The 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser features a more powerful design compared to the current model. Up front, the new headlamps ooze aggression and have LED lighting. The new radiator grille, built of five prominent vertical bars with double slats between them, packs into an angular chrome enclosure. Toyota has redesigned the bumper, fog lamps, lower grille and even gone as far as resculpting the bonnet.

At the rear, the facelifted Toyota Land Cruiser features tweaked tail lamps, repositioned fog lamps, restyled bumper and a revised tailgate design. The spare wheel cover is a carry over from the current model. Leaked images have already revealed the TRD accessories for the 2017 Land Cruiser Prado. Earlier images also showed the SUV's refreshed interior with elements influenced by the Toyota Land Cruiser.
