Toyota’s original SUV finally makes its triumphant return to the United States.

Well, we say “finally.” In fact, the US market has only gone without the Land Cruiser for two years, but the fandom made it clear that was two years too many. The new stateside Land Cruiser is an all-new model for 2024. Its coming was presaged by the Lexus GX with which it shares a platform, but Toyota made sure that this midsize SUV falls squarely in its own segment.

Verdict: The new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser is the latest in a spate of automotive reboots, and it just may be the best of them. The new Land Cruiser combines retro styling and excellent off-road capability with the latest in comfort and convenience and, of course, brand heritage. But Toyota may be relying too heavily on the revered nameplate to justify the price, particularly since it’s changed some of the fundamental characteristics of the model.

9/10

You can’t have an icon without a distinctive look. Like any good Land Cruiser should be, the J250 is boxy, with a flat roof. Though there’s only one “heritage edition,” each of the three Land Cruiser trims carries details that harken back to the Cruisers of yesteryear. The heritage grille with “TOYOTA” spelled out across the front is a throwback to the 40 series. The round headlights seen on the base 1958 trim and the top-shelf First Edition echo the 20 series, while the rectangular versions found on the middle-grade Land Cruiser refer to the FJ62. All lighting is now LED, serving as a metaphor for the Land Cruiser in general: classic-inspired, but aligned with modern-day standards. The two higher trim levels feature color-selectable fog lights from RIGID Industries. How’s that for a contemporary twist?

Another update for driver comfort? The beltline has been lowered for improved visibility. All 2024 Land Cruisers come with 18-inch alloy wheels, though 20-inch wheels are available for the middle trim. The First Edition gets additional standard off-roader gear like a roof rack, a front skid plate, and mudflaps.

Inside, the base 1958 trim gets cloth seats, while the middle trim’s seats are covered in SofTex. The First Edition gets real leather with unique, trim-specific logos. The front seats are heated in every trim, and a heated steering wheel is standard as well. The Premium Package, available for the top two trims, adds a moonroof and ventilated front seats. We found the cabin of our mid-grade tester quite pleasant. It has many of the visual hallmarks of Toyota’s current truck lineup, but the cushy seats, padded center console, and attractive contrast stitching speak to an emphasis on comfort in addition to capability. It allows the driver to focus on navigating whatever terrain lies ahead without being distracted by sore muscles or scratchy seats.

I bought the. Land Cruiser trim. 1. For the price of the truck underwhelming interior (e.g.. manually adjustable passenger front seat) 2. Gas mileage - nowhere near the advertised 23 mpg! The most I could get is under 18mpg. This was very disappointing. Oct 28, 2024

Very smooth ride. Gas mileage not horrible but not the 25mi as listed. I get about 21 on hwy if I “take it easy” on the gas pedal. I love the look. I put 20in wheels with large 285 tires. Looks Great!Jul 02, 2024
