If I am not wrong, then this new Land Cruiser FJ will be only the SUV version of the Hilux champ. Because i cant ignore how the bumper and headlights of both these are so similar.

- This suggests that the LandCruiser FJ will use the same Toyota iMV ladder-frame underpinnings as the Champ, albeit with a four-wheel-drive transfer case as opposed to the Champ’s rear-drive platform.

Presence of the 2.7l petrol lump can't be taken as evidence of it being on the IMV platform. The new Prado based on the TNGA-F platform also has the 2.7l petrol. With the new 2.4l turbo taking the place of the old 4.0l V6, expect the 2.7l to become the all rounder in the lower segment of Toyota BoFs.

Though expect it to be based on the IMV platform if they are aggressive on the pricing. Wonder where the Project 500D junior Fortuner will be placed then.

The Land Cruiser FJ, the smallest in the family, could appear in 2025.

The long-awaited "Runkle Mini", which was awaited by fans who wanted the robustness of the Runkle but had given up on purchasing it due to its size, is a Land Cruiser FJ that plans to appear in 2025.



Based on the ladder frame of the IMV0, the wheelbase has been shortened to 2750 mm, and the overall length is 4500 mm and the overall width is 1830 mm, which is more than one size more compact. It is smaller than the Harrier and close in size to the Corolla Cross (4490×1825×1620mm). It is powered by a 2.7-liter inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine.

Must be for the Japanese market. No way they are going to let go off the chance to plonk the 2.4l / 2.8l diesels in more models.

This is what the translated text says in the website.

For some reason, there is no information that a diesel version is available, but the reason for this is unknown.

Really Excited for this. If it can be priced around 20 lakhs. The engine may not be very powerful but it is extremely reliable and with this NCR - NGT stuff and DPF, I don't even consider diesels as options. The smallish size is good for urban nuclear families. The pricing is key on this car.

Me too, but knowing Toyota, it will surely be more expensive than Hycross. Could be even above Fortuner due to the Land Cruiser tag.

20 lakhs? We know Toyota will never price it at that. Though can expect them to price it at par with ScorpioN's top variants.

Nah. The Fortuner will move even more upmarket. And by the looks of it, the mini Fortuner would be a 2 row 5 seater only. Even in the 50+ lakhs segment, people find it difficult to justify buying a 2 row SUV unless it is Ze Germans.

That is. If at all Toyota sees it fits to bless us with this model. Most likely we will be blessed with a Grand Cruiser Hyryder 7 seater instead.

[PB65]

If it'll look like this, Toyota could literally get all the juice in the 20-30 lakh Rupees market. Thats the sweet spot for this SUV.

It's got the presence, hence street cred. And looks boxy too. It's a recipe for success if priced right. Could be the cash cow to milk.

But knowing Toyota, they'd be eager to price it at par with the Fortuner, delete tons of features and enforce stupid waiting periods.

[Chisels121]

RIP to those who are thinking that it would be priced at 20lakhs. Knowing Toyota's greed it would be priced in the 30-40 lakh price range while the fortuner would be even more expensive.

[HarKag]

No way it will be priced around 20 lakhs. Toyota already has Hyryder top variants at that price range. Knowing Toyota, it will be definitely in 30-40 lakh category.

Toyota's new 'Entry SUV' will be hybrid with Hilux's 2.8-liter diesel engine

Land Cruiser FJ, as it has been called, will have ample off-road capability and will be below the SW4 in the portfolio.

A prominent launch within Toyota's calendar of news for the coming months, the so-called 'root SUV' that the brand will unveil by November will be born ready for electrification.

the model has been designed to comply with the strictest anti-pollution rules and will feature versions equipped with the same micro-hybrid system already used by the Hilux in foreign markets.

In the pickup, the set consists of the well-known 2.8 four-cylinder turbodiesel engine associated with a belt-driven electric motor/generator, a small lithium battery and a converter. Toyota says that in the Hilux electrification improves fuel economy by 6% to 10%, depending on the version, while reducing noise, vibration and harshness. The engine power remains the same: 204 hp and 50,9 kgfm of torque.

In addition, the unprecedented 'Land Cruiser FJ', as it has been called, will also have versions with a 2.7 hp 166 gasoline engine (the same used by the Hilux Champ) and even fully electric variants. The transmission will be automatic and the traction, to live up to the proposal, 4x4 with several selection modes. In dimensional terms, there is talk of a 2,750 mm wheelbase and a length of around 4.5 meters.

Production will start in November, in Thailand, and sales should start soon after. In addition to Asia, the model is expected to reach markets in Europe, the Middle East, South America and Oceania. Arrival in North America is another possibility.

The FJ will arrive in Toyota's portfolio as a more robust alternative to the Corolla Cross and will be built with body-on-chassis. In this sense, everything indicates that the adopted platform may be the iMV basis of the Hilux Champ pickup, which is a simplified version of the conventional Hilux architecture
