Performance
Pedigree Meets Power
The new Land Cruiser Prado features a bespoke, re-tuned version of Toyota’s acclaimed 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV turbodiesel engine; an incredibly powerful unit. The Land Cruiser Prado is also equipped with a full-time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system that provides high-traction off-road performance in combination with confidence-inspiring tarmac cruising.
Every aspect of the new Land Cruiser Prado has been considered and crafted to give you a Truly Masterful ride.
Design
Master Any Terrain in Style
Inspired by the heritage of generations of Land Cruisers, while incorporating the latest in technology, the Land Cruiser Prado is Truly Masterful. The Land Cruiser Prado features a Toyota-lettered grille and slimline three-bulb LED headlamp unit. A bold, squared-off silhouette and bonnet featuring a scooped-out centre prioritises functionality by making it easier to recognise the vehicle’s dimensions and aids in road surface visibility. Moving to the rear, it has been similarly updated to incorporate visual elements which align with the legacy design direction, but with a healthy dash of simple modernity and component efficiency.
The Land Cruiser Prado has been designed to look masterful wherever you choose to take it.
Interior
On-road or Off-road – Comfort Assured
The all-new Land Cruiser Prado maximises cabin space to make it the ideal seven-seater SUV. Visual support when driving off-road is provided by upgrades to the Multi-Terrain Monitor and Multi-Terrain Select system*. Using high-resolution cameras – with integrated cleaner and a dashboard display – the monitor gives the driver a clear view of the area immediately around and beneath the vehicle. This is all made possible by the centrally mounted 12,3-inch* touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
*Available on selected models
Comfort is extended throughout the Land Cruiser Prado with a fully leather-upholstered cabin*, driver and passenger seat heating*, a Heads-Up Display*, a heated steering wheel*, digital rear-view mirror*, power folding seats*, power back door and a wireless charging station. You’re sure to feel comfortable and in control inside the Land Cruiser Prado no matter how wild the conditions are outside.
*Available on selected models
Convenience
Designed with Convenience in Mind
The spare wheel carrier has been moved to below the vehicle for easier access. This allows the rear window glass to double as a hatch for more accessibility.
Capability
Form Follows Function
The Land Cruiser Prado exhibits a purposeful stance courtesy of the lowered beltline and muscular trapezoidal wheel arches. Form follows function with the beltline facilitating deeper side windows, while the square shape of the wheel arches assists with mud drainage.
No matter what the terrain throws at you, Multi-Terrain Select (MTS)* means the Prado is ready to adapt to its conditions at just the flip of a switch. Choose between Rock; Rock and Dirt; Mogul; Loose Rock; and Mud and Sand settings, and handle unpredictability with maximum efficiency. As conditions change, the Multi-Terrain Monitor* is there to help you confirm your outdoor surroundings and check blind spots with front, side and rear cameras. The Multi-Terrain Monitor is automatically displayed on the navigation display in accordance with your chosen MTS mode.
*Available on selected models
