The 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ has arrived in the UAE as the smallest member of Toyota’s Land Cruiser family. It combines a compact five-door body with a ladder-frame platform, selectable four-wheel drive and the familiar 2.7-litre petrol engine.

Unlike larger Land Cruiser models, the FJ is designed around a shorter and more compact footprint while retaining hardware aimed at off-road driving. Toyota UAE currently offers it in two variants: EXR and GXR.

Prices start at AED 139,900 for the Land Cruiser FJ EXR and rise to AED 154,900 for the GXR. Both variants use the same engine, automatic transmission and four-wheel drive system, so the additional money for the GXR mainly goes towards cabin materials, exterior equipment and additional safety technology.

So, what separates the two grades? Here’s what you get with each Toyota Land Cruiser FJ variant in the UAE.

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ variants and prices

Toyota UAE lists the 2027 Land Cruiser FJ from AED 139,900. The EXR and GXR share the same 2.7-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 164hp and 245Nm.

What is common across every Toyota Land Cruiser FJ?

The most important point when comparing the two FJ variants is that there is no difference in the core mechanical package.

Both versions use a 2.7-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine producing 164hp and 245Nm, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The selectable part-time 4WD system provides H2, H4 and L4 modes, allowing the driver to select the appropriate setting for paved roads, loose surfaces and more demanding off-road conditions.

Both variants also receive a rear differential lock, Downhill Assist Control and 245mm of ground clearance. Toyota quotes a claimed wading depth of 700mm and fuel efficiency of 10.1km/l.

The FJ measures 4,610mm long, 1,855mm wide and 1,950mm tall, with a 2,580mm wheelbase. It is a five-door, five-seat SUV, with maximum cargo capacity listed at 765 litres.

The basic equipment package is also shared. Both variants get:

• 7-inch multi-information display
• 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Six-speaker audio system
• Dual-zone climate control
• Keyless entry
• Push-button start
• LED headlamps
• Electrically adjustable exterior mirrors
• Front and rear parking sensors
• Rear-view camera
• Steering-wheel-mounted controls

This means the EXR is not a bare-bones version of the FJ. It gets the same engine, 4WD hardware and several of the key cabin and convenience features found in the more expensive GXR.

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ variant-wise features

The UAE Land Cruiser FJ range consists of the EXR and the GXR. Both use the same 2.7-litre petrol engine, six-speed automatic transmission and selectable part-time 4WD system.

Feature availability is based on the UAE-specification information currently available for the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ.

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ EXR

The Land Cruiser FJ EXR starts at AED 139,900, making it the entry point into Toyota’s new compact Land Cruiser range. Importantly, choosing the EXR does not mean giving up the FJ’s main off-road hardware.

The EXR gets the same 2.7-litre petrol engine, six-speed automatic transmission and selectable part-time 4WD system as the GXR. It also has a rear differential lock, Downhill Assist Control and 245mm of ground clearance.

Inside, the EXR includes the 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and push-button start. Parking sensors and a rear-view camera are also standard.

Key EXR features:

• 2.7-litre four-cylinder petrol engine
• 6-speed automatic transmission
• Selectable part-time 4WD
• Rear differential lock
• 245mm ground clearance
• 12.3-inch touchscreen
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Dual-zone climate control
• Keyless entry and push-button start
• LED headlamps
• Front and rear parking sensors
• Rear-view camera

Should you choose the EXR?

Choose it if: you want the Land Cruiser FJ's core off-road hardware and modern cabin technology without moving to the higher-priced GXR.

Consider the GXR if: leather upholstery and additional driver-assistance features are important to you.

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ GXR

The GXR costs AED 154,900, or AED 15,000 more than the EXR. There is no increase in engine power or change to the 4WD system, so the extra cost is concentrated on equipment and cabin upgrades.

The most visible changes are inside. The GXR adds leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and additional leather trim. It also gets LED fog lamps and a panoramic-view monitor.

The GXR also adds a significantly broader suite of driver-assistance technology. Toyota Safety Sense features include a Pre-Collision Safety System, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Adaptive High Beam System.

Additional features over EXR:

• Leather upholstery
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel
• Additional leather cabin trim
• LED fog lamps
• Panoramic-view monitor
• Pre-Collision Safety System
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
• Lane Departure Alert
• Blind Spot Monitor
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
• Adaptive High Beam System

Should you choose the GXR?

Choose it if: you want a more premium cabin and the additional driver-assistance and camera technology.

Consider the EXR if: your priority is the FJ's off-road hardware rather than additional cabin and safety features.

EXR vs GXR: What is the main difference?

The two Land Cruiser FJ variants share the same mechanical package, so the difference is primarily about equipment rather than performance.

The EXR gives buyers the core FJ package, including the 2.7-litre engine, part-time 4WD, rear differential lock, low-range gearing and modern infotainment.

The GXR adds more premium cabin materials and a larger technology and safety package. It gets leather upholstery, a panoramic-view monitor and additional Toyota Safety Sense systems, but it does not receive a more powerful engine or a different drivetrain.

That makes the choice between the two easier, the EXR focuses on the core FJ package, while the GXR adds comfort, convenience and driver-assistance equipment.
