Toyota has officially unveiled the 2025 Land Cruiser Hybrid in the UAE, marking the first-ever hybrid iteration of its iconic full-size SUV. Rolled out by Al‑Futtaim Toyota, this debut highlights Toyota’s commitment to electrified powertrains without sacrificing legendary off-road performance .
Power & Efficiency: Twin‑Turbo Hybrid System
Under the hood lies a 3.5‑litre twin‑turbo V6 engine paired with a sophisticated hybrid system. This drivetrain produces a commanding 457 horsepower and 790 Nm of torque, delivering a 20% boost in torque and a 40% sharper throttle response compared to the previous petrol-only model .
Importantly, the hybrid system includes a fail-safe mode—if the hybrid components malfunction, the petrol engine can still operate independently, making it exceptionally reliable for harsh terrains .
Rugged Yet Refined: Built for Extremes
Built for the harshest terrains, the Land Cruiser Hybrid has proven its mettle across the UAE’s scorching deserts, rocky wadis, and rugged mountain trails. Its advanced hybrid battery and electronics are purpose-engineered to withstand deep water crossings and extreme heat, ensuring relentless durability during demanding off-road adventures. With its legendary ladder-frame chassis, reinforced suspension, and advanced 4WD system, the vehicle remains fully capable in the most demanding conditions.
Luxurious & Tech-Loaded Interior
While off-road-ready, the interior emphasizes luxury and utility. Available in VXR and GR-S trims, it features leather seats with GR branding, an adaptive suspension system tuned for both comfort and performance, and a built-in 1500 W AC inverter—ideal for powering equipment during expeditions .
Safety and convenience are prioritized with advanced driver-assist tech including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and electric power steering. The cabin itself is plush and well-equipped, suitable for both rugged adventures and premium daily commutes .
