The FJ's styling echoes the rugged early FJ40 Land Cruisers.
While its off-road prowess is superb, the FJ is full of compromises. Visibility is horrendous, and the rear-hinged rear doors provide poor cabin access and are difficult to close.
The FJ has clumsy handling and can be disconcerting at its limits, although the standard stability control keeps it secure enough. The ride is compliant but jiggly.
The V6 powertrain is smooth and punchy, but returned just 17 mpg overall with premium fuel required.
While crash-test results and reliability are impressive, the FJ scores too low in our testing to be recommended.
Overall a 36 out of 100
I was really surprised it was this low.
