The Land Cruiser is the off-road icon that’s gone hybrid without losing its rugged charm.
Trail-ready hybrid power · Tech-savvy off-roader
Hard plastic in base trim · Limited to two rows
The 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser is a nostalgic nod to its rugged roots, now paired with a modern hybrid powertrain that delivers 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque. This SUV is a trail-ready beast, perfect for those who crave adventure without the bulk of previous models. The downsized, two-row layout might be a deal-breaker for some, but it makes navigating narrow trails a breeze. We were pleasantly surprised by its tech upgrades, although some interior materials left us wanting more refinement, especially at the base trim. If you’re a purist who values legendary off-road capability and Japanese craftsmanship, this is your ride. Just be prepared for the premium fuel and a few road noise quirks.
Our pick: Land Cruiser ($64,500)
vs. 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE: The GLE offers more luxurious interiors, but the Land Cruiser wins for those who prioritize off-road prowess and hybrid efficiency.
