Is the 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser a good car?

Yes — with a 5/5 user rating and a 6/10 expert rating, the 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser looks like a strong fit if you want a full-size, body-on-frame SUV that can handle family duty and serious trail use. The model scores 7/10 across Performance, Form and function, and Safety.

It stands out as Toyota’s flagship SUV, with either two or three rows of seating and a familiar, proven character rather than a flashy one. The upside is the combination of a great ride quality and strong off-road capability, which gives you a plush-on-pavement, ready-for-rough-terrain balance. The trade-off is value: it is described as poor value for money, and the price tag reflects toughness, refinement, and reputation more than bargain pricing.

Good and great deals account for 25% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Land Cruiser is presented as a proven, long-running design with only minor cosmetic, mechanical, and technology updates, which supports the sense that you’re buying something familiar and well sorted. Its performance setup also reinforces that impression: a 5.7-liter V8, eight-speed automatic, and full-time 4WD are all described as proven hardware. Toyota also includes a maintenance perk on the vehicle, with the first scheduled maintenance visit on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about novelty and more about paying a premium for an older design that may not feel modern in every area.

What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 75% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on condition, maintenance history, and signs of hard use, especially if the SUV was used for towing or off-road travel. Pay close attention to how the cabin, electronics, and bodywork have held up, since this is a high-priced vehicle that can be expensive to refresh.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Heritage Edition adds blackened trim, a Heritage Edition grille with black inserts and a darkened chrome surround, darkened-chrome mirrors, 18-inch bronze BBS wheels, a heritage badge, and a Yakima Mega Warrior roof rack. It is a two-row, five-passenger setup, while the standard edition gets a third row for eight-passenger seating.
• Powertrain: You get a 5.7-liter V8 with direct injection and variable valve timing, rated at 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic and full-time 4WD. It runs on regular unleaded gas and is tuned for capability as much as pavement comfort.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense P includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning with sway-warning system, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. The Land Cruiser also includes Toyota’s Star Safety System, plus 10 airbags, parking assist sonar, hill start assist, and Safety Connect.
• Infotainment: The cabin uses a 9-inch touchscreen with Toyota Premium Audio and Integrated Navigation, 14 JBL speakers, Bluetooth, SiriusXM, USB, HD Radio, Siri Eyes Free, and a CD player. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not included.
• Fuel efficiency: EPA estimates are 13 mpg city, 17 mpg highway, and 14 mpg combined.

Which 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser trim should I buy?

The 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser is offered in 2 trim levels: Land Cruiser and Heritage Edition.

Here's the short version:

• Land Cruiser: This is the better-value choice if you want the standard three-row layout and the core Land Cruiser experience without paying extra for appearance-focused upgrades. It also gets the available Rear Seat Entertainment Package, which is not offered on the Heritage Edition.
• Heritage Edition: This is the more distinctive pick if you want the blacked-out exterior details, bronze wheels, roof rack, and two-row, five-passenger layout. It suits you best if you value the special-edition look and can live without the third row.

Toyota Safety Sense P is standard, so you get the same core driver-assistance suite regardless of trim.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you should shop carefully and compare listings before moving quickly.

• Deal availability: 25% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 60 listings available.
• Clean inventory: 75% of listings are accident-free.

Is the 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser safe?

The 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser has not been crash-tested by NHTSA or IIHS, so there are no independent crash ratings to cite.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense P is standard and includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning with sway-warning system, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. The Land Cruiser also comes with Toyota’s Star Safety System, 10 airbags, active headrests, active seatbelt pretensioning, LATCH connections, trailer sway control, tire-pressure monitoring, front and rear parking assist sonar, hill start assist, and Safety Connect.

Should I buy a 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2020 if:

• 25% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 75% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the familiar Land Cruiser formula with minor cosmetic, mechanical, and technology updates.

Consider the 2021 if:

• It adds a final-model-year sendoff before the Land Cruiser leaves the U.S. market.

The bottom line: If you want the classic Land Cruiser formula and can accept the premium pricing, the 2020 is the straightforward choice. If you’re price-sensitive, shop the 2020 carefully and compare it against other large SUVs before committing.
