These have been circulating online, supposedly leaked pics of the facelifted Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. There’s a shot of an actual car as well, so they should be legit. Also making its rounds are sketches of the Lexus GX, the Lexus version of the Prado sold in the US.
We’re talking about the fourth-gen Land Cruiser Prado, the 150 series model that debut in late 2009 (not to be confused with the bigger V8-powered Land Cruiser). Counting from then, it’s about time for a facelift.
The fourth-gen Prado’s vertical strips on the grille has been exaggerated for the facelift, which has quite a scary face to these eyes. The headlamp cluster drops down to match the enlarged grille, and LED DRLs fill that extension. Bold, for sure.
At the back, the tail lamp cluster is now inspired by the Jalur Gemilang and the shape of the area surrounding the license plate has been changed. As for the Lexus GX, it predictably sports the luxury brand’s new spindle grille, as seen on the rest of the range.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Look like some cheapo Chinese/Indian made SUV.
Typical childish toyota hater who vowed to himself to hate whatever toyota produces. Go back to riding your ‘kapchai’..
Typical blind toyota fan who vowed himself to love whatever toyota produces. See what you got yourself into?
It’s hideous, no doubt about it, but still I will still admit that it has a tried and tested reliable mechanical design. But just not the design.
This may come as a shock to you,but aesthetics are a matter of taste,not an indisputable fact.
“It’s hideous, no doubt about it, ” Oh,but there is plenty of “doubt”. It’s called other peoples subjective opinion.
bleh…. its not subjective opinion anymore,
if the majority thinks it is ugly, then its really ugly.
Mahindra alike… Hmmm ugly
well unfortunately this is what Toyota is doing these days. The front end looks really like some rip offs pirated cars from China… but wait look carefully, its the ever famous T badge on it!
OMG. did Toyota hired those faceless Chinese ‘designers’ for the FL?
1st it was that damn Innova… ok so some say the Innova is a low cost model for 3rd world countries for it is not sold in 1st world countries eg USA and Europe nor Japan itself…
Then what about this POS!? The Prado is sold in Japan and Europe… this POS wears a Europe licence plate. Honestly would any Europeans buy this over say, ML350 or BMW X5? Or the Kia Sorento/Hyundai Sante Fe??
FYI the Prado is a lux version of the Fortuner too (yes its also the Innova) That tough ladder frame chassis may be suitable for rock climbing duties, but on smooth paved road, this thing is a big POS… Ride quality is next to impossible. You will get tossed ard at every little nicks on the road. Handling will be frightening too
This is Toyota for you guys these days pple… Oh wait our Maserati bro will surely say this new Prado will be the best seller in the world. The Koreans will never beat Toyota no matter what they do. Toyota can use a mid 80s ladder frame chassis and mid 90s engines and still be able to beat the Koreans whose engine produces almost 50% more power at smaller capacity.
Because Toyota will have excellent resale value! :( @#$%^ TMD if I’m the used car dealer I wont touch this with a 10 ft pole
To be fair if you buy an offroader and only use it on perfectly smooth roads you’re an idiot. This thing is meant to go offroad it seems, that the chassis is meant for that is perfectly fine. If you want a road car… here’s a tip. BUY A FREAKING SEDAN OR MPV!
Or Mazda CX-9.
Looks ok… in Asia Japanese car is the best!
Please don’t insult china car. Coz even china car got better design than this piece of shit prado.
What a waste of time coming out with an ugly facelift that is both cheapskate in looks and technology. Enough is enough Toyota, stop insulting our intelligents. Better still, stop producing cheapskate vehicles all together. We know you can do better than this and it is time for you to start spending on producing new and pleasant looking vehicles. Cheers!
Thats an ugly piece of shit!
what happen toyota? looks so weird at all, no idea kah? haihhhh
They probably looked at the Mahindra and went Mmmmmmm….
That grille reminds me of one of those older Hyundais… when Hyundai didn’t have designers yet.

really hard for me to digest the design…
BMW X5 better
But X5 sui kwan wor
On one hand, they have Lexus which made some interesting looking cars lately, on the other, they have the big boss, making things that is just rotting throu every protective layer of my eyes.

How is the small-overlap crash test of Camry?
Which vehicles turned turtle most often?
Kia and Hyundai must have hit your Toyota sales pretty bad for you to keep bombarding them like you do… By the way, you can stop bull shitting about buying a Merc A-Class. Going to Merc showroom to see and touch the A-Class only is it? Just be contented and get hold of the A-Class brochure and maybe you can dream about owning one tonight in your dreams! Real poser!!!
Pardon him, he just mistakenly mistook a Vios as the A-Class. :)
Kimchi Koranda, Tucson can’t even sell more than 5% of the units sold by Toyota in theSUV range.
I would not even take these rotten cabbage in as trade in, coz its really hard to sell
Oh my.. why you say the Toyota Land Cruiser is a rotten cabbage?
If i’m an industrial designer at Toyota, i would be boring compare to Range rover…
How to compare with Range Rover when it so often sui kwan and kwai tai?
This car is not mean for bling bling on the city street,
put some aftermarket parts like ARB air locker on Prado diff and you can go extreme 4×4.
This is what Bane would look like if he ever turned into a car…
Simply speechless… i believe this model only can penetrate into India market, bacause it is similiar to Mahindra, TATA…
Thank you, I was trying to recall, it seems like a deja vu when I first saw the face.
tukar la logo tuh… taruk Mahindra
That Toyota is really bad, but Lexus is really not bad.
Gonna see this SUV on Sabah’s road sooner, LC 200 series, FJ cruiser, Prado…
Hmmm, nice front grill. Its like been inspire from some kind of alien vs predator movie. Good job Toyo….
What a crap..
Typicsl uncle ..any rubbish with toyota logo sure buy one I cant believe someone could say ok on this ugly bar riddle besar tak tentu arah that someone might use it to rammed a jail wall.
This 4×4 is a product theme should be Bandit on wheels..its soo ugly it scare little children or little man.
Toyota probably hired an a stylist from catapillar company or plastic basket company..fuglyyyy
never buy this even for the tukun…ugler than zombies
What an outrageous face!
Trying too hard to be unique but turned up fugly.
oh emm gee!! my all-time favourite Prado went to plactic surgery and found out the silicone just melt on the face.. why the handsome prado has become fugly? T_T
i really missed that handsome looking CKD prado. it’s wwwaaaayyyyyy better looking than the facelifted one oreven the pre-facelift one….
Please people, you are driving a fat ass hippo on the road
I’m a Toyota fan but I must admit, this look hideous… lucky for me i have an old land cruiser for myself… for daily driving and off-road purpose :)
It’s supposed to drive the fear of god into terrorists so who would otherwise be shooting at UN peacekeepers riding in these Land Cruisers. It’s a scary face indeed.
It’s the coolest looking SUV I’ve ever seen! How can you people say it looks ugly? WTF already! If I had the money to buy one I’d be in line with everyone else hoping to get one. Toyota is the only car company in the world who has never built an ugly car, truck or SUV ever! Rock on Toyota!
