2027 Toyota Land Cruiser Interior and Technology
2027 Toyota Land Cruiser Interior and Technology
The 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser carries forward the heritage-inspired, two-row design introduced when the nameplate returned to North America in 2024 — and adds two meaningful comfort and capability upgrades for the new model year. Inside, the cabin pairs body-on-frame ruggedness with modern multimedia, a refined two-trim lineup, and an available Premium Package that elevates the experience to true luxury territory.
This page breaks down what's new for 2027, how the interior is equipped across both trims, and which technology features come where — so North Hollywood-area shoppers can quickly see which Land Cruiser configuration fits. For more model deep-dives, explore our full Toyota Research hub.

What's New for 2027 Inside the Land Cruiser
For the 2027 model year, Toyota's updates focus on second-row comfort and off-road capability, with one fresh exterior color rounding out the changes.
| New for 2027 | Availability |
|---|---|
| Heated and Ventilated Second-Row Outboard Seats | Premium Package on Land Cruiser trim |
| High Mounted Air Intake | Available option on both trims ($980) |
| Inked exterior color | Available on all trims (no-cost option) |
The headline interior update is the available heated and ventilated second-row outboard seats, bringing the rear cabin's climate comfort closer to what front passengers have enjoyed since the 2024 reintroduction. The high-mounted air intake — previously reserved for Trailhunter-grade siblings — is the year's most noteworthy capability addition for off-road use.
Two-Row, Five-Passenger Cabin
The Land Cruiser's current generation seats five across two rows, a configuration that has defined the model since its 2024 return to the U.S. market. The two-row layout creates a more spacious environment for both front and rear occupants compared with three-row competitors in the body-on-frame segment, and frees up cargo volume behind the second row. The rear seats fold flat to extend the cargo floor when more space is needed.
For families needing third-row capacity, the Toyota Sequoia continues to serve that segment. The Land Cruiser is purpose-built for adventurers, daily commuters, and small families who prioritize off-road capability, premium comfort, and cargo flexibility over maximum passenger count.
Interior Dimensions
The 2027 Land Cruiser's two-row cabin delivers generous space across both rows, with rear shoulder and hip room actually exceeding the front in measured width — a benefit of the boxy, upright body design.
| Dimension | Front Row | Second Row |
|---|---|---|
| Headroom | 40.1" | 39.3" |
| Legroom | 43.0" | 36.7" |
| Shoulder Room | 58.8" | 59.2" |
| Hip Room | 55.4" | 57.0" |
Seating, Materials, and Comfort by Trim
The 2027 Land Cruiser comes in two trims that take dramatically different approaches to the interior, with the optional Premium Package transforming the Land Cruiser trim into a true luxury configuration:
| Comfort Feature | Land Cruiser 1958 | Land Cruiser | Land Cruiser + Premium Package |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upholstery | Fabric | SofTex synthetic leather | Leather-trimmed |
| Driver seat adjustability | 6-way manual | 8-way power | 8-way power w/ lumbar + memory |
| Heated front seats | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Ventilated front seats | Not available | Standard | Standard |
| Heated rear seats | Not available | Standard | Standard |
| Ventilated 2nd-row outboard seats | Not available | Not available | Standard (NEW for 2027) |

The 1958 trim embraces a heritage, back-to-basics approach with cloth seats and round LED headlamps inspired by the original FJ25. The standard Land Cruiser trim moves the cabin toward modern luxury with SofTex-trimmed power-adjustable front seats and heated rear seats. The Premium Package — exclusive to the Land Cruiser trim — adds true leather upholstery, lumbar and memory functions, and the brand-new heated/ventilated second-row outboard seats.
Infotainment and Multimedia
The Land Cruiser runs Toyota Audio Multimedia with screen size and feature depth scaling by trim. Both trims include wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto as standard — no cables required to project navigation, messaging, or audio from a paired iPhone or Android device.
| Infotainment Feature | Land Cruiser 1958 | Land Cruiser | Premium Package Upgrades |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multimedia touchscreen | 8.0-inch | 12.3-inch | Same as Land Cruiser trim |

| Head-Up Display (HUD) | Not available | Not available | Adds HUD |

The 12.3-inch touchscreen on the Land Cruiser trim is the centerpiece of the modernized cabin, paired with a fully reconfigurable 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. The Premium Package layers on a Head-Up Display that projects key driving information onto the windshield, helping drivers keep their eyes forward on highway commutes and trail runs alike.
Audio Systems by Trim
Audio scales meaningfully across the Land Cruiser lineup — each tier brings more speakers, better tuning, and additional amplification:
| Audio System | Speakers | Trim Availability | Notable Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Audio | 6 speakers | Land Cruiser 1958 | SiriusXM, Bluetooth, steering-wheel audio controls |
| Upgraded Audio | 10 speakers | Land Cruiser trim (standard) | Enhanced fidelity, balanced bass response |
| 14-Speaker JBL Premium | 14 speakers | Premium Package on Land Cruiser trim | Subwoofer, dedicated amplifier, concert-quality surround |
The available 14-speaker JBL system delivers concert-quality sound with deep bass and crisp highs across the cabin — well-suited to the long highway drives common between North Hollywood, Burbank, and weekend destinations farther afield.
Drive Modes
Three driver-selectable modes are accessible via a button on the center console, letting you tailor throttle response and efficiency to the moment:
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Normal | Balanced fuel economy and performance for everyday driving |
| Sport | Sharper throttle response for spirited acceleration |
| Eco | Optimized throttle input to maximize fuel efficiency |
Off-Road Technology and Driver Controls
The 2027 Land Cruiser's off-road hardware is among the most capable in its segment, with much of it controlled directly from buttons on the center console and steering wheel:
| Technology | Land Cruiser 1958 | Land Cruiser | Land Cruiser + Premium Package |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-time 4WD with 2-speed transfer case | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Center and rear locking differentials | Standard | Standard | Standard |

| Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM) | Not available | Available | Available |
| 2,400-watt AC inverter | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Trailer brake controller | Standard | Standard | Standard |
CRAWL Control acts as a low-speed off-road cruise control with five selectable speeds, letting the driver focus on steering while the system manages throttle and braking. Multi-Terrain Select offers terrain-specific traction tuning in 4WD High and 4WD Low, while the available Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism electronically disconnects the front sway bar at the push of a button to improve wheel articulation over rough terrain.
Connected Services and Wi-Fi
The 2027 Land Cruiser includes complimentary trials of Toyota's Connected Services suite, which extends the infotainment system into remote control, vehicle health, and navigation via the Toyota smartphone app:
| Connected Service | Trial Period | What It Does |
|---|---|---|

| Service Connect | 5 years | Vehicle health reports and maintenance alerts via app |

After the trial periods end, services can be continued via subscription — useful for keeping the Land Cruiser connected on extended drives.
Driver Assistance and Camera Technology
Every 2027 Land Cruiser comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, the brand's current-generation suite of active safety and driver-assist technologies.
| Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (Standard, Both Trims) |
|---|

| Hill Start Assist Control |
The Premium Package layers on additional convenience features: Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Change Assist, Front Cross-Traffic Alert, and a Digital Rearview Mirror.
Multi-Terrain Monitor — The 360° Camera System
Standard on the Land Cruiser trim, Toyota's Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM) is part of the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system — a multi-camera surround-view setup that uses cameras around the vehicle's perimeter to provide a bird's-eye view of the Land Cruiser's surroundings on the 12.3-inch touchscreen. The system is designed for both urban parking and off-road navigation, with multiple selectable viewing angles (front, rear, side views) that reveal terrain, rocks, and obstacles that would otherwise be hidden from the driver's sightline. For tight parking situations common to North Hollywood and the surrounding Valley neighborhoods, the system makes maneuvering significantly easier.
Premium Package — Complete Feature List

Folding the rear seats flat expands total cargo capacity to 82.2 cubic feet, opening the cabin to bikes, camping gear, large strollers, or weekend hauls.
Inside the cabin, storage and power outlets are distributed throughout for everyday convenience:
