Toyota has upgraded its top-selling LandCruiser Prado range, refreshing the styling while adding advanced active-safety technology to GX and GXL automatic models, and increasing value for money across the board.
Prado's new exterior contributes to added safety, with the bonnet sculptured in the centre to enhance downward visibility and the fenders re-profiled to help drivers more easily locate the vehicle extremities.
Advanced safety features** - now standard equipment on all LandCruiser Prado auto models - are pre-collision safety system (PCS) with autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian detection, active cruise control (ACC), lane departure alert and auto high beam. PCS and ACC were previously exclusive to the Kakadu.
The new LandCruiser Prado range is exclusively 2.8-litre turbo-diesel powered
Inside, LandCruiser Prado has a redesigned dashboard, instrument binnacle and switchgear. The revised centre console incorporates a flush-surface air-conditioning control panel and has a low profile at the top for a sleeker appearance and improved forward visibility.
The previous 4.0-litre V6 petrol engine is being discontinued in Australia due to overwhelming consumer preference for the turbo-diesel engine
owing capacity# for all automatic models has been increased by 500kg to 3000kg and a rear differential lock has been added to auto GXL and VX grades.
