The 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser Review at Gettel Toyota of Lakewood
The 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser returns with a more compact design, modern hybrid powertrain, and legendary off-road capability.

Whether you’re driving the streets of Lakewood Ranch or heading off-road near Gorda, Ruskin, or Bradenton, the 2026 Land Cruiser delivers capability, comfort, and efficiency.
Starting at $58,695, this year’s model is powered by a turbocharged 2.4-liter i-FORCE MAX hybrid engine and standard full-time four-wheel drive. For customers searching for Toyota’s proven durability, innovative hybrid engineering, and unmatched utility, the 2026 Land Cruiser is a worthy contender.
