The glory of the great outdoors is best experienced in an FJ Cruiser. It's been designed with all types of terrain in mind - mud, rock, sand, gravel or water. The FJ Cruiser simply begs to be put to the test. Check out all the features that make it the ultimate 4WD experience

Cargo Anchor Points

Perfect for serious off-road adventures, the FJ Cruiser includes a large versatile cargo area at the rear - where you can store all of your supplies and equipment. And when you're facing the toughest terrains, the FJ Cruiser has four tie-down points in the floor of its cargo area, to ensure your supplies can be securely tied down and don't move about the cabin.

On long adventures, elements of comfort can make a real difference. It's why you'll find the FJ Cruiser has padded armrests for the driver and front passenger.

Water-repellent seats

Explore the toughest terrains without worrying about damaging your FJ Cruiser's interior - thanks to features like water-repellent seats. Water-repellent fabric has been used to cover the FJ Cruiser's seats, meaning you can easily wipe off dirt and water. A urethane film has also been incorporated under the fabric to prevent dampness.


Steering wheel controls

Inside the FJ Cruiser, you'll find convenience at your finger tips on the three spoke steering wheel with built-in controls allowing you to adjust your car's audio and answer your Bluetooth™## compatible mobile phone - all without taking your hands off the wheel. Adjust the volume of your music, select a track on your CD, flick to a pre-set radio station, or switch between audio modes - it's all within easy reach.

Toyota is committed to vehicle safety. That's why we established the Global Outstanding Assessment (GOA) passive safety assessment programme for new cars. First we find the toughest safety standards in the world, then we exceed them.

Standard on all models, Kluger's Vehicle Control Management System (VCMS) is like its central nervous system. It uses a Control Area Network (CAN) to link engine output, brake power & distribution, and steering torque, ensuring they all work together effectively in an emergency for much enhanced control, especially when cornering on wet, gravel, or otherwise slippery roads. Its individual components include: Curtain airbags

To help make sure everyone stays safe in the event of an accident, the FJ Cruiser comes with SRS side airbags on both front seats to help prevent torso injuries to the driver and passenger. Should a side collision occur, the SRS curtain shield airbag deploys almost instantly - to cover the area around the front and rear side windows, reducing the force of impact to the head area - helping to protect passengers in both the front and rear of the car. This system of six SRS airbags works together with the FJ Cruiser's seat belts to help keep everyone protected.

To help you reverse more safely and avoid obstacles. FJ Cruiser is fitted with a convenient reversing camera~. Vision from the reversing camera~ is cleverly integrated into the vehicle's anti-glare electro-chromatic mirror via a 2.4inch LCD screen. This handy camera provides a live rear view that can help you reverse with greater confidence and be aware of any obstacles that may be in your way.

Stay on track and in control with innovations like Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). This safety technology helps ensure your FJ Cruiser holds its path when cornering, a key feature for 4WD drivers. VSC monitors your steering angle and the direction in which your vehicle is actually travelling and senses when your front or rear wheels begin to slip. It automatically detects that you're not on your intended path and intervenes, helping ensure safer cornering by actively detecting and controlling any understeer or oversteer.

Brake System

FJ Cruiser includes a sophisticated braking system using innovation and technology to help maximise car safety. A hydraulic brake booster unit in the FJ Cruiser also facilitates several braking technologies - including Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA).

Uniquely rugged design

With legendary off road abilities, the new FJ Cruiser has a uniquely rugged car design - with an iconic white roof, round headlamps integrated within the front grille, wrap-around rear windows and over fenders. This modern evolution of the classic FJ40 lines pays homage to the automotive legend of 4WD adventures.

Privacy Glass

Keep your belongings securely hidden with privacy glass on the FJ Cruiser's rear side, quarter and back windows. The tinted glass adds to the sporty car design and also makes it difficult for anyone to view the interior of your vehicle - helping deter unwelcome attention, and protecting your luggage and equipment.

17 inch alloy wheels

The FJ Cruiser has a tough car design that reflects its no-nonsense attitude - with features such as large 17 inch alloy wheels, a unique front grille, over fenders, and round headlamps. While the overall look of the car is a tribute to its heritage, additions like alloy wheels give it a distinctly contemporary edge.

Halogen headlamps

Round halogen headlamps and the Toyota badge across the front grille show how the car design of the FJ Cruiser pays tribute to its FJ40 heritage. However, these halogen headlamps also provide great illumination to help you find your way. They feature separate reflectors for the high and low beams in a traditional round unit to enhance light distribution and provide excellent night time visibility.

Traction control

On wet, icy or even sandy road surfaces, the degree of traction between your tyres and the road is dramatically reduced. Traction Control improves your tyres grip on the road in poor driving conditions, especially when you're moving off from a standing start.

V6 engine

For the ultimate in gusty off road 4WD performance, FJ Cruiser employs the same 4.0L, six-cylinder petrol engine as the Prado. Dual VVT-i technology ensures optimal timing of the intake and exhaust valves according to operating conditions, providing both power and efficiency.

Cruise Control

Cruise control in the FJ Cruiser allows you to set your preferred speed and maintain it without constant use of the accelerator pedal, and is deactivated with either the push of a button or the brake pedal.

Off road

Like its legendary predecessor, the FJ40, the FJ Cruiser is simply made for getting off the beaten track - with its rugged, athletic style and host of 4WD technologies such as Active Traction Control (A-TRC) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). To complement its 4WD performance, FJ Cruiser also boasts impressive ground clearance, approach and departure angles and a locking rear differential which is activated with the simple push of a button when 4WD is engaged.

Heavy duty suspension

Despite its rugged performance, when it comes to comfort, the FJ Cruiser is also a pleasure to drive on road thanks to a comfortable driver position and high-mounted, double wishbone, suspension. To balance handling stability, ride comfort and tough, off road performance, FJ Cruiser also encorporates a five-link heavy duty suspension system.
