2027 Land Cruiser Review
Built for the Heat: Advanced Ventilated Seating
In the East Valley, "luxury" is partly defined by how well you can escape the sun. The 2027 Land Cruiser in Phoenix excels here, just as a premium vehicle should. One of the most significant updates for this model year is perfect for our desert weather.
Of course, the Land Cruiser grade comes standard with ventilated front seats, and the 2027 model year expands this luxury to your passengers. This Toyota luxury SUV offers available ventilated second-row outboard seats, ensuring that everyone in the vehicle stays refreshed during a long drive to Tucson or a day trip to Saguaro Lake.
Combined with the standard automatic climate control, these ventilated seats make the Land Cruiser a true sanctuary from the Arizona heat. Whether you choose the SofTex®-trimmed interior or the premium leather-trimmed seating found in the Premium Package, the 2027 Land Cruiser can help you chill out when the outside temperature climbs.
-
Power Output: An impressive 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque.
-
Off-Road Muscle: The electric motor provides instantaneous torque, perfect for crawling over obstacles in the high desert.
-
Towing Capacity: With a 6,000-lb. maximum towing capacity, you’re ready to haul trailers, boats, or campers across the state.
Desert-Ready Performance: The Toyota i-FORCE MAX Hybrid
Under the hood, every 2027 Land Cruiser features the advanced i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain. This isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about the raw torque needed to conquer Arizona’s diverse topography.
True to its roots, the Land Cruiser features Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive with center and rear locking differentials as standard equipment. This setup, combined with the Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM), allows for incredible suspension articulation on uneven terrain.
For more technical maneuvers, CRAWL Control and Multi-Terrain Select (with modes for Mud, Dirt, and Sand) act as your digital spotter, helping you navigate the most demanding Mesa-area trails with confidence.
True Desert Capability: High Mounted Air Intake
Arizona off-roading is unique, often involving deep sand and heavy dust. The 2027 Land Cruiser is ready to help with its new High Mounted Air Intake. This available feature is like desert insurance. The engine breathes cleaner air even when you're kicking up dust on the way to the Mogollon Rim.
A high-mounted air intake moves the point where your engine breathes from the standard fender level to the roofline. This is a big improvement over standard factory intakes, which are located right where the concentration of dust and sand is kicked up by your tires.
Cleaner Air: By pulling air from the roofline, the engine "inhales" much cleaner, less particulate-heavy air.
Longer Filter Life: This prevents your air filter from clogging prematurely during long drives on unpaved roads like those near the Superstitions.
Cooler Air: Air at the roofline is typically cooler than air being sucked in from the hot engine bay, which can slightly improve engine efficiency.
Convoy Driving: If you are following a friend on a dirt trail, you are driving directly through their "dust cloud." A high-mounted intake allows your Land Cruiser to breathe the cleaner air above that cloud rather than the thick silt at bumper height.
This is the ultimate feature for Mesa owners who want to explore the backcountry without choking their engine on Arizona's fine "bulldust".
Sophisticated Design: The New "Inked" Exterior
The Land Cruiser maintains its iconic, boxy silhouette—a design that provides excellent outward visibility for both city parking and trail spotting. Purists will trend toward the 1958 grade with its round LED headlamps and heritage grille. Luxury seekers may prefer the rectangular LEDs and modern detailing on the Land Cruiser Grade.
This year, Toyota introduces a stunning new exterior color. This deep, sophisticated hue adds a modern edge to the SUV’s timeless look. The 2027 Land Cruiser color Inked stands out beautifully against the desert landscape.
Inside, the tech is just as sharp, reinforcing the Land Cruiser’s luxury credentials. Drivers enjoy an available 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. For the audiophiles, the available 14-speaker JBL® premium audio system turns the cabin into a private concert hall.
Ready for the outdoors, the 2400-watt AC inverter in the cargo area ensures your gear stays powered at the campsite.
