What is the Toyota FJ Cruiser?
The FJ Cruiser is an off-road-focused SUV with styling inspired by Toyota’s FJ40. Its upright windscreen, round headlights, white roof and rear-mounted spare wheel carry those heritage cues into a more modern shape. Rear-hinged access doors give the cabin a distinctive layout.
