It is the smallest in the series, with dimensions of approximately 4500mm in length, 1830mm in width and 1850mm in height. It is about the same size as a taller Corolla Cross.

Previously, we had reported that the only engine available would be a 2.7L gasoline inline-four, but it has now been revealed that there will also be a 2.8L diesel turbo. The engine will be the same as the domestic version of the Land Cruiser 250. Of course, it will also use the ladder frame.

The introduction of a hybrid model is also being considered, but it will first be available in gasoline and diesel, with an expected price tag of 3.5 million to 4.5 million yen and 4WD only. It is likely to debut sometime in 2024 or early next year.

The Land Cruiser FJ uses the ladder frame of the Asian strategic vehicle "IMV0". Although it is small in size, it is an SUV with durability and toughness worthy of the Land Cruiser name (CG projection created by the Best Car editorial department)

So, by now I guess most of you have seen the Hilux Champ based Rangga 7 seat SUV. I suspect this will replace the IMV versions of the Innova, and the Innova will be consolidated to the TNGA-C unibody variant.

The introduction of the Rangga makes me wonder if the rumors of an IMV based Land Cruiser Mini are wrong. What if all the talk about an IMV based SUV with a diesel and 2.7 gas engine were actually talking about the Rangga? It all kinda makes sense in my head. If this is true, then this opens the door to the LC Mini being TNGA-F or unibody based. I’m starting to think there’s a good chance we will see the LC Mini in the U.S. after all.
