Bold, elegant, and thought-provoking, Prado is the perfect vehicle for anyone thinking all-terrain.

Complete with Driver Assist Technology, now is definitely the time to Think Prado.
Interior
Cruise Control
Put the pleasure back into long road trips with Cruise Control. Standard on GXL, VX and Grande (Optional on Prado Standard and GX), Prado’s Cruise Control takes the worry out of sticking to the speed limit. Set, forget, and enjoy the ride!
Exterior
Understated yet muscular
With its LandCruiser heritage, Prado doesn’t need to boast. It has long since established itself as a vehicle perfectly suited to country tracks and multi-lane motorways, ski-fields and muddy creek beds. Its design is simple and functional, yet conveys its authority and commands respect. All models (except Prado Standard) feature large solid vertical grill, distinctive side steps, body coloured bumpers and door handles, chrome mirrors, 265/65 R17 tyres, and front and rear mudflaps.*
*Features vary with model.
Safety
Advanced ABS Option*
With Prado's advanced AB-i (Active Braking with intelligence) you can brake with confidence on any surface. That’s because Prado's AB-i goes further than conventional ABS systems. It not only adjusts hydraulic braking pressure to match wheel speed so you can brake quickly without skidding, it also dynamically distributes braking force based on vehicle load (EBD – Electronic Brake-Force Distribution) and helps you apply optimum braking force during an emergency stop (BA – Brake Assist).
* Standard on GXL, VX and Grande. Optional on Prado Standard and GX.
Mechanical
4.0L V6 VVT-i engine* or 3.0L Turbo Diesel
Choose from two hi-tech engines, and know you're choosing power and LandCruiser reliability every time. The 4.0L V6* (complete with VVT-i Variable Valve Timing with intelligence for consistent power through the rev range) delivers an incredible 179kW of power and 376Nm of torque while the economical 3.0L turbo diesel boasts 127kW of power and 410Nm torque.
* Not available on Prado Standard.
