Vuma FM: Toyota Land Cruiser FJ Review | Wheels & Journeys with Prashirwin Naidu

Prashirwin puts Toyota’s retro-inspired Land Cruiser FJ to the test and finds out whether reliability alone is enough to win buyers over.

The Land Cruiser FJ brings a touch of nostalgia to Toyota’s modern SUV line-up.

Join motoring journalist Prashirwin Naidu on Wheels ’n Journeys, proudly brought to you by Vuma FM, as he gets behind the wheel of the all-new Toyota Land Cruiser FJ.

In this episode, Prashirwin takes a closer look at Toyota’s latest off-road-focused SUV, exploring its rugged styling, practical cabin, modern safety features, and real-world driving experience. Drawing inspiration from the iconic FJ Cruiser, the Land Cruiser FJ brings a nostalgic design with a modern twist, wrapped in a more compact and accessible package.

It may not be the quickest SUV in its class, but capability has never been a Land Cruiser problem.

But does it have the performance to match its adventurous looks? Prashirwin shares his honest thoughts on the FJ’s 2.7-litre petrol engine, off-road capability, fuel consumption, and whether it can hold its own against rivals such as the Tank 300, Isuzu MU-X, and Ford Everest.

The episode wraps up with the Motoring Tip of the Week, highlighting the importance of checking a vehicle’s safety rating and airbag count before signing on the dotted line, and the Hot Jam of the Week: Funkdafied by Da Brat.
