Over 11 years ago, the very well-known Japanese carmaker Toyota wowed the general motoring public by launching the FJ Cruiser. This unique SUV wasn’t just another mid-sized off-roader from Toyota but one that embraced retro-inspired styling lifted straight from the early 1970 versions – albeit in stylish and modern appearance. And now, the Japanese firm will pull out the Final Edition variant of the FJ Cruiser.
No, you didn’t misread the information. The move is aimed to commemorate the end of production of this quirky SUV. The Toyota FJ Cruiser Final Edition is unique due to its beige color scheme, which is seen immediately on the outside. And a high-gloss black coating is also added to some main places.
The Final Edition is capped off with new side step boards and 20-inch aluminum wheels. The shade of beige with some black highlights truly breaks up the sea of brown and gives FJ Cruiser owner the look and feel of a contemporary vehicle.
