2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 1958: Specs, Features & Canadian Trim Comparison

The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 1958 is the entry point to the returning Land Cruiser range in Canada. Its round-headlamp styling is immediately recognizable, but the important question is what you keep—and what you give up—by choosing this grade instead of the more expensive Land Cruiser configurations.

Hybrid powertrain and four-wheel drive

The shared i-FORCE MAX powertrain combines a turbocharged 2.4-litre four-cylinder with an electric motor and eight-speed automatic, producing 326 combined horsepower and 465 lb-ft. Full-time four-wheel drive, high/low range, a locking centre differential and an electronic locking rear differential are included. Toyota Canada’s 2024 technical introduction.

Moving up a grade does not buy a higher published engine output. That makes equipment the useful focus of the comparison: decide whether the extra terrain tools and cabin features matter to your intended use. A hybrid badge should not be read as a promise of plug-in charging or a particular electric-only driving distance.

What 1958 includes—and what it does not

The 1958 keeps CRAWL Control and Downhill Assist Control. The front stabilizer disconnect and Multi-Terrain Select are features of the higher Land Cruiser grade rather than 1958. The Multi-Terrain Monitor is another upgrade, not a camera system to assume is fitted to the base grade. Canadian terrain-equipment breakdown.

If your plans involve challenging trails, identify the equipment you actually need before paying for cosmetic additions. Tires, recovery preparation and driver knowledge remain separate considerations; a list of electronic systems cannot tell you how a particular route or surface will behave.

Interior and everyday use

Canadian 1958 specification includes five seats, fabric upholstery, heated front seats and steering wheel, an 8-inch multimedia display, six speakers and a 7-inch driver information screen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported. The 1958 seats are manually adjusted; do not assume the power-seat equipment of the higher grade. Canadian 2024 product summary.

That simpler cabin may be enough if your priority is the basic vehicle rather than luxury equipment. Try the seating position and rear access, then check your normal luggage with the seats in use. This Canadian model has five seats, so buyers who need a third row should not treat it as a seven-passenger SUV based on older Land Cruiser models or another market’s specification.

Canadian trim comparison

Canadian starting MSRPs from Toyota’s February 27, 2024 launch announcement, checked October 29, 2026. CAD amounts exclude freight/PDI, fees and taxes and are historical—not current offers or the filmed vehicle’s total.

2024 configuration	Starting MSRP	Versus 1958	Main reasons to move up
1958	$69,290	Reference	Round headlamps and simpler cabin; shared hybrid/4WD foundation.
Land Cruiser	$77,290	$8,000 more	Larger screens, ventilated front seats, power tailgate and additional terrain equipment.
Land Cruiser with Premium Package	$83,290	$14,000 more	Leather, JBL audio, head-up display and further convenience features.
First Edition	$90,370	$21,080 more	Limited-edition equipment and trim, including rock rails and roof rack.

Toyota Canada’s launch pricing and grades supplies the figures above. Premium Package adds $6,000 over the Land Cruiser grade, not $14,000 over that grade; the larger number in the chart is relative to 1958. Optional accessories and individual vehicle history can change the actual comparison.

For most shoppers, the first decision is the $8,000 historical step to Land Cruiser, because it changes both the cabin and terrain-equipment list. Compare that package with what you would miss on 1958. First Edition is a separate limited-production proposition rather than a necessary upgrade for the shared hybrid output.

Fuel consumption and towing

NRCan’s 2024 Land Cruiser row is rated at 10.7 city / 9.5 highway / 10.1 combined L/100 km, with premium gasoline. Toyota’s Canadian summary matches these figures. At a hypothetical 20,000 km annually, the combined rating represents 2,020 litres before real-world variation. NRCan fuel-consumption data.

Toyota lists up to 6,000 lb of towing capacity and a standard hitch. This is a maximum rating, not a promise for any fully loaded combination: check the handbook, the individual vehicle’s load label, trailer tongue weight and equipment. Canadian capacity specification.

Safety and buying checks

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and parking assistance with automatic braking are listed for the Canadian range. Drivers must still supervise the vehicle and follow the operating limitations. Canadian safety equipment.

When comparing used examples, inspect the underside and ask about modifications, towing and off-road use without assuming that the vehicle has been abused. Review maintenance records, recall status and remaining coverage against the VIN. Check fitted tires and accessories separately from the factory grade, and get an insurance quote before treating the purchase price as your complete budget.

Check the VIN for all outstanding recalls and completed repairs. One relevant campaign is Transport Canada recall 2026497, which includes certain 2024 Land Cruisers: a fuel-tube connection can separate, causing a leak, possible engine stalling and a fire risk. Toyota’s remedy is dealer inspection, a connection clamp and replacement of the plastic tube if required. This is not a complete recall list, and model-year inclusion does not establish that this particular vehicle is affected or repaired.

Final thoughts

The 1958 is worth considering if you want the shared hybrid and four-wheel-drive hardware without paying for the higher-grade cabin and terrain additions. The best choice depends on whether you will use those extra features—not simply which trim looks more rugged. Verify the actual vehicle and compare like-for-like prices before deciding.
