The long‑awaited price tag for Toyota’s revived Land Cruiser FJ has finally been announced in Thailand, and enthusiasts are already eyeing its upcoming arrival in Vietnam. Below we break down the numbers, key specifications, and what buyers can expect in the coming months.
Official Thai Pricing
As of early March 2024, the base model of the Land Cruiser FJ is listed at 1.289 million Thai Baht – roughly 1 billion Vietnamese dong at current exchange rates. This figure aligns closely with the estimates that international automotive media had forecasted during the vehicle’s teaser phase.
Specs and Powertrain
- Engine: 2.7‑litre 4‑cylinder inline 2TR‑FE, delivering 163 hp (121 kW) and 246 Nm of torque.
- Transmission: 6‑speed automatic Super ECT.
- Drivetrain: Part‑time 4WD system suited for both on‑road comfort and off‑road capability.
- Body style: Three‑door, rugged SUV with classic Land Cruiser proportions.
These specifications preserve the Land Cruiser’s reputation for durability while incorporating modern efficiency and comfort features.
Vietnam Release Plans and Expected Price
Toyota dealerships in Vietnam have hinted that the Land Cruiser FJ could debut in the third quarter of 2024. Though deposits are not yet being taken, the projected retail range for the Vietnamese market is between 1.6 billion and 1.8 billion VND. This pricing reflects import duties, local taxes, and the vehicle’s premium positioning within Toyota’s SUV lineup.
Market Outlook and Availability Challenges
Given the strong demand for off‑road capable SUVs in Southeast Asia, analysts expect demand to outstrip supply shortly after launch. Potential buyers should be prepared for limited initial allocations and possible waiting periods, especially if the model proves as popular in Vietnam as it does in Thailand.
While the price point is higher than some of its rivals, the Land Cruiser FJ’s heritage, robust engineering, and blend of modern technology make it a compelling choice for adventure‑oriented drivers.
