The range consists of the Land Cruiser 1958, Land Cruiser and First Edition, but all share the same 326 hp, 2.4-litre hybrid engine and all-wheel drive transmission.

There's the Ford Bronco, America's new favorite mud-and-guts SUV. The Land Cruiser name is returning to the US this spring after a two-year hiatus, and today Toyota revealed how much we'll have to pay to park it in our front yards.

The three-tier lineup starts at $55,950 before a $1,395 destination charge for the entry-level Land Cruiser 1958; it's a retro nod to the first LCs imported to America, complete with circular LED headlights that make it easy to distinguish from other models on the market. range. Standard equipment includes heated cloth seats, a smart key system, blind spot monitoring, automatic climate control, a 7-inch digital instrument display and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system running wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The '58 has the same 2.4-liter i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain that produces 326 hp (330 PS) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) as pricier models, and Toyota won't even make you pay extra.

But buyers who prefer glamping over camping may want to upgrade to the Land Cruiser for $61,950 (again, before $1,395 delivery fee). This model includes rectangular lights, electric SofTex (faux leather) seats, 12.3-inch display and infotainment screens, 10-speaker sound system and electric trunk lid. It also adds a few more devices that can be useful when towing a trailer or adventuring off-road: Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM) to improve axle articulation, a Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) drive mode controller for different surfaces, and a Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) ride mode controller , Terrain Monitor (MTM) camera system is available.

The optional Premium Package includes ventilated leather seats, a 14-speaker JBL audio kit, a digital rearview mirror, a head-up display, a power moonroof, and a center console cool box. And finally, the $74,950 (or $76,345 with destination) First Edition, which combines the best features of the Premium-equipped midsize Cruiser and the base car's retro appeal, adds the round lights and all the toys of 1958, plus unique 18-inch wheels, “First Edition” logos, roof rack, rock rails and front skid plate. Unfortunately, Toyota's drip-feed information strategy means we don't yet know how much the higher grades or the Premium Package cost.

But Toyota's announced starting price of $55,950 (or $57,345 with destination) means this latest Land Cruiser is almost $30,000 cheaper than the last Land Cruiser model offered in America in 2021, placing it in the middle of its modern rivals means. A four-door Bronco starts at $39,870, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe series starts at $50,695, and you need $60,600 to get into the most basic four-door Land Rover Defender 110 S. Which one would you choose?
