There's no way I would pay that much for that interior.

It looks worse than the RAV4. Maybe it's the cheapest Australian interior.

The interior looks fine and functional to me and glad to see no big dial.

Unfortunate theres no round headlights! That being said, it does look very promising none the less. Very J80 esque.
On the split tailgate. I say zero chance. The J300 also has that line which implies a split tailgate but its just a regular one. Someone else pointed out that in the leaked pic where it says "LAN.." between the rear window and the rest of the tailgate is just where the GX550's light bar would normally go. I'm inclined to agree.

I was just looking at pictures again and I’d say it’s safe to say Toyota is pulling a GM here (Silverado/Sierra), at least from a body perspective. Whether or not the drivetrain is shared is still TBD.
I was looking at the global site TexasFunRunner shared earlier as well as the GX pictures and it looks like a different front end and modified rear are the only exterior differences. Like you said, where the Land Cruiser badging is is likely a direct fit for the GX lightbar. The GX tail lights also appear to have a plastic filler piece below them that matches the shape of the new Land Cruiser tail lights.

They chose a red 1988 FJ62 wagon in the background as the heritage vehicle, post facelift when the headlights went from single round to double rectangle.

It is a shame not to see the round headlights.
Here's-hoping that they might be available as an option; there's plenty of space for them given the giant-black-rectangle underneath the lights in the teaser image above.

Looking at the back, what do you think the badge in the lower right says? On the GX it says GX 550 but on the LC, the text is in a different spot. So I'm assuming that is where the model variation would go. V4, V6, TRD, iForce, MAX, SE, 4x4, TRAIL, PRO, GR, V8, NO3004U, #AUTOPIAN, V12, XLE, PRIME, EV, HE, SR5, FJ, TURBO, DIESEL, GIGAWATTS, NOTAHILNDR...
Endless possibilities

Could it be that the badge on the back of the LC250 is the same as the Tacoma iForceMax badge? Also, at the far right side of the badge, it appears to be the bold chrome, MAX word.
Looking at the left side of the blue LC250 tailgate badge, it seems to be circular, the same as we see on the red Tacoma tailgate, blue dot at the beginning of the iForceMax badge?

Hard to tell the exact blue color, but maybe cavalry blue or heritage blue. That excites me for the 4Runner getting that color for ‘25.

That's not Cavalry Blue unless the lighting is way out of whack.

Great detective work! I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right. Maybe the iForceMax is the top-level engine for this LC.

The iForce logo is possible, but the odd shape and color of the logo, to me, it looks more like the trailhunter compass logo.

I really hope there aren’t a bunch of lame trim levels for this Land Cruiser. There should just be Land Cruiser and Land Cruiser Premium trims that both come equally kitted out for off-road readiness, e.g. 4x4, rear locker, ATRAC, etc.. The base should come equipped like a 4Runner SR5 with cloth manual seats and the Premium includes Softex seats and additional electronics. Any additional off-road options like a front locker should be available on either trim. This would be my preference, but consumers love to spend extra for special trims and packages with big stickers and badges.
