As the world celebrates a risen Christ and Easter, Toyota Motor Philippines has finally laid to rest one of its longest serving vehicles: the FJ Cruiser. After almost a decade as part of its official line-up, it has finally been discontinued this April.
The FJ Cruiser was built as a homage to the original Land Cruiser, the no-nonsense FJ40. Aimed at attracting a young male user base, a segment Toyota felt they were losing at the time, the FJ Cruiser was designed at the Calty Design Search center in California. It was powered by a 4.0-liter V6 engine producing 268 horsepower and 380 Nm. It used a 5-speed automatic with a two-speed four-wheel drive system and rear locking differential. Its specification was rather basic with fabric seats, manual AC controls, a non-touchscreen infotainment system, and a rear backup camera. Eventually, the specs were improved to include a touchscreen-based infotainment system.
As part of its goodbye, Toyota Motor Philippines quietly brought in the FJ Cruiser Final Edition. This special variant gets a special beige exterior color that’s color-matched by the seat upholstery and center console. It also gets a high-gloss black coating to its headlight surround, grille, door handles, and fog light clusters. A special plaque on the gas cap and dashboard denotes its stature as a limited-edition model with just 1,000 made globally. Only 11 made it into the country.
