Toyota's vision of a world without accidents drives continuous innovation in their safety...

The wait is over for Canadian adventure enthusiasts seeking capability without compromise. The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser has returned to our shores with Toyota's exclusive i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, delivering both exceptional performance and improved fuel efficiency. This legendary SUV that helped launch Toyota in Canada 60 years ago now represents the perfect fusion of heritage, power, and modern engineering.
Built on Toyota's robust TNGA-F global truck platform, the new Land Cruiser maintains the bulletproof reliability the nameplate is known for while adding sophisticated hybrid technology that enhances rather than diminishes its off-road credentials. The result is an SUV that tackles the most challenging terrain while respecting both your fuel budget and the environment.
Hybrid Power That Performs
At the heart of every 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser lies the sophisticated i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain. This system pairs a 2.4-litre turbocharged engine with an electric motor integrated into the bell housing of the eight-speed automatic transmission. Working in harmony, these power sources generate 326 horsepower and an impressive 465 lb-ft of torque—substantial output that translates to real-world capability.
This powertrain enables a confident 6,000-pound towing capacity, making the Land Cruiser as practical as it is capable. Whether you're hauling a boat to the lake or a camper into the backcountry, the hybrid system delivers consistent power while improving efficiency compared to traditional V8 engines typically found in vehicles of this class.
The i-FORCE MAX system demonstrates Toyota's commitment to electrification without sacrificing the performance Land Cruiser owners expect. By positioning the electric motor between the engine and transmission, engineers have created a seamless power delivery system that enhances low-end torque—exactly what you need when navigating challenging off-road obstacles.
Trail-Conquering Technology
The 2025 Land Cruiser backs its hybrid power with an impressive array of off-road technologies that transform challenging terrain into manageable drives. Every model features full-time four-wheel drive with a centre locking differential, ensuring optimal traction in variable conditions. The electronically-controlled two-speed transfer case allows you to select the appropriate gear range for any situation, while the electronic locking rear differential provides maximum traction when you need it most.
When tackling steep descents, Downhill Assist Control maintains a controlled speed without constant brake application, allowing you to focus on steering. For technical low-speed maneuvers, Crawl Control functions like off-road cruise control, regulating throttle and brakes across five speed settings so you can concentrate on navigating obstacles.
The Land Cruiser and Premium Package grades add even more capability with Multi-Terrain Select, which optimizes vehicle systems for different surface conditions, and the Multi-Terrain Monitor that provides camera views of the terrain around and under the vehicle. Perhaps most impressive is the Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism—available on these upper grades—which increases suspension articulation at the push of a button, allowing the wheels to maintain contact with uneven terrain.
Three Distinct Paths to Luxury
The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser lineup features three thoughtfully designed grades, each offering a unique blend of style and features while sharing the same fundamental capability.
The Land Cruiser 1958 pays homage to the model's heritage with round LED headlamps and a classic grille featuring the TOYOTA name spelled out in full. Despite its retro-inspired exterior, this entry model offers modern comforts including heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, two-zone climate control, and Toyota's Multimedia system with an 8-inch touchscreen.
Stepping up to the Land Cruiser grade brings more contemporary styling with rectangular LED headlamps alongside additional features like a power moonroof, power back door, and 12.3-inch touchscreen. The interior gains Softex upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, three-zone climate control, and a wireless charging dock for smartphones.
For those seeking maximum luxury, the Land Cruiser Premium Package adds 20-inch alloy wheels, genuine leather upholstery, a 14-speaker JBL Premium audio system, head-up display, and additional driver assistance features including Traffic Jam Assist and a digital rearview mirror. A centre console cooler box adds practicality for long journeys into remote areas.
Your Adventure Awaits
The return of the Land Cruiser represents the perfect combination of Toyota's off-road heritage and forward-thinking electrification strategy. Starting at $69,495, the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser delivers exceptional value considering its capability, technology, and premium features.
