Design & Looks
The new Indian FJ Cruiser arrives in an all‑black paint scheme that gives it a stealthy, off‑road vibe. The classic boxy silhouette stays true to the original Land Cruiser FJ, but the fresh colour and updated alloy wheels make it feel modern. Inside, you’ll find a rugged dash with durable upholstery – perfect for both city cruising and weekend adventures.

Performance & Mileage
At launch, the FJ Cruiser will be powered by a 2.7‑litre 2TR‑FE inline‑four petrol engine. It’s a naturally aspirated unit that offers smooth power delivery for daily driving. Toyota has hinted that a 2.8 L diesel, identical to the one in the Fortuner, will be added later, giving the model a stronger torque curve for tough terrain.
While official fuel‑economy numbers are pending, the 2.7 L petrol typically delivers around 12‑14 km/l in mixed conditions, and the upcoming diesel is expected to improve that to roughly 15‑16 km/l.
Price & Rivals
Pricing has not been announced yet. Expect the FJ Cruiser to sit between the Toyota Fortuner and the more premium Land Cruiser range, making it a compelling choice against rivals like the Mahindra Thar and the Ford Endeavour.
