2022 Toyota Land Cruiser
2022 Toyota Land Cruiser Not offered in U.S. (2022 J300 global model)
The J300 Land Cruiser was introduced globally for the 2022 model year and in many markets features Toyota’s TNGA‑F chassis and (market-dependent) 3.5L twin‑turbo V6 or diesel powertrains. Toyota did not offer the 2022 Land Cruiser in the United States, so there were no U.S.-market trims, MSRPs, or EPA ratings to report for 2022. This entry therefore records the absence of U.S. trims and leaves market-specific technical fields blank.
