Buyers in the UAE now have two options when it comes to the Land Cruiser Hybrid 2025. The VXR Hybrid starts at 389,900 dirhams, while the sportier GR Sport Hybrid goes for 409,900 dirhams. That’s about 60,000 dirhams more than the regular petrol version, but for many fans, the extra tech and power make it worth every dirham. Reservations are open on Toyota’s official UAE website for just 2,000 dirhams, and the first deliveries are already underway. Both trims feature unique design elements: the VXR gets exclusive Hybrid Jet Black bumpers, and the GR Sport gets a sport grille, black accents, and tough 18 inch Mud Grey alloy wheels. Every model wears special Hybrid Beyond Zero and 457TT badges along the sides, and classic touches like the TOYOTA script grille and squared mirrors remind everyone that this is still a real Land Cruiser.

Under the hood, the Land Cruiser Hybrid 2025 packs a 3.5 liter twin turbo V6 engine paired with a ten speed automatic gearbox and full time four wheel drive. The hybrid system uses a compact 1.8 kilowatt hour NiMH battery tucked under the cargo floor, so the SUV can deliver a combined 457 horsepower and a massive 790 newton meters of torque. That’s enough muscle to launch from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in just 6.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 210 kilometers per hour, putting it ahead of the Nissan Patrol for both power and torque.

Toyota engineers tested the hybrid system in the UAE’s deserts and mountains to make sure it is just as tough as the original. Even if the hybrid parts ever fail, the combustion engine keeps going, and the water resistant battery lets you ford streams up to 700 millimeters deep. Features like KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System) boost both on road stability and off road flexibility, and there are multiple drive modes from Normal and Eco to Sport Plus and custom settings. For 2025, the Land Cruiser Hybrid keeps its three row luxury leather cabin, with a pair of 12.3 inch screens for the driver and infotainment, a dual rear seat entertainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 14 speaker JBL sound system, a head up display, 360 degree camera, and advanced Level 2 safety tech. The only real change is a slight decrease in trunk space due to the battery placement.
