More than 70 years after the launch of the original Land Cruiser, Toyota is proud to reveal the all-new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser. This next-generation model is destined to continue the icon’s history of continuous production into a new era while drawing directly on the qualities that made the Land Cruiser name synonymous with strength and go-anywhere reliability.
Pre-sales of the new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser for UK and European customers will open during the fourth quarter of this year, with the first vehicle deliveries expected in the first half of 2024. Further details of the UK model range and pricing will be announced soon, but the following is what we can reveal right now.
Please note: the availability of vehicle features described in this article may be dependent on the grade of vehicle. Consult your local Toyota centre or visit toyota.co.uk for more information.
Classic construction with improved all-terrain performance
This new model represents the fifth generation of the Land Cruiser’s Light Duty, or Prado, product line, and as such will likely be identified by its 250 series chassis code. It retains the traditional body-on-frame construction of every Land Cruiser and follows the larger 300 series (Station Wagon product line) Land Cruiser in adopting our GA-F platform, which plays a key role in significantly improving off-road performance.
The new frame is 50% stiffer, while the rigidity of the combined body and frame has been improved by 30%. These substantial increases contribute to improved responsiveness, handling and ride comfort, both on- and off-road. Suspension performance has also been enhanced, particularly in the area of wheel articulation – a key factor in off-road driving. At the same time, the new model is easy to manoeuvre and more comfortable on the road, true to our commitment to making the 2024 Land Cruiser eminently practical and tailored to customers’ day-to-day needs.
New electric power steering
The 250 series Land Cruiser is the first to adopt an electric power steering system. It reduces the amount of kickback that can occur when navigating rough terrain and provides smoother, more direct steering and improved manoeuvrability at all speeds. This new system also allows the new Land Cruiser to include Lane Tracing Assist as part of its comprehensive Toyota Safety Sense active safety and driver assistance package.
Disconnecting the front anti-roll bar
Further off-road capability is built-in with a new electronically disconnecting front anti-roll bar mechanism. This technology enables the driver to disengage the anti-roll bar using a switch on the dashboard, a facility that allows maximum wheel articulation – and therefore maximum tyre contact with the ground – to successfully tackle challenging terrain at low speeds.
Further support when driving off-road is provided by upgrades to the Multi-Terrain Monitor and Multi-Terrain Select system. Using high-resolution cameras and a dashboard display, the Monitor gives the driver a clear view of the area immediately around and beneath the vehicle. Meanwhile, the Select system automatically adapts the chassis and performance to suit the demands of different off-road driving conditions.
2024 Toyota Land Cruiser: new powertrain
In the UK and Western Europe, the new 2024 Land Cruiser will be introduced with our 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV turbo diesel engine – the same 2.8-litre unit installed in the Toyota Hilux. Engineered for a strong balance of fuel efficiency and performance, this four-cylinder engine produces 201bhp and is matched to a new eight-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission, giving it the strength to tow loads of up to 3,500kg.
An electrified version that combines the same 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine with 48V mild hybrid technology will be available in early 2025.
Design – modern yet traditional
The styling of the 2024 Land Cruiser captures the lean, functional beauty that’s found in the best professional tools. Design cues inspired by the model’s long heritage reinforce the ‘back to its origins’ ethos of the new Land Cruiser, creating a modern interpretation of the traditional form-follows-function approach.
In profile, the new 2024 Land Cruiser has a classic silhouette based around strong horizontal lines. It measures 4,920mm long, 1,980mm wide and 1,870mm tall, while the wheelbase is 2,850mm. Off-road performance is helped by shorter overhangs, sculpted corners and bodywork that subtly narrows towards the sills. Other body parts have been thoughtfully designed for easy replacement in the event of damage.
The interior can be specified with a choice of either five- or seven-seat configurations and offers a design that underlines the strength and functionality of an authentic off-roader. This is evidenced in details such as the horizontally arranged instrument panel and switches that are shaped for easy operation, even when driving over challenging terrain. All-round visibility has been given priority, assisted by the lowered belt line that allows deeper side windows to be fitted.

We will need your full registration number to advise.
Thanks,

Vehicle details
Hi David, thanks for that.
Our technical team have advised that it is likely to be plug and play and suggested double checking that all lights are working. Sometimes the issue you are experiencing could indicate a bulb failure. It may be best for whoever supplied and fitted the part to take another look, it’s hard to advise when we haven’t fitted it ourselves.
Thanks,
Hello thanks for the info regards the Tow electrics, but this is the problem I need to know what to expect so I know if its working also You say LIKELY TO BE PLUG AND PLAY ???? this is not an answer can you please find out these points
When the trailer is attached
WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE —
1/ Should it disable the rear collision braking ?
2/ Should it disable the rear sensors ?
3/ Should it disable the cross traffic ??
4/ should there be some sort of indication on the dash when towing
5/ Should the buzzer sound on indicating which is attached to the OE trailer ECU /loom ???
In other words disable what ever you dont need reversing a trailer
I have no bulb failures
Same old story BLAME THE CUSTOMER !! bought OE parts told they are Plug and Play srtictly followed proceedure But it does not work this is why I need to know what I should have OR NOT ??
I have fully working trailer lights but HAVE NOTHING ELSE.
I,m no expert but have owned 3 service centrs a Bodyshop for over 40 years and quite capable in fitting this sort of thing. the indecisive answers from the 2 Dealerships I have dealt with inc you speaks for itself There are 2 guys having there Tow bars inc electrics fitted this week BY DEALERSHIPS lets see how they get on

Hi
When I ordered my 2024 Land Cruiser in the summer I added the option of a factory fitted fixed tow bar.
When the car was delivered the towbar was still on the invoice when I paid and I was told it will fitted later when it becomes available in the UK.
I was expecting the tow bar system fitted as standard on the US spec.
Can you explain why the UK spec cars did not include the towbars as ordered as now both the tow bar and new bumpers with built in cover will need fitting.
Can Toyota please let us know when they plan to supply the original towbar system which I ordered rather than offering a UK copy?
The car is also missing some mud protection guards in the inner wheel arch as I can see the alternator etc in the engine bay. As soon as I take the car through mud the engine and alternator will be covered in mud, and the grit in the mud will cause excess wear.
Thus must been missed off the UK cars during manufacture as even my Japanese spec 2012 FJ cruiser (Prado base) has these rubber guards in place.
The whole thing seems like although marketed as an off road car it has not been finished as one for the UK market. Not having the factory towbar available as it is in other international markets seems to be an important omission.
As a farmer I am in second thoughts as to the car although very modern tech wise is as actually suitable for purpose as 4WD m, particularly considering the cost of the UK spec First Addition which although much more expensive is missing much of the spec of US version of the same model.
Please let me know when the Toyota tow bar is available and if proper inner wing mud protection will added. ( I also paid extra for a protection pack again added as option when I ordered which I presumed would mean mean type of thing)
Best wishes
Adrian
Hi Adrian, thanks for getting in touch.
Your local Toyota Centre can assist with this, or you can contact the team at cr@toyota.co.uk
Thanks,
Hi Adrian
You will not get the factory Tow Bar or the Factory Electrics I have had a lot of trouble with mine read my questions above yours , I turns out there are 9 safety funtions you must disable when Towing !! according to the Manual also you will note I did not get a reply from this platform which is Toyota UK.
Good luck you will need it I have sold my LC after 6 weeks
Dave
Hello Toyota
are you going to answer my questions regarding disabling certain functions in order to Tow with my LC 250 please
Dave
Hi Dave,
We’re not able to advise further on this, due to it being an aftermarket fitment.
Thanks,
