2027 Toyota Land Cruiser: Trims, Features & What’s New
The 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser comes in two grades: the Land Cruiser 1958 and the Land Cruiser. Both use the same 2.4L i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain. Both have full-time four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, and locking center and rear differentials.
So the choice is not about capability. It is about how much technology and comfort you want. Here is the full 2027 breakdown for shoppers in Dallas, South Dallas, Desoto, Duncanville, Arlington, and Waxahachie.
What’s New for the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser?
The Land Cruiser carries into 2027 with a short list of updates. There is no redesign this year. Three changes define the model year, all confirmed in Toyota’s 2027 Land Cruiser announcement.
High Mounted Air Intake
A new factory option. It mounts at the passenger A-pillar and improves water-wading capability.
Heated and Ventilated Rear Seats
The outboard second-row seats join the Premium Package on the Land Cruiser grade.
Inked Exterior Color
A new color joins the palette. It is available on both grades.
Toyota offers seven exterior colors for 2027: Ice Cap, Wind Chill Pearl, Underground, Inked, Meteor Shower, Trail Dust, and Heritage Blue. Trail Dust and Heritage Blue can be ordered as two-tone finishes with a Grayscape roof.
2027 Land Cruiser Trim Comparison: 1958 vs. Land Cruiser
Both grades share the same powertrain, drivetrain, and standard safety suite. What separates them is interior material, screen size, audio, and a second layer of off-road hardware. Pricing and equipment below are drawn from Toyota’s official Land Cruiser model page.

|---|---|---|
| TSRP | $59,675 | $65,750 |

Total Suggested Retail Price (TSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, processing, and handling fees, which are subject to change at any time. TSRP excludes taxes, title, license, dealer-installed options, accessories, fees and charges. TSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer prices will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
Land Cruiser 1958
The 1958 is the value grade. Its name marks the year the Land Cruiser reached the United States. It wears round LED headlamps and the block-lettered heritage grille.
Nothing important is missing underneath. Full-time four-wheel drive, the two-speed transfer case, locking center and rear differentials, rear coil springs, Crawl Control, a front skid plate, and frame-mounted tow hooks are all standard. So are heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a 2400W AC inverter, and a trailer brake controller.
Land Cruiser
The Land Cruiser grade adds slim rectangular LED headlamps and Rigid Industries color-selectable fog lights. A squared profile and a repositioned A-pillar improve outward visibility on the trail.
Inside, it moves to SofTex-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, a power driver’s seat, a wireless charger, and a power liftgate.
Premium Package
The Premium Package is available only on the Land Cruiser grade. It adds leather-trimmed heated and ventilated power front and second-row seats, driver lumbar support and memory, a 14-speaker JBL premium audio system, a digital rearview mirror, a Head-Up Display, illuminated entry, and a power moonroof.
2027 Toyota Land Cruiser Specs and Performance
Every 2027 Land Cruiser uses the same turbocharged 2.4-liter i-FORCE MAX hybrid system. An electric motor sits between the engine and the eight-speed automatic transmission. There is no powertrain decision to make between the grades.
| Specification | Both Grades |
|---|---|
| Engine | 2.4L turbocharged i-FORCE MAX hybrid |
| Combined horsepower | 326 hp at 6,000 rpm |
| Combined torque | 465 lb-ft at 1,700 rpm |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic |
| Drivetrain | Full-time 4WD with 2-speed transfer case |
| EPA-Estimated fuel economy | 22 city / 25 highway / 23 combined mpg |
| Fuel requirement | Premium |
| Fuel tank capacity | 17.9 gallons |
| Maximum towing | 6,000 lbs |
| Cargo behind rear seats | 46.2 cu ft |
| Seating capacity | 5 |
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Peak torque arrives at 1,700 rpm. That low figure is what matters most for towing and slow trail work. Three drive modes let the driver switch throttle and transmission calibration between Sport, Eco, and Normal.

2027 Land Cruiser Off-Road Capability and Towing
The Land Cruiser’s off-road credentials start with hardware that is standard rather than optional. The table below shows what every Land Cruiser gets and what the higher grade adds. For a closer look at how this class of hardware behaves off pavement, see our breakdown of the 4Runner’s off-road capabilities.
| Off-Road Hardware | Land Cruiser 1958 | Land Cruiser |
|---|---|---|
| Full-time four-wheel drive | Standard | Standard |
| Two-speed transfer case | Standard | Standard |
| Locking center and rear differentials | Standard | Standard |
| Crawl Control with Downhill Assist Control | Standard | Standard |
| Rear coil springs | Standard | Standard |
| Front skid plate and frame-mounted tow hooks | Standard | Standard |
| 2400W AC inverter | Standard | Standard |
| Trailer brake controller | Standard | Standard |
| Multi-Terrain Select | Not available | Standard |
| Multi-Terrain Monitor | Not available | Standard |
| Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism | Not available | Available |
| High Mounted Air Intake | Available | Available |
What the Land Cruiser Grade Adds
Multi-Terrain Select tunes throttle and brake delivery for specific surfaces. The Multi-Terrain Monitor shows camera views around the vehicle for precise wheel placement. The Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism releases the front stabilizer bar for more suspension travel off pavement, then re-engages it for on-road stability.
Towing and Cargo
The 2400W AC inverter runs household-style equipment at a jobsite or campsite without a generator, on either grade.
Both grades tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped. A trailer brake controller is standard. Cargo space behind the rear seats measures 46.2 cubic feet.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
2027 Land Cruiser Technology and Infotainment
Technology is the clearest reason to move up a grade. Both grades share the core connectivity features. The screens and audio are where they part ways.
| Technology | Land Cruiser 1958 | Land Cruiser |
|---|---|---|
| Touchscreen | 8-inch | 12.3-inch |
| Gauge cluster | 7-inch digital | 12.3-inch digital |
| Audio system | 6 speakers | 10 speakers |
| JBL premium audio | Not available | 14 speakers, with Premium Package |
| Wireless Apple CarPlay | Standard | Standard |
| Wireless Android Auto | Standard | Standard |
| Bluetooth | Standard | Standard |
| Head-Up Display | Not available | With Premium Package |
USB-C charging is spread through the cabin on both grades. Toyota also includes a complimentary six-month trial subscription to onX apps, aimed at owners who drive away from pavement.
2027 Toyota Land Cruiser Safety Ratings and Features
Both grades come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. The pre-collision system detects pedestrians and bicyclists, and it now adds motorcyclist detection. Blind spot detection, lane departure warning and prevention, and rear automatic braking are also standard.
IIHS Crash Test Results
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has tested this generation. The ratings below come from the IIHS Land Cruiser rating page and apply to the 2025 and 2026 model years.
| IIHS Evaluation | Rating |
|---|---|
| Small overlap front, driver side | Good |
| Small overlap front, passenger side | Good |
| Side, updated test | Good |
| Moderate overlap front, updated test | Marginal |
| Front crash prevention, vehicle-to-vehicle | Good |
| Front crash prevention, pedestrian | Good |
| Seat belt reminders | Good |
| LATCH ease of use | Acceptable |
| Headlights, Land Cruiser 1958 | Good |
| Headlights, Land Cruiser | Marginal |
Two results are worth reading closely. In the updated moderate overlap front test, rear passenger restraints and dummy kinematics held the score to Marginal.
The headlight ratings also differ by grade. The 1958’s LED projector headlights rate Good. The Land Cruiser grade’s rate Marginal. If you drive rural roads at night, that is a real point in the 1958’s favor. You can read more about the driver-assist systems on our Toyota Safety Sense overview.
Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.
2027 Land Cruiser Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
Toyota’s warranty terms carry over for 2027. The complimentary maintenance program does not, and the change is worth knowing before you buy.
| Coverage | Term |
|---|---|
| Basic | 3 years / 36,000 miles |
| Powertrain | 5 years / 60,000 miles |
| Corrosion perforation | 5 years / unlimited miles |
| Hybrid system components | 8 years / 100,000 miles |
| Hybrid battery | 10 years / 150,000 miles |
| Roadside assistance | 2 years / unlimited miles |
| ToyotaCare, 2027 models | 1 year / 10,000 miles, up to 2 services |
Hybrid Coverage
The hybrid components carry the longest terms on the list. Hybrid system components are covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. The hybrid battery is covered for ten years or 150,000 miles. That addresses the concern buyers raise most often about hybrid ownership.
What Changed With ToyotaCare
Model-year 2026 and earlier Toyota vehicles carried two years or 25,000 miles of complimentary factory-scheduled maintenance. For applicable 2027 models, that becomes one year or 10,000 miles, covering up to two services. Roadside assistance is unchanged at two years with unlimited mileage. Current terms are published on Toyota’s maintenance plans page.

Common Questions About the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser
What is the fuel economy of the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser?

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
How much can the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser tow?
Both the Land Cruiser 1958 and the Land Cruiser are rated to tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped. The grade decision does not affect towing capacity. A trailer brake controller is standard on both.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
What is the difference between the Land Cruiser 1958 and the Land Cruiser?
The 1958 covers core capability with fabric seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch gauge cluster, and a six-speaker audio system. The Land Cruiser grade adds SofTex-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, a power driver’s seat, 12.3-inch displays, a 10-speaker system, wireless charging, a power liftgate, Multi-Terrain Select, the Multi-Terrain Monitor, and access to the Premium Package.

Does the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?
Yes. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are standard on both grades, alongside Bluetooth connectivity and automatic climate control.
Is the 2027 Land Cruiser four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive?
Four-wheel drive. Every 2027 Land Cruiser uses a full-time four-wheel-drive system with an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case. It also has electronically locking center and rear differentials. That combination, especially the low range and the locking differentials, is what separates it from crossover-based SUVs that use all-wheel drive alone.
