Key Features of the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser

i-FORCE MAX Hybrid Powertrain

Land Cruiser’s i-FORCE MAX Hybrid Powertrain blends a turbocharged 2.4L 4-cylinder with electric assistance to deliver 326 net combined horsepower and a robust 465 lb.-ft. of torque. That torque comes on quickly and smoothly, giving you confident merges, decisive passing, and controlled low-speed power on the trail. The hybrid system is tuned for durability and responsiveness, with electric torque helping smooth out throttle inputs and maintain traction in challenging situations. Drive Modes let you tailor response with Sport for sharper acceleration, Eco for optimized efficiency, and Normal for a balanced everyday setup. It’s a powertrain that respects Land Cruiser’s legacy for toughness while elevating the drive with modern refinement and instant torque.

Full-Time 4-Wheel Drive with 2-Speed Transfer Case

Standard Full-Time 4-Wheel Drive continuously sends power to both front and rear axles, enhancing stability and traction across mixed surfaces. You don’t have to remember to “turn it on” when conditions change—this system works for you, all the time. An electronically controlled 2-speed transfer case lets you dial in high or low range, so you can trade speed for torque on steep, loose, or technical ground. The result is a more settled, predictable feel on wet pavement and a more controlled crawl when the route gets rough. With the system always active and optimized, the Land Cruiser builds confidence on everything from slick commutes to uneven fire roads and trail approaches.

Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) and Crawl Control (CRAWL)

Off-road confidence starts with the right tools. Crawl Control (CRAWL) acts like an off-road cruise control, modulating throttle and braking at low speeds so you can focus on steering through rocks, ruts, or sand. Available Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) fine-tunes power delivery and traction control to match the surface beneath you, helping maximize grip and momentum. Pair these systems with the available Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM), which uses cameras to show the area around your tires and underbody, and you gain a clear view of obstacles you might otherwise miss. Together, these technologies transform challenging terrain into a more manageable, methodical process—an especially welcome help on narrow, technical trails.

Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM)

The available Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM) allows the front stabilizer bar to decouple, increasing wheel articulation to keep more tire contact on uneven ground. Greater articulation helps the Land Cruiser maintain traction as the terrain twists and pitches, improving composure and forward progress. When you’re back on level roads, the bar can reconnect to restore flatter, more controlled cornering. This dual personality lets you enjoy the benefits of a stiffer, more settled on-road ride without sacrificing the flexibility that serious off-roading demands. It’s a thoughtful, trail-forward capability that’s easy to appreciate during real-world transitions between highway and trailhead.

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 brings a suite of driver-assist features designed to support you in busy traffic, on highways, and in low-speed maneuvering. Enhanced camera and radar capabilities feed advanced systems to help with awareness and collision avoidance. Pair this with smart conveniences like a crisp Head-Up Display that keeps key info in your line of sight, and cabin tech that includes Qi Wireless Charging and USB-C ports to keep devices powered. At night or in adverse weather, Land Cruiser trim’s Rigid Industries® Color-Selectable LED Fog Lights can add helpful forward illumination, while available Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM) assists in tight parking or technical trail sections. It’s a cohesive tech story that serves you on every drive.
