I ll keep my 2007 fj thank you very much! electric conversion kits allow to retain the manual transmission, so that s what I d probably go for. I like the 2 door appearance, 4 door does nt look sport or masculine to me. no way is this thing body on frame, I d be very surprised. and it s key for the distinctive driving feeling. I feel like I m on back of a tyrannosaurus, yabadabadoo! I d get a new one from the middle east instead of this vacuum. it looks like a honda element, it does nt look tough. modifications will be quite limited on this thing. it can t compete with the fjs I ve seen, like yours. with admittedly quite a bit of money, one can build a real nice piece of art that looks as your own, a kind of monster truck that nothing can stop, while being perfectly good for the road. and with all those climate disasters, which are supposed to come more and more, one will be very content to have the current version, especially if it s jacked 3 inches or more. floods, snow storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms, are the things that can happen here in Quebec. does nt worry me one bit with my fj standing ready. I would nt feel so confident with the vacuum... if my apartment is destroyed, I have my second home. I lived in my fj 2 1/2 months, and it s better than camping. Toyota wastes money, it should concentrate on adding an electric motor to the current model. by keeping the manual transmission, it would be ahead of competition. real drivers want a driving experience, a sport, and that is the manual transmission. it s the natural evolution of the electric vehicles. as always, it will come to high end cars first, then, more regular cars. so why wait? 'no more boring cars' the manual fj is just that. people still just can t tell the age of my fj, it s design is timeless. we like it just as it is, like a rolls royce, which has it s distinctive looks, the fj is just right, this is why the value will always increase. James Bond s db7, the Mona Lisa, the Eifel tower, iconic. lightning does nt strike twice, the fj is act of god, ha, ha! I feel like I own a 57 chevy, or 67 mustang, and it makes me happy! good show!
@@vincenzodemarco7983 thank you, if my passion reached you, you must be an artist as well, or at least some kind of fine art enthousiast, we surely share appreciation of fine lines in vehicles and women. true traits of romantic men. best regards my brother!
The color you see in the video is the only color we have seen at the moment, but if they put it into production it will be curious to see what colors are available.
Although I'll never sell my FJ I'm really interested in this for commuting into the city! Nothing wrong with owning two FJ's - right? Hope we can preview the interior soon.
As an FJ owner, if it doesn’t have suicide doors, it’s not an FJ 😆. It does look great though. I sometimes have thoughts of maybe one day saving Elon Musk’s life and he can convert my FJ into a badass EV. It would be called a Toyola FJEV. We can all dream right? 🤣🤣
If they build this on a frame-on-body construction, full EV and the same size of the Suzuki Jimny, with the same looks as in the video, I'll be the first to make a deposit for this. I'm a Bronco fan through and through; but to have a small, capable offroad EV that can go down small trails and still bomb around the city as a street legal side by side essentially? I'm sold!
Needs to be bigger. I would never take that "Jeep renegade" look alike off road... I've pulled out 4 renegades out of the mud with my TRUE FJ, I'll definitely pass on it until it meets the FJ standard.
So Toyota is competing with the Mini Cooper now? Because this thing sure looks like a mini Cooper. EV don’t have the range to be off road, outdoor vehicles.
I will still keep my FJ. The compact would be fine for shopping around town and, commutes. I will be looking into purchasing this as a companion to my FJ.
There is an obscure “cruiser” in the Toyota product line history - The Toyota Mini Cruiser - a military spec 4wd produced in the 1970s up to the early 80s sold in South East Asia and Latin America. It is about 3/4 the size of an FJ40. Recently the Philippines has requested Toyota to revive the military spec Mini Cruiser for its Army.
Nooooooooooooo. Not EV please. I don't mind mild hybrid but not 100 electric. I don't think u will be able to find any charging stations on a mountain top.
yea, without real off-road credibility, it is not an FJ. hopefully Toyota gets the memo and builds a real off-roader. what we dont want is a RAV4 crossover for crawling malls.
Maybe smaller tires and make sure it has no roof rack or other modifications. But really the FJ will never be a great vehicle of you want good gas mileage. It just wasn't built for that 🤷♂️
The vehicle is an oxymoron. It won't have enough range to be truly off-road, and it won't be efficient enough or have the room in back to be a daily commuter. It's cute as hell, but as an EV, it's flawed. The bZ4x makes more sense and will have better utility, but even that vehicle is lacking range.
For the last years I have been posting suggestions to Toyota about making a small off roader FJ like in the line of Suzuki Jimny. The potential for them is there. The Land Cruiser is top but far too big. I own a first gen Rav4 and although it is not a proper off-roader it rocks.
I will keep my 2013 Trail Teams. This looks Crappy . They need to make the next one that can remove doors & roof. They should call this EV concept another name .
I love Toyota but clearly they have lost it and they won’t be around much longer, all they had to do was keep the old body fix the blind spots and make all the doors able to open on there own, electrify it and call it a day. This is horrible, it literally looks like an off-road Kia soul knock off. #Toyota is dying
I’m actually excited about this, everyone just needs to remember this is a concept. Just like the 2003 concept of the FJ this is most likely nowhere near what would hit the market. Also another thing of note is that EV Motors generate much more torque than traditional combustion engines. I would only wait to see what the charge range is on the motor. But that’s just my two cents.
I have a 2012 FJ Trail Teams Edition with about 3000 miles and in immaculate condition that I am considering selling. Any ideas on what it is worth and the best way to sell it. I hate to sell but really need a truck again and money to help with building new house. I don’t have to sell so also wonder if suggested to hold onto it.
That is my dream FJ! Sell it to me! Haha Very nice that it is such low miles, it would be worth a premium. I do have an idea of what its worth and the best way to sell it if you really want to get top dollar.
@@FJX2000_Productions Agreed. They would look pretty cool on a passenger car…but thankfully the FJ is no passenger car lol. We need the gen 2 designer back!🙏
@@FJX2000_Productions I don't Think about how much something costs, when I'm in love with it. Same as Air, I breathe as much as I want and Never even consider what the Bill might be. 🥳
Even soccer moms drive FJs 🤷♂️ so I'm sure some would get the Cruiser EV and use it one way or the other, but I agree it seems much better suited for the pavement
Noooooo! God no!!!!!! Call it a RAV!!! Do NOT DO THIS!!! FJ lovers are waiting for a Ford bronco type replacement, not this Lego toy! For god sake‘s what the hell are you thinking????
Probably not, for starters the model hasn’t even been made yet, if at all, so getting those headlights is pretty much impossible, and then it is a completely different model than the FJ, so no parts would be cross compatible. That would include headlights.
@@FJX2000_Productions my previous headlights was shattered in the trails.. a rock misses completely my front guards and hit my headlights ...still waiting for the replacements
I apologize for the first few seconds of the video 😂 hope you enjoy it overall however and be sure to leave your thoughts here on the comment section!
I think people going to Bed, Bath and Beyond, Whole Foods and Starbucks will love this.
Some people say the same thing about the FJ 🤷♂️ but we try to prove them wrong!
Looks awesome, I also really like the VW EV microbus it's a throwback to the 60s.
It does have a unique aesthetic of it's own that's for sure!
Woooa this video is so awesome my friend 🥰
thank you so much for sharing it with us,
your doing a great job keep it up,
Thanks so much!
Bro I hate that small thing, but I have a feeling that it could be in production anytime soon
My understanding is all the EVs featured could into production relatively soon
They should also add to this New FJ a Monroof or Sunroof for upgrade or either a Removable Top 🚙🚗👍🏻
The unveiling of the FJ Cruiser concept was appreciated and even demanded by Toyota fans.. The demand is why it went into production lol
Nice details in this video. Thanks 😊
Thanks 😁😁
Not my vision however I love my FJ just not an electric. What can you do? Maybe they'll do it right and make tops come off in some form. .

modifications will be quite limited on this thing.
it can t compete with the fjs I ve seen, like yours.
with admittedly quite a bit of money,
one can build a real nice piece of art that looks as your own,
a kind of monster truck that nothing can stop,
while being perfectly good for the road.
and with all those climate disasters, which are supposed to come more and more,
one will be very content to have the current version,
especially if it s jacked 3 inches or more.

I agree
Thanks for sharing! The FJ is indeed iconic!
@@FJX2000_Productions you do an excellent job with your channel to demonstrate my points to Toyota, keep it up bro!
I want them to bring back the original fj cruiser with maybe a hybrid
Looks like it's a little bigger then a hyundai Kona? I'm definitely interested in it
What about different colors?
The color you see in the video is the only color we have seen at the moment, but if they put it into production it will be curious to see what colors are available.
What is with that weird looking rear door? I know it's a concept mockup, but it looks totally unusable.
This is only a joke. An Element and Cruiser had a Kid. I will never sell my FJ. But this is a close as an EV.
Yeah definitely not a true FJ replacement
did anyone notice the small fj cruiser toy 11:58
Yep! Mentioned it in the video with a little note at some point!
Full electric off road anything is a disaster waiting to happen....love this Fj concept,not the EV.
Good points!
2nd
Good work! Thanks!
That looks like !&%! Like that box Kia.
LOL
I will carve a hole in the floor of my FJ, stand in it, and drive it like Fred Flinstone before I ever consider buying an EV
I think you speak for the majority of FJ cruiser community, this new one looks like it wouldn’t compete with the new bronco, or the new hummer.
I would pick my good old FJ anyday that's for sure
Although I'll never sell my FJ I'm really interested in this for commuting into the city! Nothing wrong with owning two FJ's - right? Hope we can preview the interior soon.
Yeah seeing more than just the dashboard would be great!
I also have an FJ, I also would be interested in this… Only if it is not associated with an FJ.
As an FJ owner, if it doesn’t have suicide doors, it’s not an FJ 😆. It does look great though. I sometimes have thoughts of maybe one day saving Elon Musk’s life and he can convert my FJ into a badass EV. It would be called a Toyola FJEV. We can all dream right? 🤣🤣

So, what Toyota is saying is that they’ve seen the new Bronco and were completely unmoved.
Haha! Pretty much right?
Bigger is not better off road.
Needs to be bigger. I would never take that "Jeep renegade" look alike off road... I've pulled out 4 renegades out of the mud with my TRUE FJ, I'll definitely pass on it until it meets the FJ standard.
I feel the same!
So Toyota is competing with the Mini Cooper now? Because this thing sure looks like a mini Cooper. EV don’t have the range to be off road, outdoor vehicles.
Yeah EV range offroad seems like an issue
just build the fj40 of the 70s period
Wouldn't that be great?!
12:40 if that baby cruiser comes standard with the new EV Cruiser, I'd take it.
That would be so fun! Some of the early FJs sold came with special models that were super realistic and are now worth a pretty penny!
I will still keep my FJ. The compact would be fine for shopping around town and, commutes. I will be looking into purchasing this as a companion to my FJ.
Sounds like a great idea! I like the sound of that as well!

I'd like it to have round headlights and 2 doors. I also did notice Lite Cruiser.
Glad we are on the same page!

Preach
I have a 2007 FJ here in Saudi Arabia. What can i do to make it more economical? I love taking it offroad but it is too thirsty for long roadtrips.
Maybe smaller tires and make sure it has no roof rack or other modifications. But really the FJ will never be a great vehicle of you want good gas mileage. It just wasn't built for that 🤷♂️
@@FJX2000_Productions Thanks I appreciate the response.

the term lite cruiser might end up like the bronco sport and follow the lines like the bronco and come out with a fuller size later.
Oh very good point! Didn't think of it that way!
Looks smaller,front bumper with that big sign is not necessary, love my 2010 F with those unlike doors!9

Un motor 1.5 turbo con el mismo modelo frontal fj estaría genial para competir con jimny.
This is so beautiful
Well done video. What took Toyota so long to compete in EV arena?
I say 👍 to the video, and 👎 to the Compact Cruiser EV.
Thanks! Haha

The new EV cruiser doesn't look off roading without the spare tire on the tailgate.
Good point, needs a swing out bumper with a spare on it right?
Oh wow so great very handsome 😍 for on the off 🛣️ it's very easy ❤.
0:00 Me every time toyota unveils a new FJ concept car

Oh yeah !! Love fj and your channel
Thanks so much!!
Awesome channel for sure! Filled a vacuum in FJ media.
Nice, I want one FJ EV , build it Toyota 👍
Would be neat to see!
Looks like a big Kia Soul. No heritage design cues. The headlights look mods bought on AliExpress. Trash. Simply trash. Makes me sad:(
