“2025 Toyota Land Cruiser: A Comprehensive Look at Trims, Features, and Pricing”
As the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser makes its much-anticipated return to dealer lots after a two-year hiatus, Toyota enthusiasts have reason to celebrate. However, those hoping for a return to the Land Cruiser’s roots as a no-frills and budget-friendly SUV might be disappointed by the latest updates. The full-time 4WD SUV is set to hit the market this Spring with a starting price just below $58,000.

While the price point might not align with the expectations of some, the base model, known as the 1958 trim, offers a compelling package for its cost. This trim stands out with retro-inspired round LED headlights (also featured in the First Edition), the iconic Toyota heritage grille, an eight-inch infotainment screen supporting wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, full-time 4WD, a two-speed transfer case, and standard locking center and rear differentials. Additionally, it comes equipped with Toyota’s i-Force Max hybrid system, delivering a robust 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque when combined with its 2.4-liter turbocharged I-4 engine. Notably, the system can provide up to 2.4-kW of AC power for various devices.
With a price tag of $57,345, the Land Cruiser 1958 trim positions itself above the 2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro ($54,920) but below the entry trim of the 2024 Lexus GX—the 550 Premium ($64,250). It’s worth noting that details on the 2025 Toyota 4Runner are yet to be disclosed.
For those seeking more features, stepping up to the Land Cruiser trim requires an additional $6,350, bringing the total to $63,695. This upgrade swaps the round LED headlights for rectangular versions and introduces Rigid Industries LED fog lights. Inside, you’ll find powered, heated, and ventilated front seats, trimmed in SofTex, alongside a 12.3-inch digital dash, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, and a 10-speaker sound system. Notably, this trim includes a stabilizer disconnect mechanism for enhanced off-road articulation, along with multi-terrain select and multi-terrain monitor systems.
An optional Premium Package, costing an extra $4,600, adds leather seats with lumbar support and a driver memory feature, a 14-speaker JBL audio system, digital rearview mirror, HUD, illuminated entry, power moonroof, a center console cool box, and two USB-C ports in the cargo area. For those who prefer urban driving, a set of 20-inch wheels can be added for an additional $1,240.
For the ultimate Land Cruiser experience, the First Edition includes all features from the Premium Package as standard. Priced at $76,695, it reverts to the 1958 trim’s round LED headlights and heritage grille, along with unique 18-inch wheels, “First Edition” embossing on the door panels, roof rack, rock rails, and a front skid plate.
While it may not claim the title of the top off-roader in every scenario, the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser remains a pivotal launch for Toyota before 2030, a deadline set by the brand in 2021 to expand its electric vehicle lineup, including truck and SUV platforms, to 70 models. The brand aspires to integrate solid-state battery technology into its lineup by this time.
