Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Arrives in Thailand With a Surprising Price Tag

The long-awaited Toyota Land Cruiser FJ has finally made its South ASEAN debut. The lifestyle off-roader has been launched in Thailand in a single variant, priced at THB 12,69,000 (Approx INR 36.5 lakh). This is an introductory price tag, which will be available until August 2026. Interestingly, the Land Cruiser FJ is priced higher than the base variant of the Toyota Fortuner (Approx INR 35.58 lakh) in Thailand. 

The compact off-roader is currently manufactured in Thailand. The company also plans to introduce the new Land Cruiser FJ in India by 2028. It could be the first product to roll out from Toyota’s upcoming Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar plant in Maharashtra. Sales of the new FJ will begin in home market, Japan by May 2026. It will be positioned below the Fortuner in Toyota’s line-up, and will come as a premium alternative to the likes of the Mahindra Thar Roxx and Scorpio-N.
