View Inventory2026 Toyota Land Cruiser Performance V
The 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser is powered by a standard i-FORCE MAX 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid powertrain that blends efficiency with confident performance. This system pairs a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor to produce a combined 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. The strong torque output is especially beneficial during off-road driving, hill climbs, and towing situations where low-speed power matters most.
An 8-speed automatic transmission works with a full-time four-wheel-drive system to deliver smooth and controlled power. A locking center differential helps distribute torque evenly for improved traction on uneven or slippery surfaces. When properly equipped, the Land Cruiser can tow up to 6,000 pounds, making it suitable for small trailers, boats, or outdoor equipment. Despite its rugged design, the hybrid system helps achieve an EPA-estimated 22 mpg combined, which is notable for a body-on-frame SUV with permanent four-wheel drive.
