Overview
- The FJ was unveiled at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, with Toyota targeting a Japan retail launch around mid‑2026 and subsequent rollouts across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
- Multiple outlets report India will both build and sell the FJ from 2028 at Toyota’s new Chatrapati Sambhaji Nagar plant, with local launch expected by late 2028.
- India planning excludes diesel and is slated to offer a 2.7‑litre petrol, a strong‑hybrid and a plug‑in hybrid, with the showcased setup using a 6‑speed automatic and part‑time 4WD.
- Reports from India suggest estimated localisation to target a starting price near Rs 30 lakh, production from August 2028 of about 89,000 units a year, and roughly 40,000 units for export.
- Design highlights include a boxy profile, tailgate‑mounted spare, segmented bumpers for easier repairs, Toyota Safety Sense driver assists, and dimensions around 4,575 mm in length with a 2,580 mm wheelbase; Australia is unlikely to receive the model under current Euro 6d rules.
