I’d wait for Toyota Saudi to confirm the Land Cruiser FJ’s price and delivery date before paying a deposit. As of 16 October 2026, neither is official: SAR 180,000 is an estimate, while SAR 188,000 is a market asking price - not distributor pricing.
Here’s what I’d keep in mind:
Confirmed Saudi spec: VX trim, a 2.7-litre petrol engine with 164 hp and 245 Nm, a six-speed automatic and part-time 4WD.
Still to check: seating, safety equipment, air conditioning, fuel economy, warranty and off-road measurements.
Buying costs: ask whether the quote includes 15% VAT, registration, insurance and dealer fees.
Booking status: <u>registering interest is not placing an order</u>. Get the grade, final price, refund terms and delivery window in writing.
My take: it’s worth watching if you want a compact petrol 4WD, but don’t plan your next purchase around an unconfirmed arrival date.

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Saudi Arabia: Confirmed vs Pending
Expected Saudi Price and Buying Costs
Toyota Saudi Arabia lists the Land Cruiser FJ as upcoming, but no official Saudi retail price has been published. A Riyadh listing offers a market reference - not the authorised Saudi distributor’s price. For now, market asking prices and dealer fees are the only pricing references available.
Item | Status | Amount | VAT included? | Source date |
Official Saudi retail price | Not published | - | Unconfirmed | 4 October 2026 update |
Riyadh market listing for a 2027 model | Market asking price, not official distributor pricing | SAR 188,000 | Not confirmed | 12 October 2026 |
Saudi Arabia applies 15% VAT to new cars, so check whether each quote includes it. Don’t assume a market listing or an imported vehicle’s asking price covers VAT, registration or dealer fees.
Grades, Equipment and On-Road Costs
Toyota’s Middle East materials mention Mid and High grades, but Saudi confirmation is still pending. Regional reports link Mid to 17-inch alloy wheels and High to 18-inch alloys. They also link Toyota Safety Sense, a panoramic-view monitor and blind-spot monitoring to High. Before comparing prices, check exactly which equipment each quote includes.
Allow for registration, plates, insurance and dealer fees. Insurance premiums depend on the driver, location, vehicle value, cover and claims history. Ask the dealer to itemise optional extras, including tinting, ceramic coating, roof racks, recovery equipment and extended warranties.
For finance quotes, ask for the cash price, deposit and total repayment, not just the monthly instalment. That makes it easier to see whether extra costs come from the car, accessories or finance.
Price is one part of the buying decision; the FJ’s engine and off-road setup also need to suit Saudi use.
Saudi Specifications and Off-Road Use
Engine, Gearbox and Dimensions
The confirmed Saudi-spec mechanical details are listed below.
Specification | Saudi Arabia |
Engine | 2.7-litre four-cylinder petrol |
Power | 164 hp at 5,200 rpm |
Torque | 245 Nm at 4,000 rpm |
Gearbox | Six-speed automatic |
Drivetrain | Selectable part-time 4WD |
Length × width × height | 4,610 × 1,855 × 1,890 mm |
Wheelbase | 2,580 mm |
Fuel tank | 63 litres |
Tyres | 265/60 R18 |
These figures suggest usable everyday torque, rather than a focus on outright performance.
Desert Driving, Suspension and Tyres
The ladder-frame chassis, double wishbone front suspension and four-link rear axle form the basis of the FJ’s off-road setup. Its 2,580 mm wheelbase keeps it compact for city streets and tighter trails.
The selectable part-time 4WD system lets you use 4H for soft sand and 4L for recovery or steep climbs. The 265/60 R18 tyres have enough sidewall to help when airing down for soft Saudi dunes. Saudi ground clearance, approach and departure angles, and wading depth remain unannounced.
Cabin Features and Running Costs
Saudi buyers still have some cabin and ownership details to check.
Synthetic-leather upholstery is confirmed for Saudi models, but the seat layout is not yet official. Saudi documentation also leaves infotainment, safety, driver-assistance and air-conditioning details unconfirmed, so check these at the showroom.
Fuel economy, warranty terms and servicing packages remain unannounced. Without fuel economy figures, the 63-litre tank alone cannot provide a reliable driving-range estimate.
Saudi Arrival and Showroom Availability
As of 16 October 2026, Saudi Arabia’s launch date remains unannounced. Treat the teaser as marketing - not confirmation that sales have started. For now, customers can only register their interest.
Launch, Orders and Delivery Dates
Toyota Saudi’s upcoming Land Cruiser FJ page collects customer interest. It does not confirm a launch date, order opening, vehicle allocation or delivery date.

Order opening | Not yet announced | Saudi registration coverage | Not yet announced |

What to Check Before Booking
Contact Abdul Latif Jameel Motors through an authorised channel or call Toyota Saudi on 800 440 0055. Ask them to confirm:
The grade, final price including VAT, any extra fees and whether the price is fixed.
The deposit amount, cancellation and refund terms, allocation status and delivery window.
Conclusion: Should Saudi Buyers Wait for the FJ?
Wait if you want a compact petrol 4WD and can delay your purchase. The confirmed figures point to a practical compact 4WD rather than a high-output SUV. Seating for the Saudi model remains unconfirmed.
There are still gaps in the buying details. If you need a car now, don’t wait: delivery timing has yet to be confirmed. Hold off on judging its trail ability until the official off-road figures are available.
Before paying, get the final Saudi price, grade, delivery date, warranty terms and full equipment list in writing. Treat the FJ as a wait-and-see purchase until Toyota Saudi confirms its price and delivery date.
FAQs
How can I verify a Land Cruiser FJ price quote?
Meet the seller in person to inspect the car and check that it matches the listing. Never transfer money online before seeing the vehicle in person.
Compare the asking price with current market price ranges on YallaMotor to see whether it’s competitive. Take care to check the vehicle’s condition thoroughly before finalising any purchase agreement.
Can I use the FJ’s 4WD on paved roads?
The Toyota FJ Cruiser has a part-time four-wheel-drive system, so you should generally keep 4WD disengaged on paved roads. On high-traction surfaces, such as dry tarmac, using 4WD can cause drivetrain binding and may damage components.
Use 4WD only on loose or slippery surfaces where wheel slip is expected.
What should I test before buying the FJ?
Before buying a Toyota FJ Cruiser, meet the seller in person. Check that the vehicle matches its listing and inspect its overall condition.
Test the four-wheel-drive system, infotainment screen, surround-view cameras and standard safety systems, including the anti-lock braking system (ABS). Check the underfloor bracing and inspect the removable bumper covers for damage.
