Toyota has announced the launch of the 2023 model year FJ Cruiser in the Middle East, along with a special and exclusive commemorative edition named "The Final Edition" to bid farewell to this iconic vehicle. Production of the "Final Edition" will be limited to just 1,000 units, each featuring unique enhancements and offering adventure enthusiasts an exceptional opportunity to own this distinguished vehicle and preserve a piece of its legendary history. The production of the FJ Cruiser is scheduled to end in December 2022, following over 15 years during which it stood as one of the most popular SUVs in the region.
The FJ Cruiser draws inspiration from the legendary FJ40, a rugged, versatile four-wheel-drive vehicle with a long legacy of powerful off-road performance spanning more than five decades. Designed as a capable, all-terrain SUV, the FJ Cruiser was developed specifically for drivers who seek to push beyond familiar boundaries. Launched in 2007, it received strong acclaim from both customers and critics alike for its classic character, particularly in the Middle East, where it gained passionate followings among off-road adventure enthusiasts.
The 2023 "Final Edition" is available in a distinctive beige exterior color, complemented by matching interior trim and center console accents, adding a modern touch to the vehicle’s design. A black finish on the front grille, bumpers, exterior mirrors, door handles, and the spare tire cover enhances the vehicle’s rugged appearance. Additional features include side sill panels and 17-inch aluminum wheels, while the unique "Final Edition" badge—showcasing the vehicle’s individual serial number—highlights the exclusivity of this limited run.
The 2023 FJ Cruiser model comes equipped with a 4-liter V6 engine producing 270 horsepower and a peak torque of 380 Nm, utilizing Toyota’s advanced Dual VVT-i variable valve timing technology. It also includes a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features such as Active Traction Control (A-TRAC), Crawl Control, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) with an optional disable function, Electronic Differential Lock, and superior performance across all terrains. Combined with Toyota’s global safety standards, these features ensure peace of mind for every driver.
The legendary status of the FJ Cruiser—recognized as one of Toyota’s most distinctive SUVs—along with its proven durability over the years, will remain deeply cherished by owners and the Toyota family. Owners can rest assured that they will continue to receive world-class service from local Toyota service centers even after production ends. The 2023 FJ Cruiser model is available in a variety of colors, finishes, and appealing specifications, with the "Final Edition" set to be launched in the region during the fourth quarter of 2022.
