Toyota FJ Cruiser Revival Teased During 2024 Land Cruiser Debut

During the debut event for the Land Cruiser 250, Toyota briefly showcased the silhouette of what appears to be a Century SUV. Additionally, two unknown SUVs were previewed at the end of the event. While details about these vehicles were not provided, Toyota’s Chief Branding Officer hinted at new and exciting paths for the future of cars. The automaker aims to keep the Land Cruiser nameplate relevant by implementing “carbon neutral approaches” and making the vehicle more affordable and accessible worldwide.

Considering the familiar boxy shape of the left SUV silhouette, it is possible that Toyota is teasing the revival of the FJ Cruiser, this time in an electric form. Toyota had previously hinted at the return of the FJ Cruiser in late 2021 with the Compact Cruiser concept. However, it is essential to note that this potential resurrection contradicts a prior report claiming that Toyota had halted the development of an electric second-generation FJ Cruiser model. It is possible that plans have changed since then.

The FJ Cruiser was discontinued in the United States after the 2014 model year, but production continued until December 2022. Toyota manufactured the model for nearly 17 years before ending production with a Final Edition limited to 1,000 units for the Middle East.
