Toyota Land Cruiser Prado

The Interiors of the Prado are also very impressive in terms of space available. There is just so much space for all passengers and even more for luggage. The dashboard looks very sporty and there are lots of buttons and a nice big screen. The instrument cluster is also quite big and can easily be read. The steering wheel also is very nice and gives a sportier feel the overall look. The seats are plush and the interior layout is nice. Ergonomically the Land Cruiser Prado is setup very well.

The Land Cruiser Prado comes with the same 2982cc diesel engine found in the Fortuner, but it has been tuned to provide more power with 171bhp and 410Nm of torque. This engine is then mated to a 5-speed automatic gearbox. The engine is built very well and has been tuned to perfection.

The car performs very well on all kinds of terrain. On the road it is very good in terms of acceleration and engine refinement and smoothness. The throttle responds very well and the steering is direct, while the suspension offers fantastic ride quality. When off-road the car comes to life even more and you will enjoy its sportiness very well. The suspension is great also off the road and the tyres do the job well. The Prado is the perfect SUV for the best of both worlds – on tarmac and on dirt – and it is also a good city car for daily use as well.

You can expect a fuel efficiency of 13kmpl.

Both versions of the Land Cruiser feature power steering with variable speed assist, power windows, leather interiors, cooling box, automatic climate control, smart entry with start/stop, multi information display, audio player with 6CD changer and Bluetooth and steering mounted control, and cruise control.

Safety features include Downhill Assist, Hill-Start Assist, Stability control, Adaptive traction control, ABS with EBD and Brake assist, and 7 airbags, as well as parking assist systems and reverse camera.

The Land Cruiser Prado is one of the toughest vehicles built today. It is made of sturdy and well-crafted components. The chassis and frame has been designed very well, the suspension setup uses the best systems, the interiors use high quality components and then the engine has been beautifully engineered. It’ a very reliable machine and can be taken anywhere. There might be some problems with servicing since components might not always be available and they will also likely be very expensive.

The Prado with its 3.0 litre engine variant has got great value for your money, even though it carries a high price tag.

This is the most reliable SUV in its segment and also the most capable and well-deserving of being called an SUV.
