The new FJ adopts design cues from the Land Cruiser Prado but comes in a smaller, more agile package, making it ideal for both urban driving and rugged off road adventures. Combining Japanese durability with youthful energy, the new FJ is expected to be a major success in Middle Eastern markets, particularly in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, where off road SUVs remain highly popular among adventure enthusiasts.
A Design that Blends Power with Classic Heritage
Toyota designed the new Land Cruiser FJ with a philosophy that merges classic heritage with bold modern styling. The exterior features strong proportions and sharp lines that highlight the vehicle’s toughness and presence.
The front fascia comes in two distinct styles: one with round headlights for a retro look, and another with rectangular headlights featuring C shaped daytime running lights.
A minimalist front grille proudly displays the traditional Toyota logo at the center.
The sides reveal pronounced wheel arches and a muscular profile inspired by the Prado and Hilux models.
At the rear, a spare tire is mounted on the tailgate, accompanied by C shaped taillights that add a unique character.
