the breakdown The 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser gains a high air intake. The base 1958 Lan Cruiser starts at $59,380. The entire Land Cruiser range is $285 pricier than last year's model. The latest Toyota Land Cruiser checks nearly every box—rugged styling, an excellent powertrain, and serious off-road capability. But until now, it’s been missing one key feature: a raised air intake. That changes for 2027. For the new model year, Toyota adds a raised air intake as a factory option. It’s worth noting, though, that this is not the same as a snorkel. While snorkels are designed to improve water fording by sealing out moisture, this intake isn’t water-tight. Still, it looks cool and adds some functional benefit. The option costs $980 and is available on both the base 1958 trim and the standard Land Cruiser. The 2027 Land Cruiser also introduces a new black paint color called Inked, along with an available Premium package that brings heated and ventilated rear seats. That package now costs $4,905—an increase of $550 over last year. 2027 Land Cruiser Pricing 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser Pricing sees a modest bump across the lineup.

View Comments 2027 2026 Land Cruiser 1958 $59,380 $59,095 Land Cruiser $65,455 $65,170 The higher trim offers additional upgrades, including paint options priced between $350 and $475. Along with the raised air intake and Premium package, buyers can also add a rear bumper guard and liftgate light. Other available extras include 20-inch gray alloy wheels ($1,240), a moonroof ($850), and a console cool box ($170). Fully loaded, a 2027 Land Cruiser can climb past the $73,000 mark. Motor1's Take: Toyota is clearly leaning further into the Land Cruiser’s off-road identity with the addition of the raised air intake. For buyers who plan to venture off the beaten path, it’s a relatively affordable upgrade that enhances both form and function. We want your opinion! What would you like to see on Motor1.com?
