Toyota Land Cruiser Prado facelift unveiled

toyota-land-cruiser-prado-facelift-1

The supposedly leaked pics of the facelifted 150-series Toyota Land Cruiser Prado we showed you last week has turned out to be legit all right – a treasure trove of info and images of the updated baby Land Cruiser has come to light, so here are the details.

Besides a bigger grille and new teardrop-shaped headlamps with LED DRLs, the refreshed Toyota Land Cruiser Prado gets new fog lamps, revised tail lamps, new 17- and 18-inch wheel designs and a new number plate surround with larger chrome trim. Inside, the instrument cluster gets Optitron gauges and a 4.2-inch colour TFT display, while a new centre stack gets updated audio controls.

Cabin ambience has been taken up a notch by enhanced trim (including piano black, aluminium and wood grain finishes), new seat designs and fabrics for the second and third rows, as well as new colour schemes.

A 4.2-inch screen displays a new angle gauge, traction control operation at each wheel and differential lock operation screens amongst others, while a new dial controls the five-mode Multi-terrain Select and five-step Crawl Control systems.

Both the standard suspension and optional electronically-controlled Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) have been tweaked to offer better stability and comfort on-road. A Rear Cross Traffic Alert system joins the extensive suite of safety kit that includes Pre-Crash Safety, Blind Spot Monitor, Multi-terrain ABS and Active Traction Control.

The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado facelift can be had in three- and five-door versions. The five-door is powered by either a 282 hp/385 Nm 4.0 litre petrol V6 (five-speed auto only) or a 190 hp/420 Nm turbocharged 3.0 litre diesel four-cylinder engine (six-speed manual or five-speed auto), while the three-door only comes with the latter. You can shop for the pre-facelift Prado on oto.my

The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado’s Stateside sister – the Lexus GX – has also received a facelift. This one hides a huge V8 behind its new spindle grille.

    Terrible exterior, but the super tough ladder frame is what count. Indestructible Toyota has gone to another level!

    Looks like the Fukushima incident not only messed up the environment, but also the brains of the car designers in Japan…

    • Nonetheless, I know you’ll give support right! Go buy already, you don’t need A-Class when you have an indestructible car.

    You guys dunno ar? Toyota now cut cost by hiring mahindra designer part time to design their cars.
    Just when you thought this prado is ugly, the next one will surprise you even more.
