up a new LandCruiser FJ four-wheel-drive? The automotive rumour mill is currently in overdrive with whispers that the iconic nameplate will return soon as a mini ‘Cruiser to rival the very popular Suzuki Jimny, or maybe even the larger Jeep Wrangler or GWM Tank 300. Either way, anticipations levels are sky high.

So in this Newscast video, CarsGuide’s Managing Editor, Tim Nicholson, is joined by News Editor Dom Tripolone and Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton to chat about what we know so far about the alleged next-gen Toyota LandCruiser FJ.

They discuss whether it’s happening at all, what it will be called, which platform it will use, which powertrains it will offer – including whether or not it will be hybrid or fully electric, or maybe both — what it will look like and exactly when it will be revealed and go into production. So, do Australian off-road enthusiasts have something to look forward to? Watch on to find out.
