Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Debuts
Toyota Land Cruiser FJ arrives in Indonesia as gray market imports arrive ahead of the official domestic release. PT Toyota Astra Motor plans to start selling the compact SUV at Gaikindo Auto Week 2026, detikoto reported.
Independent importer Hobby Motor has already brought five units from Japan featuring Modelista accessories, according to SuaraGarut.ID. Those early vehicles sell for about Rp 2 miliar each, offering buyers immediate access to the boxy utility vehicle before local assembly or official distribution scales up.
The compact SUV takes design cues from older Hardtop generations, sporting a retro look. The name FJ stands for Freedom and Joy, according to SuaraGarut.ID.
“The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ is a legendary car that many people have been waiting for. This car is one of the FJ Cruiser collection,” said Michael from Hobby Motor, as reported by SuaraGarut.ID.
Vehicle dimensions and engine power vary by market
Official specifications published on the PT Toyota Astra Motor website show the vehicle measures 4,610 mm long, 1,855 mm wide, and 1,890 mm tall with a 2,580 mm wheelbase. Japanese market specifications reported by okinews list slightly different measurements at 4,575 mm in length and 1,960 mm in height, featuring a five-passenger configuration and 795 liters of cargo space.
Under the bonnet sits a 2TR-FE 2.694 cc four-cylinder petrol engine producing 122 kW of power and 245 Nm of torque. Japanese specifications cited by okinews put output at 163 PS and 246 Nm, paired with a six-speed Super ECT automatic transmission.
The drivetrain features a part-time 4WD system with 2H, 4H, and 4L modes, built on a reinforced ladder frame chassis. To handle rough terrain, the vehicle includes a rear differential lock, Hill-start Assist Control, and Downhill Assist Control, according to detikoto.
Domestic pricing differs from Thailand due to taxes
Official pricing from PT Toyota Astra Motor remains unannounced for the domestic market. Director of Marketing Bansar Maduma said that prices in Indonesia will differ from Thailand due to tax variations.
“If we compare Thailand and Indonesia, there are differences in tax. We still need to find a way to present this product at the right price for customers,” Bansar said at GIIAS 2026, as quoted by detikoto.
In Thailand, the Land Cruiser FJ retails for 1,269,000 baht, which equals a different amount. Meanwhile, independent importer units currently available in Indonesia carry a price tag of around Rp 2 miliar per unit, according to SuaraGarut.ID.
Safety Features
Every variant of the Land Cruiser FJ comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. Additional driver assistance systems include Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Brake Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
The safety suite also features parking sensors, a Panoramic View Monitor, and an Electronic Parking Brake with Brake Hold functionality.
