It’s Official, New 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Is Coming To America
The Toyota Land Cruiser in the U.S. was discontinued in 2021, but Toyota is bringing it back for a 2025 model. The new Land Cruiser model will be very different from the last one and will have a lot of new and updated features. With its boxy SUV style, the 2025 Land Cruiser will look like the 2024 Lexus GX. The GX’s Overtrail trim will carry over some Land Cruiser TRD Pro trim level features, including its bulky tires and locking disparity.
If the U.S. is lucky enough to get the Land Cruiser Prado, it will likely have the same powertrain as the GX. This means sharing a twin-turbo 3.4-liter V-6 engine, producing 349 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque as the Lexus model. It seems that the new Land Cruiser will have a third row of seats, and the wait shouldn’t be much longer since it won’t be debuted until 2024.
Another Similar Style Toyota SUV
The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander has a much longer wheelbase than the Highlander and has a different look and style. This 2024 model is a three-row SUV that offers comfort, spaciousness, and a luxurious interior. There are 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back row, with plenty of room for more oversized storage items. Almost every seat has a USB-C outlet and several cup holders throughout the vehicle. When all the back seats are folded down, the cargo space grows to 98 cubic feet.
Upfront there is a 12.3-inch touchscreen that comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Three powertrains options come under the hood for this large SUV that offers front- or all-wheel drive. The three different powertrains are a base turbocharged 2.4-liter inline-four engine, hybrid dual electric motors, and the Hybrid Max powertrain.
When the vehicle comes this summer, there will be three trim levels: XLE, Limited, and Platinum. The XLE trim has a starting price of $44,405 (plus destination fee), the XLE Hybrid is $46,005 (plus destination fee), the Limited Hybrid Max is $55,375 (plus destination fee), and the Platinum Hybrid Max is $59,460 (plus destination fee). The newest Grand Highlander is coming in strong against competitors like the Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, and the Kia Telluride.
Recently, the 2024 Grand Highlander was presented in Chicago and is a bigger version of the original three-row SUV and will join the lineup. One of the trims comes with second-row captain’s chairs, but there is also an option for a second-row bench. The all-new SUV has a whole new exterior look and a different look from the smaller SUV. Certain trim levels include a panoramic sunroof, a digital rearview mirror, and heated second-row seats. To access a few other features while driving, the driver needs to subscribe to the Drive Connect system, and then all access includes; Traffic Jam Assist, adaptive cruise control, climate controls, and so much more.
