A production-spec TJ Cruiser will be unveiled at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show in October, according to rumors originating from a Japanese publication that spoke to someone with close ties to Toyota's dealer network. Here's what else to expect so far:
Production-Spec 2020 Toyota TJ Expectations
pre-orders begin December 2019
production in early 2020
based on the TNGA platform
2.0-liter, 1.8-liter hybrid and/or a 2.5-liter hybrid engine options
FWD and AWD drivetrain options
shorter length but taller than the CH-R
two rear sliding doors
versatile interior
and many more
Availability outside of Japan should happen, demand for vehicles like the TJ is growing.
I really wish this was coming to Canada. It’s the perfect dog sport vehicle. Believe it or not there’s a huge gap in the market for van/suv for dog sport enthusiasts. The TJ fits the bill. Fold flat seats, no carpet, sliding doors, awd.. on and on.
