Toyota Land Cruiser FJ and Urban Cruiser EV are coming to India! Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) is gearing up for an ambitious product offensive with 15 new launches planned by 2030. In the next 2-3 years alone, Indian car buyers can expect at least 5 new SUVs and pickup trucks, all priced above Rs 10 lakh. This marks a significant shift for Toyota India, moving away from Maruti Suzuki collaborations toward premium, authentic Toyota models that showcase the brand’s legendary quality and innovation.
Toyota Land Cruiser FJ: Rugged Legend Arrives in 2028
The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ represents the Japanese automaker’s commitment to legendary off-road capability in a more compact package. Measuring 4,575 mm in length, 1,855 mm in width, and 1,960 mm in height, this SUV is perfectly sized for Indian roads—unlike its larger siblings, the Land Cruiser Prado and Land Cruiser 300. Expected to launch in 2028 at around Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom), the Land Cruiser FJ will be available in petrol, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid variants. This iconic SUV will compete directly with the Mahindra Scorpio-N and premium off-road enthusiasts’ favorites.
Toyota Urban Cruiser EV: India’s Affordable Electric SUV
Arriving by mid-2026, the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV will be a game-changer for India’s electric vehicle market. This electric SUV shares its platform with the Maruti e-Vitara and will be manufactured in Gujarat. The Urban Cruiser EV will compete directly with the Hyundai Creta Electric, offering two battery options: 49 kWh LFP and 61 kWh LFP packs paired with 142 hp and 172 hp motor options respectively. The long-range variant promises over 500 km range on a single charge, making it ideal for Indian driving conditions and long-distance travel.

The next-generation Toyota Hilux will make its global debut on November 10, 2025, and is expected to launch in India by the end of 2026. This all-new model boasts a sharper, more muscular exterior design that enhances its commanding road presence. Inside, expect a refined dashboard with a fully digital instrument cluster featuring customizable layouts and an advanced infotainment system. The new Hilux will continue Toyota’s legacy of building indestructible pickup trucks while adding modern technology and comfort features that Indian buyers demand.
Next-Gen Toyota Fortuner: Hybrid Power Arrives in 2027
Set to arrive in 2027, the next-generation Toyota Fortuner will be a heavily re-engineered version of the current bestseller. While maintaining similar proportions, it will feature a completely new design inside and out. In a major shift, Toyota will not offer a diesel engine option, instead introducing a hybrid powertrain to meet evolving emission norms and customer preferences. The new Fortuner promises to retain its legendary reliability and off-road capability while delivering better fuel efficiency and lower emissions through hybrid technology.
/headingCompact Pickup Truck: Hilux Champ-Style Model in 2028
Toyota is reportedly developing a compact pickup truck similar to the Hilux Champ for the Indian market. This model will be locally manufactured at Toyota’s upcoming plant in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, alongside the Land Cruiser FJ. Expected to launch in 2028, this compact pickup will be more affordable than the full-size Hilux, targeting commercial buyers and lifestyle customers.
