FJ Cruiser 2023 Price Philippines

The Toyota FJ Cruiser is undoubtedly the oldest SUV among the current breed of modern and contemporary SUVs. However, despite its age, the concept car like design of the FJ Cruiser still manages to make it look out of the box and youthful, which makes it look very interesting.

The front fascia of the Toyota FJ Cruiser has a retro touch to it, which resembles that of vintage Land Cruisers, and that is pretty evident from the grille and headlamps setup. The rectangular grille with old school Toyota logo gets round headlamps on both of its sides, and this entire setup is enclosed in a rounded rectangular panel, which is finished in silver colour.

Adjacent to this silver panel on both the sides are turn indicators, which are laid horizontally and are rounded from outer edges. The large front bumper is finished in all black and gets a thick silver skid plate at the centre and unique looking protruding fog lamp housings on outer sides.

From the sides too, the Toyota FJ Cruiser looks off beat. The SUV gets vertical A-pillars and silver finished old school door mounted large rear view mirrors. The doors on the sides too are very unique and open out in the same way as what we have seen in the suicide doors of the Rolls Royce cars. The much smaller size of the rear door in comparison to the front one makes the SUV look even more unique. The wide C-pillar design, dual-tone roof treatment, squared fenders above the rear wheels, and thick wheel arches are some other interesting design elements of this SUV.

At the rear, the Toyota FJ Cruiser gets a large tailgate-mounted spare wheel with a silver unibody cover. The curved tail lamps place on outer edges of the tailgate and silver-finished panels on either edge of the rear body cladding complete the concept car-like design.

Toyota’s Compact Cruiser takes one step closer to production as it was awarded with the 2022 Car Design Award. The Car Design Award for Concept Vehicles was presented to Toyota during a ceremony held at the ADI Design Museum in Milan during the annual Milano Design Week and world-renown Salone del Mobile – the Milan Furniture Fair. This prompted Toyota to release more detailed images of their upcoming “baby FJ Cruiser.”

Part of the Japanese carmaker’s ambitious EV plan, the Compact Cruiser is an all-electric SUV that’s reportedly slated to enter production by 2024. It borrows on Toyota’s strong off-road heritage and as such gets a number of styling cues such as the off-road silhouette and the simple, strong body sections.

Toyota says the Compact Cruiser EV is designed to enhance the lifestyle of its target customers—young, professional urban dwellers who enjoy active outdoor leisure interests. With that, it will offer a “uniquely engaging, go-anywhere, all-wheel drive EV experience.”

Created by the team based at Toyota ED2 (ED Square) in Nice, the Compact Cruiser EV was first unveiled in December last year at the Mega Web in Tokyo.

“Our research into electric vehicles has been ongoing for more than 30 years, and we’ve come a long way,” said Toyota Design Senior General Manager Simon Humphries. “After an initial phase of contact with electric vehicles, people will want zero-emission cars that speak about them and express their lifestyle. And the Compact Cruiser EV is a perfect example of that trend.”
