    Hybrid Powertrain Performance

    The Land Cruiser Hybrid combines a 3.5 L twin‑turbo V6 petrol engine with a parallel hybrid system under the bonnet, to deliver a total of 457 hp and 790 Nm of torque.

    Toyota claims it’s the most powerful Land Cruiser they've ever produced, with 20 per cent more torque and 40 per cent better throttle response than its petrol-only counterpart. Notably, the hybrid setup retains pure‑petrol operation if the system fails, which is ideal for remote environments.

    Combat-Tested in the UAE

    The company designed this model and trialled in real‑world UAE conditions so it could navigate deserts, wadis and mountain trails.

    They have waterproofed the hybrid battery system for water fording, and the vehicle retains off‑road capabilities. Signature design elements include Jet Black Hybrid bumpers on the VXR grade and Hybrid/457TT badging that emphasise its electrified identity.

    Tech & Off‑Road Enhancements

    • Electric Power Steering (EPS) for superior manoeuvrability on and off‑road.
    • 1 500 W onboard AC power inverter (220 V) to help power electronics and camping gear.
    • Includes Toyota’s full suite of driver‑assist and off‑road features.
    • Luxury interior appointments, which vary by trim, so as to add refinement to rugged capability.

    Strategic Launch and Market Position

    Jacques Brent, Managing Director of Al‑Futtaim Toyota & Lexus, said: “UAE is accelerating its path toward Net Zero 2050, so, we are launching the Land Cruiser Hybrid to reflect our commitment to offering electrified mobility options without the need to compromise on legacy or capability. The Emirates has helped in shaping this model over seven decades, and we’re proud to introduce this historic evolution here first.”

    This launch aligns with the multi‑pathway carbon‑neutral strategy of Toyota, so as to extend electrified options across its flagship models.
