Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Feels Old Already, Gets a Virtual Facelift Across Fantasy Land

All in all, it certainly feels like a good time to be a Toyota 4x4 enthusiast, especially if you live in North America. You can have the all-new N400 Tacoma mid-size pickup truck with lots of new goodies, you can try the 2024 Land Cruiser with 326 hybrid ponies, or you can opt for a more expensive V6-powered J250 Lexus GX sibling. Hopefully, the next 4Runner will give an even better run for their money to the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. But what about the international markets?

Well, some of them have access to the 2024 Land Cruiser, which is also called Prado or Land Cruiser 250, in certain regions in a bid to better differentiate from the regular full-size Land Cruiser. The latest version, dubbed J300, was presented during the summer of 2021 and is built on the same body-on-frame TNGA-F platform as many of its Toyota cousins with downsized twin-turbo and naturally aspirated V6 powertrain options.

In the heat of the 2024 Land Cruiser 'party,' everyone might be excused for turning a blind eye to the big Land Cruiser, but – as always – the imaginative realm of digital car content creators is never forgetful or lacking in virtual ideas. For example, the good folks over at the AutoYa info channel on YouTube have a satellite venue dubbed AutoYa Interior, and that's where all the (CGI) J300 action occurs with the video feature embedded below previewing the hypothetical and unofficial facelift of the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser 300.

Despite being only three years old, the channel's host and the resident pixel master feel that it's already time for a thorough update that would include some modifications to the front fascia (subtle ones), new exterior colors, and a slight upgrade for the cockpit with a larger central screen, new steering wheel, and fresh HVAC controls, among others. Plus, the mandatory shade reel, of course, isn't missing – as this channel's CGI expert gives us a colorful preview of the Land Cruiser 300 both inside and outside.

So, what do you think? Will Toyota upgrade the big Land Cruiser so soon after introducing the J250 Land Cruiser (Prado) to the world, and would they perform subtle or revolutionary modifications on the legendary off-roader? Also, what is your favorite color combination between the hypothetical exterior and interior choices presented below? We certainly like the red interior with a blue exterior, but white on tan is not too shabby, either.
