For many netizens, Toyota in recent years does not seem to have launched a special personality of the car, the products are biased towards stability and moderation, but in fact, Toyota as early as ten years ago, launched a very personal and off-road performance is very strong model, that is - FJ Coolozer, once launched, it was snapped up, you know, that is in the overall consumption capacity is not high in 2007, a price of up to 500,000 models, can be so popular, which is enough to show its influence.
But the good times, and then due to emission problems, FJ Cruiser had to temporarily withdraw from the Chinese market, turn to parallel import channel sales, and since 2007, FJ Cruiser has never been replaced, even so, its retention rate in the second-hand car market is also quite terrible, a 2007 FJ Cruiser, now can also be sold to twenty tens of thousands.
However, finally, in the recent past, Qi Panjun obtained news and renderings about the new FJ Cruiser from overseas media, and the new car is expected to be officially released in 2025. From the rendering, the design of the new FJ Cruiser is not very much changed, and the general outline and lines are consistent with the current model. However, the design of the new FJ Cruiser front face is obviously more futuristic, and the bottom shield from the TRD and the wide bumper below make the new car extremely hard. And according to foreign media reports, the new FJ Cruiser's car door will be as freely removable as the Jeep Wrangler.
In terms of interior, although there are no relevant pictures flowing out at present, I think that from the perspective of the change in appearance, the interior of the new FJ Cruiser will not have a greater probability of improvement, after all, as a retro personality hardcore SUV, the new FJ Cruiser's respect for the original design is still relatively obvious.

In the power segment, Toyota also showed off the "Compact Cruiser EV" representing the successor of "FJ Cruiser" at last year's new car launch. This means that it is entirely possible that the new FJ Cruiser will adopt a three-electric form similar to that used by the new generation of Hummers, but I don't know, after carrying the battery, the new FJ Cruiser is still the same tough guy as before?
summary:
Judging from the performance of the current FJ Cruiser, if the new FJ Cruiser is officially listed, it may become a phenomenon-level model, and with the arrival of the wave of electrification, we have every reason to believe that the possibility of Toyota's new FJ Cruiser returning in pure electric form is not small.
