2025 Toyota Land Cruiser UK Version

• The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser UK Version debuts with a new 48‑volt mild‑hybrid system, enhancing refinement without impacting rugged off‑road prowess.

• It stays true to its identity: boxy proportions, bold stance, sculpted surfaces, and serious visibility for real-world driving.

• Official UK pricing kicks off around £77,845, with deliveries and fleet (Commercial) launches in early 2026.

Toyota today confirms the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser UK Version, bringing a 48‑volt mild‑hybrid upgrade to Britain’s favourite full‑size SUV. Keen-eyed fans will spot a familiar silhouette. But under the skin, there’s smoother stop-starts and extra low‑speed torque—yet it still wades through up to 700 mm of water with no fuss.

Design Remains True to Roots

The shape is unmistakable: straight beltline, slab‑sided doors, and a low bonnet that enhances visibility. LED lamps are tucked in neatly, shielded by sturdy bezels. Those large windows—the ones that open nearly to the door sills—feel purposeful: for spotting trail obstacles or watching kids climb in the back . It’s not trying to chase flashy looks; it’s honest, square‑shouldered and built to work.

Hybrid Mechanics Without Compromise

At its heart sits a tough 2.8-liter turbo diesel. Now married to a compact electric motor-generator tucked high on the engine block, plus a 48‑volt lithium‑ion battery and DC‑DC converter. Drivers get immediate torque assist—about 16 hp and 48 lb‑ft—when pulling away, smoother deceleration regeneration, and near-instantaneous restarts in traffic. No plug-in here; no electric-only mode. Just subtle efficiency and more polish on asphalt or mud.

Inside: Function Meets Comfort

Step in and the cabin has that purposeful feel. Clean, functional dash, plenty of knobs and switches, with a 9‑ or 12.3‑inch screen depending on trim. Seating layout works—choose five, six, or seven seats. Folding third‑row bench is electric-assisted. Electric power steering, plus features like Crawl Control and hill‑assist systems, feels well-matched for serious terrain .

Competitive Context & Market Position

Out in the UK, the Land Cruiser sits in a tough segment. Defender and Grenadier go for rugged premium, Everest aims family-friendly 4x4, but Toyota leans on decades of battle-proven reliability. Pricing begins at £77,845 for the basic UK variant and around £52,729 for the long-wheelbase Commercial model—fleet buyers should see hybrid options early in 2026.
