In a move reflecting its commitment to innovation and sustainable mobility, Al-Futtaim Motors has officially launched the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid in the United Arab Emirates, marking the region’s first introduction of this hybrid Land Cruiser model. The UAE is the first market globally to unveil this new version ahead of its worldwide debut, highlighting the enduring popularity and influence of this legendary model in the Middle East.
A Blend of Heritage and Modern Technology
The 2025 Land Cruiser combines seventy years of expertise in robust off-road vehicles with Toyota’s latest hybrid technology. This combination delivers enhanced power, improved fuel efficiency, and a superior driving experience, while maintaining the reliability and capability that have long defined the Land Cruiser.
Engine and Hybrid System
Under the hood, the vehicle features a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine paired with a parallel hybrid system, producing a total output of 457 horsepower and 790 Nm of torque. Toyota confirms that this is the most powerful Land Cruiser ever, offering a 20% increase in torque and 40% faster throttle response compared to the conventional engine. The hybrid drive system is designed to withstand tough usage, with the ability to operate on gasoline engine alone if the hybrid system fails, an important feature for adventures in remote areas.
Tested in Real Conditions
The hybrid Land Cruiser was developed and tested under real-world conditions including the UAE’s deserts, wadis, and mountains to ensure durability in harsh environments. The hybrid battery system is also water-resistant, allowing safe water fording without compromising performance.
Trims and Design
The vehicle is available in two main trims: VXR and GR-S. It maintains a strong road presence with exclusive design touches such as glossy black bumpers on the VXR and Hybrid/457TT badges distinguishing it from other models.
Technology and New Features
The car includes modern technologies such as:
Electric Power Steering (EPS) that enhances maneuverability on rough terrain and improves driver feedback.
An internal 1500-watt (220-volt) power inverter to run household appliances and camping equipment.
Comprehensive driver assistance and advanced off-road driving features, along with luxury interior options varying by trim.
Executive Statements
Jack Brant, CEO of Al-Futtaim Toyota and Lexus, stated:
"As the UAE accelerates towards carbon neutrality by 2050, the launch of the hybrid Land Cruiser reflects our commitment to offering electrified mobility options without compromising heritage or capability. The UAE has shaped this model over seven decades, and we are proud to introduce this historic evolution here first."
Toyota’s Sustainability Direction
