2021 Toyota Land Cruiser exterior dimensions
The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser is very close to the average-sized SUV in its main exterior dimensions. Its 498cm body is only around 3cm longer than average, while its 200cm width excluding mirrors is approximately 4cm, or 2%, wider. At 195cm tall, it stands about 5cm, or 3%, above the class norm. Its 285cm wheelbase is around 5cm, or 2%, shorter than average. Length and width combine to create a footprint of approximately 10m², roughly 0.2m², or 2%, larger than the typical SUV, so no single exterior measurement differs from the class norm by more than 3%.

DriveSize footprint score
DriveSize footprint score compares this car's footprint with the average footprint for the same class.
A score near 100% means it is close to class average size. Lower scores mean it sits further from that average, either smaller or larger.

Fast facts
Fast facts
Its exterior dimensions are all nearly average
Length, width, height, wheelbase and footprint all sit within 3% of the typical SUV, giving the Land Cruiser broadly class-average proportions.
Only one regional space provides comfortable access
Seven of the eight standard parking spaces tested by DriveSize physically fit the Land Cruiser, but only USA/Canada leaves comfortable surrounding room to exit the car once parked.
Ground clearance is 4% above average
At 23.5cm, the Land Cruiser provides around 1cm more under-car room than the typical SUV.
The turning circle is almost exactly average
Its 11.8m turning circle is around 0.2m, or 1%, tighter than the SUV norm, a difference that is unlikely to be noticeable during full turns.

Cargo space & efficiency
2021 Toyota Land Cruiser cargo capacity and space efficiency
The Land Cruiser is configured to transport up to five people. Its 498cm length and 200cm width create a footprint of approximately 10m², around 2% larger than the average SUV. Its five-person capacity is therefore housed within exterior proportions that remain very close to the class norm, rather than an unusually compact or oversized body for an SUV.
Parking
Will the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser fit in a standard parking space?
Seven of the eight standard regional parking spaces tested by DriveSize can physically contain the Land Cruiser, but only USA/Canada provides comfortable surrounding room. Although its footprint is just 2% larger than the average SUV, its slightly wider body makes most of the remaining spaces restrictive. The United Kingdom space does not provide enough length to contain the car. The tightest results are in the European Union, India and Japan. China, Australia and the Middle East physically contain it, but leave limited room for getting in and out.
DriveSize parking fit score
DriveSize compares the car's width and length with typical parking-space sizes by region.
Vehicle dimensions are rounded up and available side or length clearance is rounded down.
Side clearance is based on body width excluding mirrors where available; real spaces can vary because of mirrors, walls, pillars, kerbs, bay markings, and nearby cars.
For an average USA / Canada space: body side clearance is 37.5 cm per side (excluding mirrors), and length clearance is 26 cm at each end.

Usability
2021 Toyota Land Cruiser usability & manoeuvrability
At 11.8m, the Land Cruiser's turning circle is around 0.2m, or 1%, tighter than the average SUV. Its turning requirement is therefore almost exactly typical for the class. Its 2,495kg kerb weight is approximately 48kg, or 2%, above average. Ground clearance measures 23.5cm, around 1cm, or 4%, above the SUV norm, providing a little more under-car room on rugged roads and sharp slopes.

DriveSize manoeuvrability score
DriveSize manoeuvrability score combines turning circle and footprint, with turning circle weighted more heavily.
Around 100% means in line with the class average; higher scores indicate better manoeuvrability relative to similar cars.

DriveSize overview: 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser
Its dimensions suggest that the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser may suit drivers who want a five-seat SUV whose exterior size, turning circle and weight remain close to the class averages. Its 4% additional ground clearance is the clearest difference compared to the SUV norm.
Regional parking space fit is the main compromise. The Land Cruiser physically fits into seven of the eight spaces tested by DriveSize, but only USA/Canada provides comfortable surrounding access and the typical United Kingdom space is too short to contain it.
To compare its ground clearance with a smaller-footprint SUV, look at the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
