2027 Toyota Land Cruiser: Heritage Meets Hybrid Capability in San Juan Capistrano
The 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser returns to its roots, pairing heritage-inspired design with a modern turbocharged i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain. Built on Toyota’s body-on-frame TNGA-F platform and seating five, it arrives in two distinct grades: the heritage-focused Land Cruiser 1958, starting at a TSRP of $59,375, and the more refined Land Cruiser grade at a TSRP of $65,450. Both deliver full-time four-wheel drive and an EPA-estimated 23 combined MPG. Whether you’re driving the streets of Mission Viejo or heading toward the foothills around San Juan Capistrano, the Land Cruiser blends go-anywhere capability with everyday comfort.

Heritage Design and Purposeful Exterior
The 2027 Land Cruiser reclaims its identity with upright, boxy proportions, a flat roofline, short overhangs, and the signature “TOYOTA” heritage grille. It measures 196.4 inches long, 77.9 inches wide, and 76.1 inches tall on a 112-inch wheelbase — a substantial footprint whether parked at a trailhead or navigating the master-planned neighborhoods of Aliso Viejo. The Land Cruiser 1958 leans into its retro character with round LED headlights, while the Land Cruiser grade adopts rectangular headlights, roof rails, and running boards for a more contemporary stance.

i-FORCE MAX Hybrid Performance
Every 2027 Land Cruiser is powered exclusively by the turbocharged 2.4-liter i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, which pairs a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for 326 net combined horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. Power runs through an 8-speed automatic transmission and a full-time four-wheel-drive system with a two-speed transfer case. The hybrid setup returns an EPA-estimated 22 city, 25 highway, and 23 combined MPG on premium fuel, and the Land Cruiser is rated to tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped. Standard center and rear locking differentials and CRAWL Control deliver genuine capability when the pavement ends, with available Multi-Terrain Select on the Land Cruiser grade — useful on the trails beyond the foothills of San Juan Capistrano, yet refined enough for the daily commute through Aliso Viejo and Ladera Ranch.

Interior, Comfort, and the Premium Package
Inside, the Land Cruiser is built around a functional five-passenger cabin. The Land Cruiser 1958 features fabric-trimmed seats, while the Land Cruiser grade steps up to SofTex-trimmed seating with heated and ventilated front seats. On the Land Cruiser grade, the available Premium Package ($4,905) adds leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front and second-row seats, a 14-speaker JBL premium audio system, a Head-Up Display, a digital rearview mirror, illuminated entry, and a power moonroof. The result is a cabin that balances rugged durability with genuine long-drive comfort.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
Both 2027 Land Cruiser grades come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, Toyota’s latest suite of active-safety and driver-assist technologies. It includes the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection — now capable of detecting motorcyclists — along with Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, and Proactive Driving Assist. Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert are standard as well. Both grades also include factory underbody skid-plate protection, with additional Genuine Toyota accessories available through the dealership.
Driver-assistance features are designed to assist the driver and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. See your Owner’s Manual for system details and limitations.
