A few noteworthy tweaks make their way to the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser lineup.
This spring, the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser will roll into dealerships all over the U.S. Fundamentally, the brand’s iconic off-road SUV hasn’t changed much, but it is getting some tweaks to its available features as well as one piece of off-road gear from the 4Runner and Tacoma. Now, the Land Cruiser gets the option of a raised air intake, a feature that’s been a hallmark of the TRD Pro as well as the recently added Trailhunter models.
The “high-mount air intake”, as Toyota refers to it on the configurator, is a $980 option available on either the base 1958 as well as the top-end Land Cruiser trim. Beyond that update, the Land Cruiser’s black exterior color now gets an actual name, “Inked”, and you can now get heated and ventilated second-row seats on the upper LC trim through the $4,905 Premium Package.
In terms of its overall pricing, the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser (fortunately) isn’t going up much over 2026. The base 1958 model’s MSRP now stands at $59,375 including destination, while the higher Land Cruiser comes to $65,450, including Toyota’s $1,495 destination fee. That’s up $280 from last year, so while it is an increase, it’s not that bad against what we’ve seen from some other recent price hikes.
As before, the one and only powertrain option for the 2027 Land Cruiser is a 2.4-liter four-cylinder hybrid, packing 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic and full-time four-wheel drive come as part of the standard package, as does a locking center and rear differential.
Generally speaking, are the options going to split more folks toward the Land Cruiser over the 4Runner? We’ll have to see, but LC sales are down by about half so far this year after the initial launch bump, while the 4Runner is getting into its stride (sales of that model picked up by nearly 300% after Toyota ramped up production this time last year).
