2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Consumer Reviews

For it's size, the Land Cruiser is nimble in acceleration and the drive assist features are excellent for longer trips. Ours gets about 23.8 mpg, which is much better than our last SUV. Having hybrid energy really helps with the range. Ours gets about 375 per tank. The interior is very comfortable. I suggest not bothering with the cool box in the front (we like it because we live in a warm weather state and use it for camping). It tows very well and overall is very handy for camping, off-roading, and hauling.

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a complete piece of junk. It’s the worst car I’ve ever driven. It has no power at all (which sadly seems normal for newer Toyotas), the interior feels extremely cheap, the design is unattractive, and the fuel economy is terrible for a hybrid. The seats and overall interior are uncomfortable, and for the price they’re asking, it’s absolutely not worth it.

I regret purchasing this vehicle. It is cheaply made for the price, the fuel economy is terrible for a hybrid and it does terrible on winter roads. The breaks are loud. The service department in my town is lousy and treats customers terribly.

I received a 2025 LC LC as a birthday gift in March. It was supposed to be an upgrade from my 5th gen 4Runner. The LC was fun to drive at first, but now I’m just starting to hate it with a little over 2k miles on it. The breaks squeak so bad that I’m getting complaints from my HoA, Toyota said they might get parts to replace them in a few months, they work for commission, so it’s not a priority. Service isn’t there to help at all. I have had 2 sensors go out just from using the touchless carwash. Another issue Toyota is in no hurry to fix. It only gets 20mpg with premium fuel and has a small 300 mile range on the gas tank. The downshift on the engine is rough, it’s like the engine just stops responding at times. It’s oddly tall, just the right size to be 1 inch over the standard parking garage size and a pain in the butt to park. On top of that, the cameras and sensors glitch and freeze constantly. Forget about driving in the snow, the cameras become confused and beep like crazy, rendering them useless. I’m not sure if it’s width or ground clearance but my Acura RDX and 4Runner did better in the snow and with cheaper tires than the LC. I have $2k snow tires and the traction on this vehicle is horrific without the differential lock. The interior/exterior plastics are cheap, I’ve never had a vehicle scratch so easily in my life. The hood rattle over 60mph just seems cheap on a $75k vehicle. I had high hopes for this ride, but for the price it’s a dud. I regret choosing it. Toyota quality is definitely declining.

If you enjoy the off the pavement experience and want to feel good about your options to make a new path this vehicle makes for an ideal choice. The word BEAST is synonymous with this vehicle.

We’ve owned Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes SUV’s. The new Land Cruiser is by far the best vehicle we’ve ever owned.

Value okay, particular this is the best off-road SUV on market Performance is excellent and Quality very good made in Japan. Comfort comfortable seats, but not enough storage Reliability 5 stars and styling excellent this is really very nice SUV Gas Tank disappoints 17 gallon really small for this SUV

I owned a brand new 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser in the Land Cruiser trim, equipped with the JBL sound system, moonroof, cool box center console, and other premium features. Visually, it’s a beautiful SUV—but for a $69K+ vehicle, I expected more. Over six months and 8,200 miles, I averaged 18.5 mpg. That was disappointing, especially for a hybrid marketed at 22–23 mpg combined. I hoped for better real-world efficiency. Wind noise was also a major issue. Having owned Wranglers and other vehicles with flat windshields, I expected some noise—but this was excessive, particularly on the highway, and made long trips uncomfortable. The full-time 4WD helped in deep snow during the polar freeze in Estes Park, but created serious drivetrain tension. The vehicle squeaked, jolted, and resisted through every turn and roundabout. Quick U-turns were nearly impossible, even on wide roads. Interior durability was another letdown. Within six months, there were multiple signs of wear—including two tears in the material. One occurred when a garage door opener slid off the driver-side visor while closing it, tearing the fabric. The other came when a TV lightly bumped the door panel during a move, causing it to rip and bunch near the window. The materials felt loose and fragile—far from what I’d expect from Toyota, especially at this price point. For a brand built on durability and longevity, this was a disappointing experience.
