Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Pre-Registrations Open in Saudi Arabia and UAE

Saudi Arabia: The Land Cruiser FJ, a rugged and more affordable entry into the Land Cruiser family, is coming. Toyota has launched online pre-registration pages for customers in the Kingdom and the UAE. This comes weeks after the model's specifications went live for the region. The move confirms the compact, ladder-frame 4WD is set for a near-term showroom arrival. 

Quick read:

• Official interest registrations are now open for Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
• The FJ is powered by a 2.7-litre petrol engine making 164 bhp and 245 Nm.
• It uses the same ladder-frame IMV platform as the Hilux and Fortuner.
• Pricing is expected to be close to the Toyota Fortuner, undercutting the Prado.

Registration window opens

Toyota has confirmed that online registrations are live for both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with a launch expected in the coming weeks. The official specifications page for the Land Cruiser FJ is now active in the Kingdom, paired with a live registration portal for interested buyers. It’s the clearest signal yet of an imminent launch. The registration process allows prospective customers to be first in line for official pricing and booking announcements from local distributors.

IMV platform, compact footprint

The FJ is built on a short-wheelbase ladder-frame chassis with part-time 4WD and an electronic rear differential lock. Its wheelbase is 250mm shorter than the Land Cruiser Prado 270, and it shares the proven IMV platform with the Hilux and Fortuner. This combination creates a more agile footprint for both urban driving and off-road trails.

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Design philosophy

The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ features Retro-inspired styling, combining classic Land Cruiser design cues with a modern appearance. The squared-off shape recalls older Land Cruiser models, and the Round headlamps add a clear heritage-inspired touch to the exterior.

• Modern cabin: Features a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and digital driver cockpit.
• Smartphone connectivity: Supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
• 18-inch alloy wheels: Fitted with highway-terrain tyres as standard.
• It blends traditional Land Cruiser styling with modern connectivity and comfort features.

Pricing and buyer positioning

The model is expected to be priced around the Toyota Fortuner level, creating a new entry point to the Land Cruiser nameplate. The FJ isn't a Prado replacement. Instead, it carves out a new niche. By targeting the Fortuner's price bracket, Toyota positions the FJ as an affordable, character-driven alternative for buyers who want a true body-on-frame 4WD without the Prado's premium. It offers the heritage of the Land Cruiser name in a package focused on practicality and value. This makes it appealing to families and businesses needing a durable, multi-purpose vehicle.
