Project Chief Designer

Koji Inoue

We designed the Land Cruiser "FJ" to let customers feel both its heritage and authenticity. I hope they will enjoy the "FJ" in a way that reflects their individuality.

Exterior Design

Lu Yi

We drew inspiration from the Land Cruiser 40 series to take on the challenge of creating a modern, rugged crossover. We would be delighted if this car inspires a sense of fun and makes you want to set off on a journey, feeling assured you can go anywhere with it.

Exterior Design

Kosuke Kubo

While carrying forward the strength and functionality that define the Land Cruiser, we aimed to create a more compact design that conveys the approachable spirit of the Land Cruiser 40 Series. We hope this vehicle will be a long-lasting partner that lets you enjoy the great outdoors in your own way and be loved across generations over time.

Exterior Design

Kohei Toyoda

I was mainly responsible for parts design, such as the lamps. My focus was on ensuring that they are both functional and fun. I hope this car will be loved for a long time!

Exterior Digital Modeling

Hiroshi Sugiyama

I still remember the challenging yet enjoyable days of digital modeling, when a team of distinct personalities came together as one, meticulously refining every line. I hope the passion we put into this design will resonate with customers as they bring their own individuality to the car and enjoy it all the more.

Exterior Modeling

Hironori Yoshida

The bold square form was modeled with meticulous attention to detail and with active, outdoor use in mind. We hope this new Land Cruiser "FJ", which combines toughness and functionality, will allow you to carry your gear, create lasting memories, and enjoy special moments while exploring the great outdoors.

Interior Design

Yuki Ujita

I focused on creating a control layout and a robust design worthy of the Land Cruiser brand. Since this car is just the right size for enjoyable driving, I had fun with the team talking about the type of interior customization each of us would choose as we designed it.

Interior Digital Modeling

Minori Morita

When I was a child, I would climb into the back seat of our car in the dim light of early morning, feeling a sense of excitement as I listened to the engine and watched the landscape gradually brighten. I want to share that feeling with customers all around the world! With that passion in mind, I worked with the team through many trials and refinements to bring this vehicle to life.
I hope this car will become part of your adventures and a cherished page in your book of memories.

Interior Modeling

Makoto Anzai

Together with the interior design team, we explored what truly defines a Land Cruiser interior, working with both virtual and physical models. I believe we achieved an interior that is simple yet robust. I hope you will enjoy driving this Land Cruiser!

Color Design

Momo Kumano

This Land Cruiser "FJ" is the first car I have worked on as a designer. Every day was hectic, yet everything I experienced was new and exciting. Choose your favorite color and enjoy adventures with your own fun companion! I would be thrilled if this tough yet partner-like vehicle becomes a vibrant part of your everyday life.
