The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is a super luxury SUV that measures 4,780 mm in length, 1,885 mm in width and 1,880 mm in height. Using the Ride Height Control, the Land Cruiser Prado’s height can be increased or decreased to make the ride more comfortable and stable over any given terrain. The wheelbase of 2,790 mm helps in accommodating six adults comfortably. Ingress/Egress is also easy due to the wide opening doors, although, getting into the third row for a tall person would be cumbersome. The Parking Assist system is a good driver aid when parking this rather large SUV in tight spots.
Inside the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, six adults can seat comfortably and the 3 zone climate control can be used for an occupant’s personal temperature preference. The touchscreen infotainment system with steering mounted controls, electronically adjustable front seats as well as a steering wheel, cup holders for every row and a cooled front armrest storage add to the convenience of the occupants in the car. The Land Cruiser Prado also has a wood/black interior theme for an upmarket feel and the build quality is also top notch.
The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is powered by the 2,982 cc D 4D 4 cylinder diesel engine that generates 170 hp power at 3,400 rpm and 410Nm torque from 1,600 rpm to 2,800 rpm. According to the figures, power delivery is linear and there is ample torque available throughout the rev band for an engaging drive.
The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado’s engine is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. This is the only option available for the vehicle in India and it is a decent unit wherein shift shocks are negligible. The short ratios for the first three gears also accentuate its off-roading credentials.
In terms of safety, the Land Cruiser Prado has ABS with EBD, front dual, driver knee, driver & passenger side and curtain airbags, Vehicle Stability Control as well as Whiplash Injury Lessening Headrests for the front seats as standard to enhance the safety quotient.
The ARAI certified mileage of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is 11 km/l which is acceptable for an SUV this size
