The ALL-NEW 2025 Toyota Land Hopper - OFFICIAL First Look

Toyota has been known to produce cars for every market. Be it luxury, off-road, or just a regular sedan or SUV, whatever niche you can think of, you will find a Toyota there. One of their most famous cars is the Land Cruiser series, which is all off-road with a touch of luxury. And most recently, they unveiled the new models. In addition to that, Toyota has decided to reveal some sort of mini-Land Cruiser, which they are calling the Land Hopper. This is a pretty promising car with off-road capabilities and great style. However, there is more to it than meets the eye.
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to our channel. Today, we will look at the 2025 Toyota Land Hopper to find out what this car is all about. But before we continue, make sure you leave a like and subscribe to our channel for more amazing updates on your favorite cars. And with that, let’s learn more about the 2025 Toyota Land Hopper.
This has been a great year for Toyota. They have been releasing cars that have proven to be pretty amazing. Earlier this year, they introduced the new 250 Series Land Cruiser, which is a pretty phenomenal car. This car also marked the highly anticipated return of the nameplate to the US market. The same model is also sold in other markets, such as Europe and Australia, but it goes by the name Land Cruiser Prado there.
Everything about this car is quite a surprise, leaving everyone with even more questions than answers. One of the most intriguing things about the new Land Hopper is the rumored pricing. It has been said that this compact off-roader will come in with a price tag of under $27,000. According to the Japanese magazine, the starting price of this car is said to fall within the range of 3 million to 3.8 million yen. And with the current exchange rates, this is equivalent to about $20,100 to $25,500 in the domestic market.
The 2025 Toyota Land Hopper was previewed by concepts like the Compact Cruiser, Toyota’s new EV car. However, when we think about its design, we could expect it to adopt the less playful and more utilitarian styling details found on the 250 Series Land Cruiser. This would actually go perfectly with making it look like it belongs in the 250 Series Land Cruiser lineage. Furthermore, the news outlet has anticipated that it will share similar dimensions with the Corolla Cross.
With the pricing and sizing that it comes with, the 2025 Toyota Land Hopper would compete with other compact adventure SUVs, such as the Ford Bronco Sport.
Just like how the Bronco Sport borrows its engine options from the more pedestrian Escape, there are rumors that the Land Hopper will use versions of the Corolla Cross’s gasoline and hybrid engine range to power it up. And if we are lucky enough, we can use the RAV4’s powertrain options as an upgrade for the baby cruiser.
The newly minted event is set to happen from October 26 through November 5, 2023. Therefore, we just have to wait a few weeks to find out whether Toyota will be expanding the modern Land Cruiser family with this mini version. After all, we can all agree that it would be nice for you as a customer to get the chance to choose between the mid-size Land Cruiser Prado, or 250 Series, and a newly introduced compact or “baby” Land Cruiser version.
So far, ever since the beans were spilled on the Land Hopper trademark, there have been all sorts of rumors and theories behind it. And among these are the CGI looks of the rumored 2025 Toyota Land Hopper. Those who have gone ahead to create a visual appearance for the car have envisioned a compact Land Cruiser built on the same TNGA-F body-on-frame platform that comes with the Lexus GX or the Toyota Tacoma.
Most of the CGI designs were inspired by Toyota’s Compact Cruiser EV concept, which was released a while ago. They have also imagined it as a smaller version of the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser as well as the 2024 Toyota 4Runner. However, it may just be as rugged as the other two. In addition to all these new designs, they have envisioned it in a range of colors.
Now, all we can wait to see is how Toyota will use the design cues from the 2024 Land Cruiser and J300 Land Cruiser to keep the family spirit alive.
Given that only a silhouette was revealed and the new nameplate leaked, there are a lot of fan theories going around. However, we cannot tell which ones are true and which ones are not, given that the car has not been officially launched. For that, we will have to wait for a few more weeks.

Knowing American marketing, this will be $2k cheaper than a 4Runner

This mini Land Cruiser needs the 203 hp 2.5 engine we currently see in the RAV4 and Camry as the 2.0 engine from the Corolla Cross simply lacks the power to move a small body-on-frame SUV. A 2 speed transfer case, locking rear differential and 6 speed manual would make that drivetrain sufficiently powerful, highly efficient and capable of a 3, 500 towing capacity. To maximize interior cargo capacity, a forward-folding front passenger seat as we used to see with the Matrix will aid greatly. If it is affordably priced below the base Wrangler and Bronco, Toyota will have a real winner.

It looks like a mini FJ crusier and on that note I wish they would bring the FJ crusier back I had 2 FJ crusier wish I still had one today loved them both

[bjsimon]

it is good direction to bring this. Small less expensive model

[lukesmith]

Hoping it’s the same size as the ford bronco sport. Definitely getting one if so.

I think this vehicle is a cool concept and will probably be a better product than the "Land Cruiser" that is coming back to the US market. I'm sure anyone that's owned and utilized the previous models is disappointed with being sold a hybrid Prado. I appreciate this having a new name and platform apposed to being called something with a heritage that the new LC doesn't have, it's like the offshoot stepson that's always been paying video games of MWF whereas the LC is the actual soldier.

[julesmarwell]

if it's a Toyota I will buy it. for sure.

Great comments, from all of us in London

[PastPresentFuture]

Where does this leave the 4R? Is this the new 4R?

[geoleo]

Hey, are you the same dude that was the face of Phuket news? Your voice sounds just like him.

[apzone]

[thealmightyking]

Will this car be sold in the United States?

[williamriding]

Does red go faster, does heat affect airodinamiic performance, like a hot knife through butter

"Several details remain to be cleared up, including the name. While there were rumors that it might be called the “Land Hopper” after Toyota secured the trademark, it has since been revealed that this name has been assigned to a three-wheeled electric bike concept. Toyota could potentially revive the iconic “FJ Cruiser” moniker or or explore variants like “FC Cruiser.” Another option might involve using the “Compact Cruiser” name previously linked to the EV concept."

It appears that it's not going to be called "Toyota Land Hopper" (thank goodness!).

Vf.3 thiết kế giống mẫu bày To yo ta là đẹp.

[pamcullen]

Does this come with automatic transmission 🤔

[jpmongeau]

Great vehicle to replace my FJ Cruiser -- hybrid would be nice.

[kalbs]

Great idea and concept... stupid name though.

[perrymathis]

Very cool, and cheaper than used FJ cruisers, LOL
