2026 Toyota Compact Cruiser.
Last Updated:
These new illustrations of the 2026 Toyota Compact Cruiser are obviously based on the patent image posted a few days ago.
They are triyng hard to give us an idea of what the real thing might look like. But you can already tell some of the design looks different from the patent image. Which menas these illustrations might not be an acurate preview of Toyota’s all-new model.
We first saw a teaser of Toyota‘s upcoming smaller Land Cruiser model at the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser unveiling. Since, we have seen many illustrations trying to guess what the real thing could look like.
The patent image above shows the real thing. And it does look like a cross between the Land Cruiser, the FJ Cruiser, and the 4 Runner. But smaller. Which was expected.
It also looks a lot like the 2022 Toyota Compact Cruiser concept. However, back in 2022, the concept was an EV.
The official name is still a mystery. Toyota recently trademarked the name “name Land Cruiser FJ”. So, why not…
Same thing with the platform and powertrain. Although I would expect this to at least be a hybrid in the US. With a PHEV as an option. Or even an EV version available;e just like the new Lexus ES that is offered in both.
