The Toyota Land Cruiser, a name synonymous with durability and off-road prowess, has launched its latest model, the Land Cruiser Prado. This new model brings significant improvements over its predecessor, further enhancing its position as a key model in Toyota’s strong line-up.
The TGS Land Cruiser Prado is powered by Toyota’s well renowned 1GD-FTV 2.8-litre turbodiesel engine coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers impressive responsiveness at low revs. The transmission ensures quick, decisive gear changes, contributing to a sophisticated driving experience.
The Land Cruiser Prado is designed to handle the toughest conditions. It employs a full-time 4WD system with TORSEN LSD on the center differential. Together these features provide an efficient off-road driving performance on rough roads, while the degree of freedom in front and rear driving torque distribution has been expanded to achieve even greater driving stability. The new model is the first in the Land Cruiser line-up to feature Electric Power Steering (EPS). The EPS reduces kickback during off-road driving, ensuring ease of handling whether on or off-road.
The new model also brings an array of new active and passive safety features, this includes additional side, knee and curtain air-bags, plus a more advanced traction control system featuring Toyota’s ATRAC off-road function.
The all-new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is a testament to Toyota’s commitment to quality, durability, reliability, and sustainability. With its improved fuel efficient powertrain, advanced features, and enhanced off-road capabilities, it stands as a worthy successor to its predecessors and a capable alternative to the Land Cruiser 76 5-door. Whether you’re navigating city streets or tackling the world’s harshest conditions, the Land Cruiser Prado is designed to reach your destination safely and securely and allowing you to focus on supplying aid relief to those in remote locations.
