Toyota has officially confirmed that the legendary off‑road SUV, the Land Cruiser FJ, will hit Vietnamese showrooms by the end of July 2025. The announcement, posted on the automaker’s Vietnamese Facebook page, frames the FJ as a compact yet rugged addition to the Land Cruiser family.
What We Know So Far
While the exact retail price remains under wraps, industry insiders estimate the Vietnamese market price to fall between 1.6 and 1.8 billion VND (approximately $68,000‑$77,000 USD). If these figures hold, the FJ would become the most budget‑friendly Land Cruiser variant available in Vietnam, undercutting the larger Prado (≈3.46 billion VND) and the premium Land Cruiser 300 (≈4.58 billion VND).
International Debut Highlights
The Land Cruiser FJ first captured global attention at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2025 and later at the Bangkok International Motor Expo in March 2025. Both events showcased the model’s blend of classic Land Cruiser styling with modern technology, sparking strong interest from enthusiasts and potential buyers.

How It Stacks Up Locally
Before the FJ, the only compact off‑road SUV competing in Vietnam’s niche segment was the Japanese‑imported Suzuki Jimny, priced around 789 million VND. The Land Cruiser FJ’s anticipated price range places it well above the Jimny but still far below the larger Land Cruiser models, offering a middle ground of premium branding with more accessible pricing.
What to Expect at Launch
Dealers have already begun taking deposits for the FJ as early as February, signaling strong demand. Prospective buyers can look forward to a launch event in late July, where Toyota is expected to reveal local pricing, trim levels, and financing options.
Why It Matters
For Vietnamese consumers who value Toyota’s reputation for durability and resale value, the Land Cruiser FJ could become the go‑to choice for both city driving and weekend adventures. Its compact dimensions make it easier to navigate urban traffic, while the robust off‑road capability ensures it can handle Vietnam’s diverse terrain.
