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.

All information is correct at time of publishing.
Where can one find the detailed specifications of the new Land Cruiser, namely engine size, tonnage, estimated market value, etc. I need those to try and figure out the insurance cost…
Hi Charlotte, thanks for your interest in the upcoming Land Cruiser.
Full information has not yet been announced. Make sure to sign up to the email newsletter here: https://brnw.ch/21wHxGS
Thanks,
Toyota UK
why have a chat page with an automated answer WE HAVE NO INFORMATION?
I must admit I am getting somewhat frustrated waiting for news.
When across the pond they can order the new hybrid petrol, while in the UK Hilux is getting the hybrid petrol.
The diesel in the new Land Cruiser seems to have the NOX of the new Euro 7 specification, my guess with Euro 7 July 2025 the engine could be Euro 7 compliant.
I waited so long I might as well wait next year for the SWB version with Euro 7.
Best Guess
LWB diesel first then a year later SWB
Will there be a light commercial 2 door version made?
Hi J, thanks for your interest in the upcoming Land Cruiser.
We have no further information regarding the specificaton options to offer at this time. For the latest updates, make sure to sign up to our email newsletter here: https://brnw.ch/21wHBTw

Will there be a 7 seater in the uk?
Hi Babu,
Unfortunately we do not have any further information to share on the Land Cruiser at the moment.
You can sign up for updates and be the first to know here – https://forms2.toyota.co.uk/kmi/new-land-cruiser.
Thanks.
This is typical of Toyota UK. They are always last to know anything about UK models and specifications. This car will, I guarantee be absolutely gutless like the new hilux of which I had brand new and sold within six months. The new Landcruiser needs the 3.3 V6 Turbo Diesel from the 300 series. I’ve had Landcruisers all my life and why oh why don’t Toyota UK tell Japan that the British market needs POWER. If Range Rover can make their 4.4 Twin Turbo Diesel engine Euro 6 compliant then Toyota can with their 3.3 TTD. This is the only reason why the 200 series LC with the 4.5 TTD V8 engine was discontinued, because Toyota UK, which is basically a bunch of marketing people who know nothing about cars, failed to convince Japan that we need a big engined LC. It’s just ridiculous.
The new model looks fantastic. But under the bonnet lies a lump of disappointment.
I total agree with the above post
I also agree and Toyota evidently don`t feel the UK customers are of much significance in their customer stratagy plans.
Dudley.
Totally agree. I have one of the last Subaru Forester petrol turbo XT models. Subaru which is part owned by Toyota has dropped all the turbo models and replaced with gutless hybrids. If Mazda and Volvo can do powerful petrol turbo hybrids why will not Subaru and Toyota???
Total agree,needs to be at least 3.3 or 4 L not a 2.8??don’t think many will buy it for the price tag or the power,I am loving my 1992 80 series, Land Cruiser , 4.2 turbo diesel with 201,000 miles and going.strong.
Totally agree with the above comments have a new Hilux every four years and done so for many years, but same gutless engines, next new car I will be looking at the V6 powered alternatives, Ford/VW.
It would be good if you were just more open with your customers – there is clearly a problem. In August last year Toyata announced that details and pre-sales would begin in the last quarter of 2023, with delivery in the first quarter of 2024. Neither timescale has been met.
It would be helpful to have a more accurate guide of when details will be available and realistically when Toyota will be able to deliver.
We’re sorry we don’t have any more information to share currently on the new Land Cruiser, James.
If you haven’t already done so, we’d recommend signing up here to be kept updated: https://www.toyota.co.uk/new-cars/coming-soon/land-cruiser/keep-me-informed
Thank you.
Why don’t you, Toyota UK just tell us what the delay is?
I think we could all understand if it’s some engineering thing that needs fixing for the UK or if it’s some other reason. Just don’t keep people in the dark. Just give us the reason(s) why instead of just saying sign up and wait for details. I think everybody is just fed up with that.
Just give a reasonable explanation.
Its not hard is it?
Why is Toyota UK treating prospective customers like mushrooms?
One is being kept in the dark and fed on sh**!
Surely, it is about time Toyota UK came clean about the Land Cruiser delivery delay or risk loosing customers to Ineos.
Hi there,
