Has the FJ Cruiser Been Discontinued?

The Toyota FJ Cruiser, known for its retro styling and off-road capability, was launched in 2006. While it enjoyed strong early sales and a loyal following, production has now ended in all markets.

End of Production

In the United States, Toyota discontinued the FJ Cruiser after the 2014 model year due to declining sales and changing market demand. In some overseas markets, including parts of the Middle East and Africa, production continued for few more years.

Final Global Availability

The last brand-new FJ Cruisers were built for the Middle East market, with production ending in late 2022. This marked the official end of global production for the model.

Why It Was Discontinued

Toyota ended FJ Cruiser production due to reduced demand, stricter emissions regulations, and a shift in consumer preference toward more practical SUVs and crossovers. The FJ Cruiser’s niche design, limited cargo space, and modest rear seat accessibility made it less appealing to the broader market.

Current Status

While no longer in production, the FJ Cruiser remains popular in the used market. Well-maintained examples hold their value and are sought after by collectors and off-road enthusiasts for their durability and unique design.
