2027 Toyota Land Cruiser: What Is Confirmed, What Is Reported and What Fits

Search for "2027 Land Cruiser" and you will find three different vehicles under one name. In Japan the label is used for the updated 300 Series. In the United States it is the smaller 250 Series. In the UAE, the only Land Cruisers that Toyota's website lists as 2027 models are the Prado and the new Land Cruiser FJ. This article separates what Toyota has confirmed from what the press has reported, and looks at what changes for accessories.

The short version

• 300 Series in the UAE: still listed as a 2026 model. We found no announcement of a 2027 update from Toyota or Al-Futtaim.
• 300 Series in Japan: updated on 16 September 2026, with a hybrid added.
• Facelift: none announced. The Toyota releases we found mention new bumpers on some versions, but no new headlamps or tail lamps.
• Prado and Land Cruiser FJ: listed in the UAE as 2027 models.

What Toyota has confirmed for the 300 Series

Japan

Toyota's Japanese newsroom announced a "partial improvement" of the 300 Series on 16 September 2026, on sale from 1 October. The release confirms:

• a hybrid model in the ZX and GR SPORT grades;
• electric power steering;
• front and rear "aero" bumpers made only for the hybrid ZX;
• a GX grade with a black radiator grille, 18-inch wheels, aluminium side steps and front and rear electric differential locks;
• extra equipment, including wireless phone charging and a 1,500 W power outlet.

The release gives no power figures, prices or model year. Japanese outlets reporting the launch fill in the rest. Kuruma News puts the hybrid at 336 kW (457 PS) and 790 Nm, and says the petrol-only 3.5-litre V6 has been dropped, leaving the hybrid and the 3.3-litre diesel. Car Watch lists prices from ¥6,300,800 for the diesel GX to ¥10,200,300 for the hybrid GR SPORT. The "2027" label comes from English-language press such as Carscoops and Gear Patrol.

The UAE

The hybrid is not new here. Al-Futtaim Toyota launched it in the UAE on 12 June 2025, before other markets, in VXR and GR-S grades with 457 hp, 790 Nm, electric power steering and a 1,500 W inverter. Toyota UAE's website lists three versions, all as 2026 models:

• 4.0-litre V6, 271 hp, from AED 239,900;
• 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6, 409 hp, from AED 335,900;
• Hybrid, 457 hp, from AED 345,900.

So, unlike Japan, the UAE still offers petrol-only engines. One caution on the hybrid price: at its launch, Zigwheels reported prices from AED 389,900. The pages we read do not say whether VAT is included, so confirm the figure for your grade with the dealer.

The 2027 Land Cruisers you can buy here

Prado. Toyota UAE lists the Prado as a 2027 model with a 2.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine and an eight-speed automatic, from AED 199,900. We found no list of changes for the new model year.

Land Cruiser FJ. This is an all-new, smaller model. Toyota launched it in Japan in May 2026: built in Thailand, with a 2.7-litre petrol engine (120 kW, 246 Nm), a six-speed automatic, part-time four-wheel drive and a wheelbase 270 mm shorter than the 250 Series. UAE motoring press reported its arrival here in September 2026. Toyota UAE lists it as a 2027 model in two grades: EXR at AED 139,900 and GXR at AED 154,900.

On 2 November 2026 Toyota announced, in Japan, round headlamps and an "adventure bumper" as new exterior options for FJs going on sale from early January 2027. The photos show prototypes, and Toyota has not said whether Gulf cars will get them.

The American "2027 Land Cruiser". Toyota USA's 2027 model is the 250 Series with a 326 hp hybrid. Its changes are small: an optional high-mounted air intake, heated and ventilated second-row seats and a new paint colour.

What is only reported

• Battery and tank. Carscoops, citing a Japanese car site before the official announcement, reported that the hybrid's battery sits under the cargo area, that the fuel tank shrinks from 80 to 68 litres and that the hybrid weighs about 170 kg more than the petrol V6. Toyota's release does not give these figures.
• "Petrol-only is gone." Gear Patrol wrote that Toyota would "apparently" drop petrol-only engines for 2027. Japanese press says that has happened in Japan. It has not happened in the UAE.

Neither report describes new headlamps, tail lamps or a new grille for the 300 Series. The only styling change they mention is the hybrid's bumper.

Does anything change which accessories fit?

300 Series: watch the bumpers, not the year. Gear Patrol notes that the 300 has been mostly unchanged since its 2021 introduction. What differs is the bumper. In Japan the hybrid ZX has its own front and rear bumpers. In the UAE, Toyota's pages describe "Off-Road Bumpers" on the 4.0-litre, "Aerokit Bumpers" on the 3.5-litre and "Hybrid Design Bumpers" on the hybrid, and Al-Futtaim calls the hybrid VXR's bumpers "newly redesigned". A lip, body kit, guard or bumper lamp has to match the bumper on your car. See Bumpers and our guide to front bumper and grille upgrades.

Hybrid. If the reported battery position is right, ask before fitting anything under or into the rear cargo floor.

Year ranges. A listing that says "2022-2026" was written for the cars sold in those years. With no restyle announced, nothing suggests a later model year will differ, but check by VIN: our fitment guide shows how. Parts for the 300 are on our Land Cruiser 300 page.

Prado and FJ. The Prado is a different vehicle from the 300, and the Land Cruiser FJ is all-new. Do not assume that parts listed for the 300, or for the older FJ Cruiser, fit either. If Toyota brings the round-lamp option to the Gulf, the FJ will also have two front-end styles to tell apart.

If you are buying or modifying now

• When you order bumper parts, quote your engine and grade, not only the year.
• Not sure? Send us your VIN through a part request and we will check the part against your car before you order.
