The 2025 Land Cruiser for the U.S. market won't look much like the model that made its global debut in 2022, codenamed the 300 Series. That's because the American version of the legendary off-roader will likely take its bones from the 2024 Lexus GX 550, the luxury brand's freshly redesigned midsize SUV. Of note, the Land Cruiser Prado was also recently teased for the European market, and given the overseas SUV's shared heritage with the GX, we believe the U.S.-market Land Cruiser will be nearly identical.
The shadowy teasers betray the new Land Cruiser’s upkicked beltline, shared with the GX, as well as a tall stance and relatively short wheelbase that portend great off-road visibility and maneuverability. However, there are some Toyota-specific design elements. The purposeful front end gets a separate bumper, rather than the GX’s smoothly integrated grille-bumper combo. The 2025 Land Cruiser also lacks its Lexus cousin’s roof spoiler, giving it a bit more retro flair. You can also see large, square taillights and a chunky grille, and the Land Cruiser might do without rocker steps to increase clearance over rocks.
