Vehicle Overview Toyota's retro-styled FJ Cruiser SUV re-creates some of the 1958 FJ40's original charm. With seating for five passengers, the FJ competes with similar offroad themed SUVs, like the Nissan Xterra, Jeep Wrangler and Hummer H3.
New for 2009 The FJ gains a few safety features for 2009, including a roll-sensing feature linked with the side airbags, as well as active head restraints. There are also a few new exterior colors.
Exterior The FJ Cruiser sports boxy styling and a dirt-friendly interior. The front styling is a throwback to the original FJ40, as are the FJ Cruiser's white roof and wraparound rear-quarter windows. Other elements are not so faithful: A high beltline and short windows bear more resemblance to Hummer's current lineup than to the FJ40's tall cab.
Available offroad package with 16-inch wheels, which accommodate higher sidewalls and more cushioning from the tires
Interior A rectangular, truck-like dashboard incorporates a prominent square panel with stereo and climate controls. A compass, outside temperature display and vehicle pitch readouts are available in an optional gauge cluster that sits above the middle air vents. Door inserts and dashboard panels can be matched to the FJ Cruiser's exterior color.

Safety The FJ earned Good results in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's frontal-offset and side-impact crash tests. New for 2009 is a roll-sensing feature that works with the side-impact and side curtain airbags to deploy them in the event of a rollover. Active head restraints are also new; they move forward in a collision to restrict head movement.
