New Delhi: Following years of speculations, Toyota have at last brought back the FJ Cruiser. It has only been a few months since the chunky off-roader
was unveiled, and it has already transformed into four custom versions. All of them just steal your glance at once but they are not exactly for sale, but in fact “designed to inspire the custom car market.
To be precise, the Japanese auto giant wants the aftermarket to replicate these later on. Toyota have made a few variants of these FJ Cruisers that each follow a certain theme.
Toyota FJ Cruiser different look
There is the legendary nameplate “The Legendary”, which goes back to the olden days, like the J70. Toyota still sells the SUV in some markets and the FJ Cruiser, the off-roader with chrome steel wheels and body accents.
In this retro iteration, the 2026 FJ Cruiser comes with vintage lettering on the front fenders, with Yokohama Geolander all-terrain tyres. You get mud flaps with a prominent Toyota wordmark at all four corners, further toughening the connection between the little off-roader and the big Land Cruiser.
“The Street Cruise” goes a radical route with its meant for urban jungle look. Toyota has lowered the ride height and fitted black wheels that would even go with cars that come out from the Gazoo Racing performance division. Red Bremo-branded brake callipers also sneak out from the spokes at both axles.
There is even a roof spoiler, bisected by a roof antenna. The back is heavily changed, coming with the spare wheel removed for a bike rack.
Toyota have even brought a “Meridian” coming with go-anywhere credentials. It comes with a snorkel for wading deep waters, along with a roof rack for off-road gear, and even a fuel can, and Toyo Open Country R/T tyres.
“The Nature Explorer” is the final one, with a camper-style conversion coming with a rooftop tent and a side-mounted awning as well. It comes with additional auxiliary lights, a two-tone finish with body decals and a custom fuel cap. The FJ Cruiser is quite desirable, but for now it is limited to Japan, Thailand and some other countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. It is expected to come to India, and it will definitely be a looker.
