Key facts about the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser

2025 Land Cruiser in 30 seconds: which trim should you choose?

• Choose the 1958 if you want the round headlights, the heritage grille and the lowest price, and you can live with an 8-inch screen, fabric seats and 18-inch wheels. It is the enthusiast pick and the value pick at the same time.
• Choose the Land Cruiser if you actually go off-road. It is the only way to get the Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism, Multi-Terrain Select and the Multi-Terrain Monitor, and it brings the 12.3-inch screen and heated and ventilated Softex seats.
• Choose the Premium Package if you want the Land Cruiser to work as a family vehicle first: leather, memory seats, 14-speaker JBL audio, head-up display, digital rearview mirror and the extra driver-assist systems.

One caveat worth knowing before you shop: the Premium Package moves to 20-inch wheels. Larger wheels mean lower-profile tires, which is the wrong direction for serious off-road use and for pothole survival. If the trail matters more than the trim badge, the mid-range Land Cruiser on 18s is the better vehicle.

2025 Toyota Land Cruiser trims and Canadian pricing

The i-FORCE MAX hybrid, explained for Canadian buyers

The 2025 Land Cruiser is a conventional hybrid, not a plug-in. A 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder works with an electric motor sandwiched between the engine and the eight-speed automatic, and the battery is replenished by the engine and by regenerative braking. There is no charge port, no EV mode worth planning around and no iZEV rebate.

What you get instead is torque. The 465 lb-ft peak arrives low and arrives instantly, which matters more for crawling over an obstacle or pulling a trailer out of a wet launch ramp than any horsepower figure does. Combined consumption of roughly 10.1 L/100 km in a body-on-frame four-wheel drive is the other half of the argument: the V8 Land Cruisers sold in other markets are nowhere close.

• Regular fuel. No premium requirement, which meaningfully changes the annual fuel bill against European rivals in this price band.
• Cold starts. Hybrid batteries lose some capacity in deep cold, so expect consumption to rise in a Canadian January. The engine also runs more often at low temperatures to maintain cabin heat.
• No battery anxiety. Because the system self-charges, there is no range calculation to do before a remote trip, which is the practical argument for a hybrid over a plug-in in a vehicle designed to go where chargers are not.
• Towing. 6,000 lb is respectable but not class-leading. Confirm your trailer's loaded weight rather than its dry weight before assuming it fits.

Off-road hardware, in plain terms

Every Canadian Land Cruiser gets the serious equipment as standard, which is unusual in this segment. The optional items are conveniences layered on top rather than the capability itself.

The 2025 Land Cruiser in Canadian winter

This is one of the better winter vehicles on sale in Canada, and the reasons are mechanical rather than electronic. Full-time four-wheel drive means there is no decision to make when conditions change mid-drive. The locking centre differential handles ice. Short front and rear overhangs stop the bumpers ploughing snow. The Deep Snow setting in Multi-Terrain Select adjusts throttle and traction response for unploughed roads.

The limiting factor is tires. All-season tires on a 5,000 lb body-on-frame SUV will find the limit long before the drivetrain does, and on the Premium Package's 20-inch wheels the winter tire bill is noticeably higher than on the 1958's 18s. Budget for a dedicated winter set regardless of trim.

What to cross-shop against the 2025 Land Cruiser

The Land Cruiser is a body-on-frame, two-speed-transfer-case off-roader. Its real competitors are other body-on-frame off-roaders, not unibody family crossovers at a similar price.

Buying a 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser in Canada

New versus lightly used

Low-kilometre used 2025 Land Cruisers now list from roughly CA$67,000, which is close to a new 1958 before freight and fees. Because early cars often transacted above MSRP, the used market is the place to check first: a one-year-old car with 20,000 km and remaining factory warranty can be better value than the equivalent new unit once fees are added.

Watch the advertised price structure

Canadian Land Cruiser listings frequently quote a financed price rather than a cash price, and freight, PDI, air conditioning excise tax, tire levy, documentation fees and provincial registration all sit on top of MSRP. On a typical Ontario 1958, those additions come to roughly CA$2,500 before HST. Compare total prices, not headline prices.

Check the recall by VIN

Transport Canada recall 2025-594 covers 2024 and 2025 Land Cruisers fitted with the panoramic view monitor, where the rearview camera image can freeze or fail to appear. The fix is a free software update. Confirm it has been performed before taking delivery of any used example.

Confirm which trim you are actually looking at

Dealer listings for this model are inconsistent, with the same vehicle described as "1958," "4WD," "Hybrid," "Premium Package" or simply "BASE." The reliable tells are the headlights (round on the 1958, rectangular on the others), the screen size (8-inch versus 12.3-inch) and the wheels (18-inch versus 20-inch on Premium).

What a 2025 Land Cruiser costs to run

Our reviewers scored the 2025 Land Cruiser 7.8 overall, with the highest marks for design and powertrain. The two lowest sub-scores are worth reading before you buy: comfort, reflecting a firm body-on-frame ride and a cabin that prioritizes durability over plushness, and value for money, reflecting a price that has climbed well past the "affordable Land Cruiser" positioning the model launched with.
