Key Features of the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser

Full-Time 4WD

Land Cruiser’s standard full-time 4-wheel-drive system is one of its defining strengths. Power is continuously sent to the front and rear axles to help improve traction and stability across a variety of surfaces, whether the drive includes wet pavement, gravel lanes, steep access roads, or uneven trails. The electronically controlled 2-speed transfer case allows the driver to select the right amount of torque for specific driving conditions, adding another layer of control when extra capability is needed. This system is especially valuable for shoppers who want confidence built into the vehicle rather than reserved for occasional use. Instead of switching into capability only when conditions become challenging, the Land Cruiser is engineered to feel ready from the start.

i-FORCE MAX Hybrid Powertrain

The 2.4L 4 Cylinder i-FORCE MAX Hybrid powertrain gives the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser the kind of response and muscle that fits its reputation. With 326 net combined horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque, this hybrid system is designed to provide strong acceleration, useful low-end pull, and confident everyday drivability. The turbocharged engine and hybrid technology work together to create an energetic feel while supporting the efficiency advantages many Toyota hybrid shoppers expect. This is not a hybrid system built only for relaxed commuting; it is tuned for utility, response, and capability. Whether merging onto a busy highway, climbing a grade, or carrying passengers and gear, the Land Cruiser’s powertrain feels well matched to the SUV’s mission.

Crawl Control (CRAWL) and Multi-Terrain Select (MTS)

Standard Crawl Control (CRAWL) helps the Land Cruiser manage challenging off-road situations by assisting with throttle and braking over difficult terrain, allowing the driver to focus more on steering. Available Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) further enhances confidence by tailoring vehicle systems for different surface types. Together, these technologies make the Land Cruiser feel more approachable for drivers who are interested in exploring unpaved paths but still value Toyota’s intuitive approach to vehicle control. Capability is not only about hardware; it is also about giving drivers usable tools. The Land Cruiser’s off-road support systems are designed to help maintain steadiness when traction varies, making adventure more accessible without compromising the vehicle’s everyday manners.

Heritage-Inspired Design

The 2027 Land Cruiser carries its history with pride. Its classic “TOYOTA” heritage grille, squared-off side mirrors, athletic fender flares, and upright stance give it a bold and instantly recognizable look. Toyota describes the design as built with the spirit of the original and engineered for today, and that philosophy is clear from every angle. The Land Cruiser 1958 trim pays homage to the original FJ25 with iconic round headlights and fabric seats, while the Land Cruiser trim adds more adventure-ready technology, leather-trimmed seating, and rectangular headlights inspired by the FJ62. Available Heritage Blue adds to the retro-modern personality, giving the SUV a visual identity that feels both familiar and fresh.

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 gives the Land Cruiser a modern safety foundation for everyday driving. While the SUV is known for rugged capability, advanced driver-assistance technology is just as important for commuting, school drop-offs, highway travel, and busy local routes. Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 is designed to support awareness and confidence with a suite of active safety features that help drivers respond to common road situations. Combined with Land Cruiser’s elevated view, stable platform, and available connected technologies, this system helps make the vehicle feel composed and reassuring. For families, outdoor enthusiasts, and professionals who want capability without sacrificing modern driver support, Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 is an important part of the ownership experience.
