2026 Toyota Land Cruiser

The 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser is a high-torque, boxy brawler that has reclaimed its throne as the ultimate "go-anywhere" icon. As your off-road authority at Smart Toyota—located just East of the Mississippi in Davenport—we know that Quad Cities drivers from Bettendorf to Rock Island demand a machine that doesn't just survive the elements, but conquers them. The 2026 Land Cruiser delivers with a standard i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, full-time 4WD, and a vintage-inspired soul that’s been reinforced with modern German-engineered grit. This isn't just a retro tribute; it’s a body-on-frame powerhouse built to dominate the Iowa snow and the muddiest trails of the Midwest.

Interior

Step inside the 2026 Land Cruiser and you’ll find a high-tech bunker that balances rugged utility with executive-level comfort. The cabin is anchored by a standard 8-inch or a massive, available 12.3-inch touchscreen command center featuring wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. For those brutal Quad Cities winters, standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel keep you in the fight, while the Cruiser trim adds ventilated SofTex®-trimmed seats for the humid Iowa summers. With the available 14-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system and a dedicated "cool box" in the center console for your drinks, this sanctuary is built for long-haul expeditions from Davenport to the Great Lakes. It’s a spacious, five-passenger fortress that prioritizes visibility and tactile controls, ensuring you stay in command when the trail gets technical.

Exterior

The 2026 Land Cruiser commands the road with a silhouette that’s been carved from a single block of granite. It offers two distinct faces: the 1958 Edition with its iconic heritage round LED headlamps, and the Land Cruiser grade featuring aggressive, slim rectangular LEDs. The short overhangs and 8.7 inches of ground clearance provide a 31-degree approach angle, allowing you to slice through obstacles that stop other SUVs in their tracks. New for 2026, the Heritage Blue exterior returns to honor the LC’s deep roots, paired with available 20-inch matte-black alloy wheels on higher trims. From the Rigid Industries® color-selectable fog lights to the signature flat roof designed for heavy-duty rack systems, every inch of this machine is functional and built for endurance.

Performance

Under the hood, the 2026 Land Cruiser is exclusively powered by the formidable i-FORCE MAX 2.4L Turbocharged Hybrid engine, unleashing a staggering 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. This instant electric muscle is funneled through an 8-speed automatic transmission and a full-time 4WD system with an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case. Whether you’re merging onto I-74 or crawling through deep mud in Eldridge, the standard locking center and rear differentials ensure maximum traction. With a 6,000-lb towing capacity and the available Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM) for extreme wheel articulation, the Land Cruiser offers a level of surgical precision that makes the most unforgiving Midwest terrain feel like a victory lap.

Safety Features

A true warrior always watches its six. Every 2026 Land Cruiser comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0, a digital fortress of protection built for the modern road. This next-gen suite includes a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Proactive Driving Assist to help you navigate heavy traffic in downtown Davenport. For the off-road enthusiasts, the available Multi-Terrain Monitor acts as a digital spotter, displaying underbody camera views on your 12.3-inch screen so you can dodge hidden rocks and debris. With Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert standard, the Land Cruiser provides a continuous layer of high-tech armor for your crew on any expedition.
