Drive the legendary Land Cruiser for less this September
For decades, the Land Cruiser has built its reputation on reliability, durability, and versatility, standing tall as one of Toyota’s most iconic and long-lasting SUVs. With a lower MSRP than the previous generation, the latest model is more accessible to buyers than before, and September’s lease offers make that clear. This month, shoppers can drive home a new 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser for $790 per month. For clarity’s sake: we’re talking about the top-trim Land Cruiser here, not the Land Cruiser 1958 that sits below it. The 36-month lease term allows 12,000 miles annually and, like every Toyota lease, includes two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance through ToyotaCare. You’ll need to pay $3,440 at signing, and monthly payments exclude taxes, registration fees, and other potential charges.
Want to lease a Land Cruiser with $0 down?
If you aren’t willing to part with the $3,440 upfront, you could spread that amount out over 36 months to get a rough idea of what a Land Cruiser lease looks like with no money down. Doing so adds $96 to the monthly payment, bringing the new total to $886 per month. Of course, this is also before fees and taxes, and isn’t a formal $0 down quote from Toyota.

More about the Toyota Land Cruiser
Toyota offers the Land Cruiser in just two different trim levels, and while it’s perhaps a little counterintuitive, the Land Cruiser actually sits above the Land Cruiser 1958. That means lots of standard equipment that you otherwise miss out on, like a large 12.3-inch touchscreen replacing the smaller eight-inch display and ventilated SofTex seats replacing the basic cloth seats. Those you share the road (or trail) with will know you sprung for the more expensive model, too. The Land Cruiser comes with upgraded rectangular LED headlights and color-selectable LED fog lights, and a slightly fancier front bumper design that eliminates some of the black plastic cladding.

Things change less under the hood, but that’s not a bad thing. We’re talking about the potent 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and hybrid system that generates a more than adequate 326 horsepower and thrilling 426 pound-feet of torque. The Land Cruiser can tow up to 6,000 pounds and comes with four-wheel drive. With room for five passengers and a total of 82.1 cubic feet of cargo space — half a cubic foot more than the previous Land Cruiser generation — the Land Cruiser is ready for almost any challenge.
Final thoughts
Last month’s lease deal was almost the same per month, with slightly more money down, for a 2025 model. So, by that benchmark, September’s lease deal is an improvement. Though more expensive than the entry-level Land Cruiser 1958, the Land Cruiser makes a solid case for itself by virtue of its unique exterior equipment and enhanced interior amenities. Despite the extra luxury, there is no reduction in on-road or off-road prowess, and we think that makes the Land Cruiser a worthy contender in the mid-size SUV segment. Of course, buyers in need of a third row of seats will sadly have to look elsewhere.
