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.

2024 Toyota Land Cruiser First Edition
The new 2024 Land Cruiser will be introduced with a special First Edition model, available exclusively for customers to reserve during the initial pre-sales period later this year. Only 3,000 examples of this limited-run version will be built for Europe, which will be distinguished by special heritage-inspired styling features (see also lead image). Details include classic round headlights and two dedicated bi-tone exterior paint finishes: Sand and Smoky Blue.
Further details will be provided closer to the pre-sales launch. So watch this space!

All information is correct at time of publishing.
The round lights should be an option for all models, they look much nicer – the other type look too aggressive like many modern cars. Also please consider bringing the petrol engine version to the UK, diesel is unpopular here now (which is hurting Jaguar for example) and we do a lot of short journeys here which are terrible for diesel DPF regeneration.
I’m interested to have one
Diesel will be popular very soon
Hi
I signed up for updates as soon as you released the news of the new Landcruiser and have heard absolutely nothing from Toyota, when do you expect this vehicle to go on sale.
Hi George, thanks for your interest in the Toyota Land Cruiser!
Currently, this is all the information we have on this vehicle. However, if you have signed up to be kept informed, as soon as there are updates they will be sent your way!
Thank you for your patience.
In spite of the wealth of new electronics the appearance is desperately old fashioned and ugly.The persistence with foisting on the UK a diesel engine perhaps indicates that Toyota does not want to sell many in this country
Can I get one in Matt black with lowered suspension and tinted windows?
Also need a 3000 watt sound system
Hi, thanks for getting in touch.
We are pleased to hear of your interest in the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser!
Currently, this is all the information we have on this vehicle. However, please keep an eye on the mag and website for any future updates! You can also be kept informed via our newsletter here:
https://brnw.ch/21wFEsy
Thanks.
Night rider, why would you want to lower the suspension on the Land Cruiser and immediately remove its off road ability, which it was built for? Buy a go kart. Also who needs 3000 watts?
I feel he may be taking the pee!
When can you order in the uk I have rang multiple dealers and all they say is we will put you on the list when we know ?
Hi Max,
Unfortunately, we do not have any further information to share on this at the moment.
Sign up and be the first to know here – https://forms2.toyota.co.uk/kmi/new-land-cruiser.
Thanks.
Just keeping an eye on the latest Land Cruiser, I am a Land Rover driver at present
Bad bad news…. Is a diesel engine for uk.
Hi Francis, thanks for your comment.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated and will be passed on to the relevant teams.
Thanks.
We need an off road diesel with moor power for towing.
You guys that keep on about lowering landcruisers and diesels are bad why on earth are you in a 4×4 ,by an electric car and leave us guys that genuinely need a 4×4 alone.
Get us farmers a proper workhorse 4×4 Toyota .
A petrol V8 would be an attractive option ,EV would be too heavy for the soft stuff, and you don’t get many charging points in rural Britain .
I had the classic BJ40 until last year. I am thrilled to hear of this new J250 model. Others have commented on the diesel engine too. I would be keen to buy the 1st edition but with the 2.4 litre turbo hybrid engine. I’ve already written to my local Altrincham dealer for further information. I hope we get the petrol engine in the U.K.
Hello Toyota
I read on the Toyota Newsroom Website that at the annual Kenshiki forum in Brussels (4th December), Pre-Sales opened on the 5th of December for the Land Cruiser in the Netherlands. This can be seen below.
https://newsroom.toyota.eu/toyota-opens-pre-sales-for-the-all-new-land-cruiser/
https://nl.toyota.be/customer/reserve/ng-land-cruiser
I understand there are different taxes and Co2 emissions charges in the Netherlands so prices are very different/higher to the UK.
When comparing a similar Rav4 or Hilux invincible between UK and Belgium it seem to between 15K-20K more in Belgium.
Taking into account the currency exchange rate Euro – GBP removing the emissions taxes, we are looking at a potential of £57K to £60K as a starting price in the UK entry model, and close to £75K for the First Edition.
Firstly, are you able to confirm when pre-sales will open in the UK we have had no news from Toyota, dealerships or online. It has been an information black hole.
Secondly, is there any word on pricing?
Many Thanks
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
Unfortunately we have no further updates to share on this at the moment.

We apologise that we cannot assist you further at this time.
Thanks.
Twenty years ago we had a 2.8 diesel Nissan Patrol. We have had a number of vehicles since but I still fondly remember the Patrol. I hope that the new Land Cruiser will be a modern equal to the Patrol. It looks very interesting in the details available. A diesel engine is definitely the best choice and will give superior torque to a petrol engine and far better economy. I would like to get one before a battery and an unnecessary electric motor are added to please the government.
I cannot see the point of plugging a vehicle into a charger as in the South West they are difficult to find and when one does, on a bank holiday, they are either broken or have a queue of frustrated owners of nearly dead electric cars.
Now that Toyota are confident about their quality and have a good guarantee they are the first choice over unreliable 4X4s that are going to be in and out of the main dealer all their lives. Glossy adverts do not make a reliable vehicle which is what is so reassuring about a Land Cruiser which may be a bit late into the showrooms but looks certain to be the one to buy for the long term.
