*Ugh, the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Wagon Hybrid just made it to my top three drives of the year so far! I fell in love.
By now, you know I love the 4Runner with all my car heart. But the Land Cruiser may be the stable husband type of the group! It’s big, strong, comfortable, feels safe and all the things someone might want in a… car. Let’s get into it.
The Look: The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Wagon Hybrid is proof you can be tough without losing your style. The boxy silhouette nods to the Land Cruiser’s legendary heritage, but the updated grille, LED lighting, and sleek two-tone paint options make her look fresh and modern.
My mother had a Land Cruiser when I was growing up. It was such a fun car because the whole family fit and we were sitting up high on the road. This updated version is giving “globe-trotting chic”—equally at home pulling up to a luxury hotel or parked on a mountain trail. It’s versatile y’all.
The roof rails and squared-off fenders add a touch of adventure glam, while the 18-or 20-inch wheels say, “Yes, I’m rugged, but I still do my skincare routine.” I definitely felt like a bad bitch in this car.

The Drive: This Land Cruiser is now rocking a 2.4-liter turbocharged hybrid with 326 horsepower and standard AWD, which means it’s strong, capable, and surprisingly efficient for its size.
The ride is smooth and steady on the highway—no jitter, no drama—and the off-road capability is still the real deal. Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, and a high ground clearance make it ready for muddy music festivals, ski trips, or that spontaneous weekend in the mountains. I love this in a vehicle! Just know, it’s not built for racing, but delivers power with grace. It’s a solid vehicle with all the right stuff.
The Tech: Inside, the Land Cruiser blends old-school durability with new-school convenience. You get a clear 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, multiple USB-C ports, and Toyota’s full Safety Sense 3.0 suite—so he’s looking out for you at every turn. The cabin is functional but not flashy, with easy-clean surfaces and a smart layout that makes sense whether you’re hauling gear or carpooling. And while he’s more “practical elegance” than “tech nerd,” his 360° camera, off-road monitoring screens (which I didn’t try out… afraid of off-roading … for now), and intuitive controls make every driver feel confident and under control.
Overall, the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Wagon Hybrid is the grown, capable partner of the SUV world—classic, dependable, and still turning heads. He’s not chasing trends; He is the trend, blending heritage charm with modern hybrid smarts. Ain’t that what we want!
