The all-new Toyota Land Cruiser FJ and its two variants, VX (left and center) & TX (right)

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) officially starts retail sales of the all-new Land Cruiser FJ, expanding one of Toyota’s most iconic nameplates with a more compact SUV designed for today’s drivers. For generations, the Land Cruiser has been recognized in the Philippines for its exceptional durability, reliability, and ability to tackle challenging terrain, making it a trusted companion for both everyday journeys and demanding expeditions. The all-new Land Cruiser FJ brings that same Land Cruiser DNA into a more accessible, maneuverable package that balances legendary capability with the practicality needed for daily driving.

Drawing inspiration from classic Land Cruiser models, the all-new Land Cruiser FJ adopts a bold, upright silhouette with short overhangs, a wide stance, and generous ground clearance to support its off-road capability. At the same time, its compact proportions make it practical for city driving, offering a balance between rugged functionality and daily usability. The rear side-access cargo door, rear-mounted spare tire, and squared-off body panels further reinforce its utilitarian character while providing a platform suited for personalization and outdoor-oriented builds.

Land Cruiser FJ VX

Proven Power for the City and the Off-Road

Inside, the cabin adopts a functional, driver-oriented layout designed for everyday usability. Durable materials, intuitive controls, and modern infotainment features create a practical environment for daily commutes while remaining ready for weekend adventures.

Powering both the TX and VX variants is a 2.7-liter 2TR-FE naturally aspirated gasoline engine, producing 166 horsepower and 245Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and a part-time four-wheel-drive system, operating in rear-wheel drive during normal road use and allowing drivers to engage four-wheel drive when additional traction is needed.

The Land Cruiser FJ uses a ladder-frame chassis paired with a double-wishbone front suspension and a four-link rear suspension, delivering the structural strength expected from the Land Cruiser name while maintaining ride comfort for everyday use. Active Traction Control System (A-TRC) comes standard for both variants, supporting vehicle stability across varying terrain.

Both variants measure 4,610mm long and 1,855mm wide, ride on a 2,580mm wheelbase, and provide 245mm of ground clearance. The TX stands 1,890mm tall while the VX measures 1,950mm in height.

The TX is intended for customers seeking a straightforward and capable 4×4 that can readily be adapted to their needs. It comes equipped with 17-inch steel wheels, LED lighting, a 9-inch infotainment display, a 7-inch TFT instrument cluster, synthetic leather seats with manual adjustments, and physical controls for key vehicle functions, including a leverparking brake and rotary selector for four-wheel-drive modes, reinforcing its functional, driver-focused character.

For customers looking for additional comfort, technology, and safety, the VX builds on the TX’s rugged foundation with premium enhancements. It upgrades to 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, side steps, a larger 12.3-inch infotainment display, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, a leather shift knob, and a Panoramic View Monitor. The VX also comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes a Pre-Collision System, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, and Automatic High Beam, providing additional driver support for both everyday driving and off-road journeys.

At the end of Race Weekend 2, Red Diwa leads the Super Sporting Class, while Bern Zaragoza and Iñigo Anton lead the Sporting and Tamaraw Classes respectively

2026 TGR Philippine Cup Race Weekend 2 Drivers

The second Race Weekend of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippine Cup, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP)’s premier racing series, is in the books. This leg was held at the Clark International Speedway in Pampanga.

Fuel Testing Area

Beyond the usual competition on the racetrack, Race Weekend 2 of the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippine Cup also served an important purpose: the event became a “rolling laboratory” for testing low-carbon biofuels. TMP is the first car manufacturer to test the use of biofuels for motorsports in the Philippines, and this initiative comes in line with its mission to advance the cause of more sustainable motorsports.

Tamaraw OMRs during the Tamaraw Class Sprint Race

The racecars competing this weekend in the Vios One-Make Races used an E20 bio-ethanol blend, while the Tamaraw One-Make Races used a B5 coco-biodiesel blend. In addition to being low-carbon alternatives, the use of these biofuels supports Philippine energy security and agricultural sector development, as it helps reduce petroleum importation while sourcing biofuel products from feedstock grown by local coconut and sugarcane farmers.

Vios OMR during the Sporting Class Sprint Race

Through testing in extreme motorsports conditions on the racetrack, Toyota continues to evaluate the biofuels’ performance, efficiency, and reliability, and commits to share results with government agencies and key biofuel stakeholders advocating for broader public adoption. Currently, around three-quarters of Toyota and Lexus gasoline models are already E20-compatible, while all Toyota diesel models are B5-compatible.

This biofuel initiative is a major step in Toyota’s multi-pathway approach, which seeks to diversify both powertrain technologies and energy sources in the wider goal of carbon neutrality.

The increased use of and capacity for locally sourced biofuels is a big win for fuel security in the Philippines, as it aims to gradually reduce the country’s dependence on imported fossil fuels. Providing motorists with more sustainable fuel options for common ICE models such as the Vios and Tamaraw is also a big win for the auto industry as a whole. Local farmers also win in this setup as they enjoy increased demand for their locally produced feedstocks that are used in the production of these biofuels.

TMP President and Tamaraw Class Racer Masando Hashimoto

“Using biofuels matters because first, it helps make our fuel supply more stable. If we can produce more of what we need locally, we are less affected by problems happening far away. Second, it supports our farmers. By using more coconut-based fuel, we create more demand for what they produce,” said TMP President Masando Hashimoto.

Racing for Team TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippines are TMP President Masando Hashimoto, Justin “Buzzhype” Santos, Chenee Jimenez, Alex Lim aka BanaweBoy, Enzo Ison, and Will Lucas. Other events that happened during Race Weekend 2 include the GR50 challenge and car club fun runs.

Below is the full list of winners for Race Weekend 2:

• Race Weekend 3 at theBatangas Racing Circuit on August 13-15, and
• Race Weekend 4 back at theClark International Speedway on September 10-12. 

With its groundbreaking drive to test biofuels in racing, Race Weekend 2 is a testament to how TOYOTA GAZOO Racing is committed to push the limits and innovate technologies that pave the way for a greener and more sustainable future in both motorsports and mobility.

Race Weekend 2 to happen on July 9 to 11 at the Clark International Speedway

After putting the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Philippine Cup on hold in March, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) now announces the resumption of its premier racing series with succeeding races serving as a platform for innovation and responsibility.

Race Weekend 2 will be happening on July 9 to 11 at the Clark International Speedway in Mabalacat, Pampanga. It will be the second out of four race weekends planned for the TGR Philippine Cup in 2026.

The TGR Philippine Cup has been bringing the thrill and joy of motorsports closer to Filipinos since it was launched in 2014. In March, the racing event attracted more than 6,000 spectators when it brought the action to Riverpark, Cavite for Race Weekend 1. It was during that weekend that the series debuted the Tamaraw Racing Class, which makes use of the locally made Tamaraw one-make race car.

For Race Weekend 2, the TGR Philippine Cup returns with sustainability at the forefront. As a “rolling laboratory,” the racing event will utilize low-carbon biofuels to run its two one-make race vehicles, the Vios OMR and Tamaraw OMR. Through motorsports, the extreme racing conditions will serve as a test platform for the usage benefits of 5% coco-biodiesel blend (B5) and 20% bio-ethanol blend (E20), offering a unique opportunity to push vehicles to their limits.

Demonstrating a strong commitment to fuel flexibility, three-quarters of Toyota and Lexus gas models are already E20 compatible, while all of Toyota diesel models are B5 compatible.

“Motorsports has always been a testbed for progress, and this season, TGR Philippines will take a step forward by actively exploring alternative fuels in competitive racing conditions. Testing biofuels in motorsports allows us to evaluate performance, efficiency and reliability in high-demand environments, so this will be a pivotal moment for the wider adoption of low-carbon biofuels in the Philippines,” shared TMP First Vice President for Vehicle Sales Operations Elijah Marcial.

“As a company committed to reducing carbon emissions, we recognize that every activity must contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable future. Alternative fuels help reduce dependency on non-renewables like petroleum, so using biofuel for our motorsports events aligns with our multi-pathway approach, which includes diversifying our energy sources to contribute to our broader goal of carbon neutrality,” shared TMP Vice President for Government and Industry Affairs Elvin Luciano.

Race Weekend 2 will continue to be open to the public on July 11. Admission is FREE.

Marvin Martinez, UAAGI Director for Dealer Development; Paul Nikko Sayson, JAPI Sales Director; Jason Ng, Prima Sierra Autohaus Inc. General Manager; Enrico Miguel Subido, Jetour GAIA Deputy Director for Marketing
(Front Row, seated l-r:) Alvin Lu, MG Gateway Mantrade Corp. General Manager; Markane Goho, MG Gateway Mantrade Corp. Chairman & CEO; Timothy Sytin, UAAGI Executive Director; Kenneth L. Sytin, UAAGI Vice Chairman; Miguelito L. Jose, JAPI Managing Director; Henson P. Lee, Prima Sierra Autohaus Inc. President; Atty. Janelyn S. Pua-Ng, Prima Sierra Autohaus Inc. Executive Director

The UAAGI Auto Group has completed strategic dealership partnerships with MG Gateway Mantrade Corp. (Gateway) and Prima Sierra Autohaus, Inc. to manage its latest Jetour GAIA retail locations.

Under the agreement, Gateway will oversee the upcoming Jetour GAIA Space in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), while Prima Sierra will lead the development and operations of the Jetour GAIA Space in Alabang. These expansions establish a corporate retail footprint in key economic and high-end commercial districts in the country, aligning with the premium market positioning of Jetour GAIA.

The expansion marks a deliberate strategy by the UAAGI Auto Group, effectively leveraging the institutional scale, financial liquidity, and local market expertise of two of the local automotive industry’s most prominent investment groups to accelerate market penetration.

The BGC facility, under Gateway management, will occupy a prime commercial location at 7th Avenue corner 30th Street, Taguig City, with an official opening target scheduled for early Q3 2026.

Concurrently, Prima Sierra’s Alabang facility will be positioned along Commerce Avenue within Filinvest City, Alabang, with full facility completion slated for early Q4 2026.

To capture immediate market demand ahead of the permanent facility’s completion, Prima Sierra will deploy a dedicated pop-up retail operation in Alabang starting early Q3 2026. Operations have advanced ahead of the infrastructure completions, with sales teams at both the BGC and Alabang networks actively processing vehicle reservations, and managing early-stage client relations.

Both operations will integrate into the centralized logistics, technical, and operational infrastructure of the UAAGI Auto Group. Beyond the corporate dealership activation, UAAGI has committed institutional resources to secure sustained commercial viability and positive asset margins for its dealer partners, backed by comprehensive aftersales support.

UAAGI’s localized aftersales program includes optimized spare parts supply lines to eliminate inventory lag, alongside standardized technical training programs managed via specialized learning modules. These high-capacity technical programs incorporate critical instruction in Advanced Hybrid and Electric Vehicle (EV) Systems, equipping dealer technicians with the specialized engineering capabilities required to service next-generation powertrains. This standardized operational model will govern all service activities across the new BGC and Alabang spaces to maintain service continuity.

Jetour GAIA Space BGC

UAAGI’s network scaling coincides with sustained market demand for Jetour GAIA’s flagship model, the G700 plug-in hybrid full-size SUV, which has reconfigured competitive dynamics within the domestic luxury off-road automotive segment.

The G700 will serve as the core product offering at both the BGC and Alabang locations upon their respective openings.

To build upon this market entry, Jetour GAIA has confirmed the introduction of a second highly competitive product line scheduled for release some time in Q3 2026. The upcoming model will achieve immediate nationwide availability across all official GAIA Spaces. Detailed specifications, trim variations, and specific market pricing configurations for the Q3 product release will be disclosed in subsequent corporate statements.

Jose, JAPI Managing Director; Markane Goho, MG Gateway Mantrade Corp. Chairman & CEO; Alvin Lu, MG Gateway Mantrade Corp. General Manager

The activation of the BGC and Alabang locations expands Jetour GAIA’s operational footprint to three dedicated facilities. The network includes the fully operational Jetour GAIA Space North EDSA, situated opposite Solaire Resort North and TriNoma, which currently handles full-scale retail sales, corporate accounts, and complete aftersales service operations.

UAAGI management confirmed that negotiations are advanced for an additional two GAIA Spaces within key strategic quadrants of Metro Manila. This phase-two expansion is projected to bring the brand’s total network to five operational dealerships before the close of fiscal year 2026, establishing a comprehensive urban footprint.

This expansion of its operational network highlights UAAGI Auto Group’s long-term plan to strengthen its position in the premium off-road vehicle segment by combining robust engineering with advanced propulsion technologies. By offering scalable profit potential, dependable supply chain execution, and strong technical support systems, the group positions itself as an attractive and lower-risk platform for institutional investors. For experienced investors and automotive dealer groups with strong industry insight, aligning with UAAGI Auto Group and the Jetour GAIA ecosystem represents a strategic, forward-looking investment into a growing automotive segment with strong long-term economic potential.

Toyota’s expanded roster strengthens its commitment to athletes in Asia ahead of the 2026 Asian Games and Asian Para Games.

• The line-up includes two new para-athletes – Indonesian para cyclist Muhammad Fadli Imamuddin and Malaysian para-athletics sprinter Muhammad Ammar Aiman Nor Azmi – alongside five returning athletes from the Paris 2024 cycle.
• Each athlete will be paired with a Dual Hero Project, a Toyota-supported initiative within the Asia region that gives back to the communities that shaped them
• Olympic gymnastics champion Carlos Yulo and Paralympic swimmer Ernie Gawilan also continue to represent the Philippines since joining in 2024.

Toyota Motor Asia (TMA) has unveiled its updated roster of seven Global Team Toyota Athletes (GTTAs) representing six Southeast Asian countries, as they prepare for the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games and Asian Para Games. The lineup features two new para-athletes as well as returning competitors from the Paris 2024 cycle. The announcement is aligned with Toyota’s regional brand platform, Move Your World, and underscores the company’s long-standing belief that sport reflects the essence of human potential.

The Philippines continues to be represented by Olympic gymnastics gold medalist Carlos Yulo and Paralympic swimmer Ernie Gawilan.

New to the team are Indonesia’s Muhammad Fadli Imamuddin and Malaysia’s Muhammad Ammar Aiman Nor Azmi, who will join five Global Team Toyota Athletes from Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam across a range of sporting disciplines. Since 2018, Toyota has partnered with over 20 Global Team Toyota Athletes in Asia, supporting athletes who not only represent sporting excellence, but also embody the power of movement to drive progress beyond competition. As Toyota continues to evolve, its athlete partnerships remain a key expression of its Move Your World philosophy, where mobility extends beyond movement to create access, opportunity and progress within communities. Through the Global Team Toyota Athletes, Toyota continues to champion sport as a platform for inspiration, inclusion and meaningful community impact.

The full line-up of Global Team Toyota Athletes include:

“At Toyota, sport is a reflection of the human experience — the hope, the doubt, the dignity in defeat and the joy of moving forward together.

Across Asia, our seven Global Team Toyota Athletes embody that spirit, and it is our privilege to stand beside these athletes that continue to inspire and demonstrate how far dedication and courage can take them, both in competition and beyond.

Their journeys highlight the power of sport and its ability to open up new possibilities. Through Move Your World, we aim to support their ambitions in the lead-up to Aichi-Nagoya 2026, and to work alongside them in creating lasting impact in the communities that shaped them.” — Preston Tan, Vice President, Toyota Motor Asia

Dual Hero Projects: Turning Athlete Journeys into Community Impact

As part of the long-standing partnership with athletes in Asia, Toyota continues to drive positive impact through its Dual Hero Projects. Launched in 2018, the initiative pairs each athlete with a Toyota-supported project tied to a cause they care deeply about – extending their impact beyond competition and into the communities that shaped them. Since its inception, the programme has supported over 20 athlete-led initiatives across the region.

In Singapore, Paralympic swimmer Toh Wei Soong co-created a 16-piece adaptive fashion collection that challenges perceptions of disability through inclusive design. In the Philippines, Gawilan led a nationwide coastal cleanup and mangrove restoration initiative, mobilizing more than 1,300 volunteers across 33 sites and planting over 10,000 mangroves – restoring the very waters that accompanied his journey as an athlete.  Meanwhile, Yulo has worked closely with Toyota through the “Start Your Impossible” Gymnastics Camp, a youth development initiative that provides aspiring gymnasts with opportunities to learn from one of the sport’s biggest stars while inspiring them to dream bigger and reach their full potential.

Similar Dual Hero Projects will be developed with each Asia GTTA across the span of our partnership with them.

Sport at the heart of Move Your World

As preparations for Aichi-Nagoya 2026 get underway, Toyota’s expanded roster of Asian athletes unites individuals who are pursuing excellence in sport while also contributing to positive change in their communities. Through their achievements in athletics, advocacy work, and grassroots initiatives, their stories embody the spirit of Move Your World—the idea that true progress happens when movement creates opportunities for others.

Jetour GAIA, the premium, high-luxury, electrified, off-road sub-brand of Jetour, officially embarks on a campaign to highlight the brand’s flagship luxury SUV, the Jetour G700. Debuting under the tagline “Beyond the Horizon,” this groundbreaking vehicle blends advanced new energy engineering and luxurious appointments with rugged performance, demonstrating that extreme off-road capability can perfectly coexist with first-class cabin opulence. The introduction of the G700 signals a bold new era for the modern luxury automotive segment in the country.

The G700 fulfills its ethos by delivering the ultimate luxury: zero compromise. Eliminating the historical choice between the serene comfort of an executive cruiser and the mechanical resilience required for extreme exploration, the G700 offers an unparalleled sanctuary fully equipped to conquer every terrain.

Visually, the Jetour G700 stands large in stature, offering an exceptionally commanding drive. The vehicle asserts its presence with imposing dimensions: 5,198 mm in length, 2,050 mm in width, and 1,956 mm in height, built upon an expansive 2,870 mm wheelbase. Engineered to rise above challenging terrain, it features up to 300 mm of ground clearance and a maximum 900 mm water wading depth. An adjustable, adaptive air suspension system allows this, dynamically altering ride height and dampening characteristics to guarantee a plush ride over tarmac and effortless traversal through deep water.

A front, vertically mounted 2.0T turbocharged petrol engine drives performance, working hand in hand with dual permanent magnet synchronous motors that deliver 210 kW to the front axle and 300 kW to the rear. Together, this plug-in hybrid architecture unleashes a staggering 904 Ps of power and 1,135 Nm of torque, rocketing the SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 4.6 seconds. Equipped with a 100-liter fuel tank and a 34.13 kWh battery, it delivers an impressive combined range of up to 1,000 kilometers, masterfully balancing high performance with quiet, refined operation.

Built for unpredictable environments, the Jetour G700 features a real-time electric 4WD system with intuitive traction control for precise power delivery. The vehicle includes highly specialized off-road technologies such as tank turn capability, creep mode, and an innovative transparent chassis view. To secure maximum traction over loose or uneven surfaces, the G700 includes standard front and rear locking differentials, providing absolute mechanical assurance whether navigating rocky ascents or sandy tracks.

Inside, the G700 transforms every journey into an indulgent, lifestyle-oriented experience. Front passengers enjoy fully electric, ventilated seats equipped with adjustable lumbar support, multi-mode massage functionality, and personalized memory presets. This uncompromising luxury extends to the rear passengers, where the second row elevates travel with electrically adjustable leg rests and a dedicated massage function, while an electric third row optimizes passenger and cargo flexibility at the touch of a button.

To maintain an optimal atmosphere, the cabin utilizes an automatic climate control system with independent rear A/C. For enhanced air quality, the ventilation system features a medical-grade CN95 PM2.5 filtration setup alongside an integrated cabin fragrance system to ensure a clean, refined environment. Furthermore, an elite, 18-speaker Lexicon by Harman setup tailors the acoustic performance, delivering a true surround-sound experience with rich, balanced audio for all media and calls.

The G700’s digital layout centers around an ultra-wide 35.4-inch instrument display, a responsive 15.6-inch central touchscreen, and a 17.3-inch entertainment screen for rear passengers. Powered by a high-tier Snapdragon 8255 processor, the infotainment system seamlessly supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and voice commands. This intelligent control system matches top-notch safety features, including a comprehensive 23-point Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), comprehensive airbag protection (front, side, and curtain), and a 360-degree surround-view camera.

Crucial to the long-term ownership experience, the robust aftersales support of Jetour GAIA operates under the expansive wing of the UAAGI Auto Group and its 20 years of expertise in the local automotive market. Jetour GAIA benefits directly from the UAAGI Auto Group’s extensive nationwide network, meaning customers from all corners of the Philippines receive high-quality, professional aftersales services for their G700 unit, ensuring factory-certified technicians and genuine spare parts remain always accessible.

Reinforcing a steadfast commitment to quality, an industry-leading vehicle warranty package backs the G700. Jetour GAIA offers a 6-year or 250,000-kilometer General Warranty, alongside an outstanding 8-year or 160,000-kilometer High Voltage Battery Warranty, whichever comes first. Add both to an Engine Warranty of 10 years or 1,000,000 kilometers and this comprehensive coverage gives drivers ultimate peace of mind as they make the modern switch to a high-performance, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.

To showcase this new standard of luxury, the brand celebrates the official opening of the Jetour GAIA Space in North EDSA, Quezon City (located across Trinoma and Solaire North). This modern facility precedes upcoming GAIA Space openings in prominent business and lifestyle hubs, including Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and Alabang, with later expansions planned for other strategic parts of the country to solidify the brand’s long-term local footprint.

The Jetour G700 stands as an eloquent testament to what lies “Beyond the Horizon.” It represents the absolute zenith of electrified luxury, engineered specifically for those who shape their own destiny and accept no boundaries. Discerning connoisseurs and premium automotive enthusiasts receive a cordial invitation to visit the nearest Jetour GAIA Space to experience this masterful fusion of refinement and rugged capability firsthand.

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has given a preview of the three new models that it will be displaying at the 10th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS). From June 4 to 7, 2026, attendees will be able to see the all-new Land Cruiser FJ, Hilux BEV, and the Land Cruiser 300 HEV in the metal.

The Legend Continues

The All-New Land Cruiser FJ

The Land Cruiser line has a fresh new addition to its withstanding legacy with the Land Cruiser FJ. The LC FJ, which stands for Land Cruiser Freedom & Joy, highlights the nameplate’s adventurous and versatile nature. Bringing together the Land Cruiser’s 4×4 heritage in a more accessible and compact package, the LC FJ gives customers a new way to enjoy the Land Cruiser legacy in both the city and the trail.

The LC FJ features an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) perfect for maximizing its 4×4 nature. It also features a Differential Lock, Auto Limited Slip Differential, 2^nd Start Mode, and a Panoramic View Monitor, giving it a rugged yet urban-ready approach.

Invincible Spirit, Electrified

The All-New Hilux BEV

With its “invincible spirit” of durability and performance, the all-new Hilux is ready to make its debut in the country as a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV). The arrival of a 4×4 BEV is a new step toward the future for the Hilux nameplate, and one that caters to customers who look to take charge toward an electrified future. Guided by the Tough and Agile design philosophy, customers can expect the Hilux BEV to have a much more dynamic and sophisticated fascia in the form of a “Cyber-Sumo” aesthetic.

Aligned with Toyota’s efforts in improving their cars, the diesel variants of the Hilux have also adopted this design language, alongside the high-grade version of a 2.8-liter, turbo-diesel engine-reiterating Toyota’s mission of constantly improving their cars to better cater to the needs of their customers.

Toyota’s Heritage Driving Towards the Future

Thoughtfully crafted innovation meets heritage in the LC300 HEV. The all-new LC300 HEV is set to redefine its legendary status with the combination of the Land Cruiser 300’s proven durability, unmatched power and performance, and Toyota’s practical hybrid system added to its 3.5 V6 engine. Additionally, the LC300 HEV now includes electronic power steering, giving customers a much smoother driving experience.

The body kit of the LC300 has also gone through improvements with it now being an Aero body kit with Jet Black Garnish.

The LC300 HEV’s new powertrain offers Land Cruiser heritage with improved driving experience using practical HEV technology. With the addition of an HEV variant to the LC300 line, Toyota looks to further solidify its efforts in contributing to reducing carbon emissions through electrified vehicles.

All-New Cars Backed by Legacy

With the confirmation of these three new models, Toyota once again fully commits itself to empowering customers by giving them multiple mobility options to choose from. Backed by a legacy of proven quality, durability, and reliability, Toyota aims to continue providing customers with their perfect ride home that answers the different needs of each customer.
