The Land Cruiser 1958’s Price Has Barely Moved

The 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser 1958 starts at $57,880, and over two model-year changes the entry-level, round-headlight version has gone up by less than 1% each time.

The 1958’s increase for 2026 was smaller than the inflation rate at the time, and the better-equipped Land Cruiser grade has swung more in both directions, rising faster for 2026 before getting cheaper for 2027.

Kelley Blue Book reported in September 2025 that the 2026 Land Cruiser 1958 cost $58,695 including a $1,495 delivery fee, a $500 rise of 0.86% at a time when the Consumer Price Index had climbed 2.9% over the previous 12 months. The upscale model rose 2.94% that year. For 2027, Carscoops reported that the 1958’s $57,880 base price is $280 higher than the 2026’s, while the Land Cruiser grade fell $950 to $62,725. The two outlets’ 2026 figures don’t line up exactly, but both show the 1958 rising by well under 1%.

Taking Carscoops’ figures, the cut at the top shrinks the gap between the two grades from about $6,075 to $4,845, which makes the 1958’s pricing a closer call than before. According to Toyota’s 2027 release, the 1958 comes with round LED headlamps, the "TOYOTA" heritage grille, heated fabric seats, a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, automatic climate control, five USB-C ports, an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, six speakers and Blind Spot Monitor. It keeps the full off-road kit, including locking center and rear differentials, full-time four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case, CRAWL Control, a 2,400-watt AC inverter and a trailer brake controller, and it uses the same 326-horsepower i-FORCE MAX hybrid as the pricier model.

The Land Cruiser grade buys a lot more equipment. It adds rectangular LED headlamps, power heated and ventilated SofTex front seats, a wireless charger, 12.3-inch gauge and touchscreen displays, a power liftgate, a 10-speaker stereo, RIGID fog lights, Multi-Terrain Select and Multi-Terrain Monitor. The 1958’s option list remains short, and Motor1 reported that its factory options are the new $980 raised air intake, a $230 rear bumper guard and a $200 liftgate light.

The Toyota Report Take

Holding the 1958 nearly flat for two years is the right call, because its round-headlight look is what sold the Land Cruiser’s comeback to a lot of people. Cutting the price of the Land Cruiser grade at the same time is the more interesting move. With less than $5,000 now separating them, plenty of buyers will decide the bigger screens, power seats and Multi-Terrain Monitor are worth it, and the 1958 risks becoming the image car rather than the volume car.
