Toyota Land Cruiser launches and anniversary

Overview

In late July 2026 Toyota began a dual‑track promotion of its Land Cruiser brand. First, it introduced a 1/10‑scale electric radio‑controlled Land Cruiser model from Kyosho and unveiled a new line of official merchandise, including apparel and accessories, with pop‑up stores slated for Yokohama and Okayama. Less than two weeks later the company, together with Nissan and Mitsubishi, marked the 75th anniversary of its iconic off‑road SUVs, highlighting the Land Cruiser’s origins in the 1950s, its global sales of roughly 14 million units, and its continued reputation for durability across a range of demanding environments.
