High Country Toyota - What to Know About the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser
The 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser blends a storied off-road legacy with modern hybrid efficiency, intuitive technology, and everyday comfort. At High Country Toyota, we are excited to introduce a model that honors its heritage while raising the bar for capability, confidence, and value-minded versatility. If a go-anywhere SUV with smart power and serious durability is on your shortlist, this Land Cruiser deserves a close look.
From its full-time 4-wheel drive to the i-FORCE MAX hybrid system, the latest Land Cruiser arrives with thoughtful upgrades that make trail days easier and daily driving more refined. Two distinct trims, a heritage-inspired design, and a suite of proven traction tools make this SUV as comfortable edging through rutted switchbacks as it is cruising through town.
Design that honors the past while fitting your present
Bold and unmistakable, the Land Cruiser’s silhouette signals intent. The classic “TOYOTA” grille, squared side mirrors, and strong fender flares nod to the original icons that earned global respect. Two headlight designs differentiate the trims: round lamps lend a retro edge, while rectangular units channel late-80s Land Cruiser vibes. Every line has a purpose, from the tucked rear overhang that helps with departure angles to robust lower cladding that looks right at home on gravel and granite.
Inside, the cabin is a study in smart ergonomics and rugged elegance. The controls feel substantial and are placed where your hands expect them. Upscale materials, available leather-trimmed seating, and heated front seats and steering wheel create a confident, composed space. Thoughtful touches like available heated side mirrors, supportive front-seat bolsters, and easy-clean surfaces underscore this SUV’s dual mission: look sharp and work hard.
Hybrid punch, real-world strength
Under the hood, the 2.4-liter i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain pairs turbocharged torque with electric assistance for quick response across the rev range. The result is a confident 326 net combined horsepower and a robust 465 lb.-ft. of torque, tuned for low-speed control and highway passing alike. Three selectable drive modes—Eco, Normal, and Sport—tailor throttle mapping to your plans, whether efficiency is the priority or you want a bit more snap.
Capability remains the Land Cruiser’s calling card. Standard full-time 4WD continuously sends power to both axles, and an electronically controlled 2-speed transfer case dials in the right gearing for steep climbs or slow crawls. Crawl Control is standard to help you maintain controlled momentum over loose or uneven terrain, and available Multi-Terrain Select fine-tunes traction settings. For even more articulation, the available Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism lets the front suspension move more freely when you need it most.

Technology and safety that travel everywhere
The latest Toyota Audio Multimedia platform helps you stay connected and in control with an interface designed around clarity and quick access. Available head-up display projects key information in your sightline to keep focus on the path ahead. The Multi-Terrain Monitor, available on the Land Cruiser trim, lets you view underbody and surrounding camera angles to spot obstacles before your tires meet them.
Convenience is baked in: Qi wireless charging and USB-C ports simplify power management for your devices, a 60/40 split rear seat expands cargo space on demand, and the available 2400W AC inverter supports campsite power, tailgate setups, or jobsite tools. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard, adding a suite of active safety features designed to support awareness and help with avoidance in a wide range of driving scenarios.
Two trims, one legendary name
The Land Cruiser lineup puts you in control of how modern or minimalist you want your rig to feel. The Land Cruiser 1958 trim celebrates essentials with classic round headlights and fabric seating, while the Land Cruiser trim leans into modern adventure with additional technology and trail tools. Both deliver full-time 4WD strength, rugged construction, and smart storage solutions for overlanding or urban errands.
