Powertrain: Hybrid at the Top of the Local Lineup
The Land Cruiser HEV is powered by Toyota's V35A-FTS 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 gasoline engine paired with a one-motor hybrid system. Combined output is 415 PS at 5,200 rpm and 650 Nm of torque across a wide 2,000–3,600 rpm band. The electric motor contributes 49 PS and 250 Nm of its own. TMP notes that this powertrain is shared with the Lexus LX 700h — a deliberate signal of how Toyota positions the HEV variant within the broader Land Cruiser family.
Power is managed through a 10-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain runs part-time 4WD with manual mode selection via the center console.
What the Hybrid System Changes
Beyond the powertrain swap, the HEV variant brings electric power steering — a departure from the hydraulic setup on the diesel Land Cruiser 300. Toyota says this gives the HEV a "lighter and more refined" on-road feel. Off-road capability is unchanged: the Land Cruiser HEV retains Multi Terrain Select with seven drive modes, Double Wishbone front suspension, and the same ground clearance as the diesel model.
The battery is a nickel-metal hydride pack. An exterior aero kit with Jet Black finish is included as standard equipment.
