2026 Toyota Land Cruiser Trim Levels: Everything You Need to Know

Jun 1, 2026

The Toyota Land Cruiser has long carried a reputation built on decades of durability, off-road capability, and global adventure. For 2026, the Land Cruiser returns with its streamlined two-trim lineup — offering buyers a clear, straightforward choice between two well-equipped configurations. Whether you’re drawn to the heritage-inspired styling of the 1958 trim or the feature-rich standard Land Cruiser, understanding what each version offers is the first step toward making a confident, informed decision.

At Toyota of New Bern, we want to make sure you have all the information you need. This guide breaks down both 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser trim levels side by side — no fluff, just the facts.

A Quick Look at the 2026 Land Cruiser Lineup

The 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser is offered in two trim levels:

Land Cruiser 1958 — Starting at approximately $57,200 (plus destination)
Land Cruiser — Starting at approximately $63,275 (plus destination)

Both trims share the same powertrain, the same body-on-frame construction, and the same standard full-time four-wheel drive. The differences come down to styling choices, interior refinement, and technology upgrades.

What Powers the 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser?

Regardless of which trim you choose, both versions of the 2026 Land Cruiser are powered by Toyota’s i-FORCE MAX hybrid system — a turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Combined output is rated at 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. Four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case is standard on both trims, as are front and rear locking differentials.

Fuel economy is rated at an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city / 25 mpg highway / 23 mpg combined across both trim levels. The Land Cruiser is also rated to tow up to 6,000 pounds.
