The recently leaked images of the new Land Cruiser Prado showcase a large boxy SUV that exudes a vintage charm while incorporating modern features. The vehicle’s design boasts short overhangs and captivating vintage accents. While the overall profile bears resemblance to the new Lexus GX, Toyota has added its distinctive touch with details like the radiator grille and front LED signature. Notably, the new Prado lacks the stylish roof spoiler found in the Lexus GX, giving it a distinct identity.
Expected Affordability and Niche Appeal of the 2025 Prado
While specific pricing information for the 2025 Prado remains undisclosed, industry experts anticipate that this new model will come at a more affordable price point compared to its predecessor, which was discontinued in 2021. Toyota aims to position the Land Cruiser Prado as a niche product, catering to a specific segment of SUV enthusiasts.
Powerful Performance and Varied Trims
According to recent reports, the upcoming Prado is expected to be equipped with a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine, which is also found in the North American-spec Toyota Tacoma. The powertrain is likely to offer robust performance, further enhancing the Prado’s appeal.
The SUV will be available in two variants, with the more expensive option boasting TRD Pro-inspired off-road upgrades for those seeking adventurous expeditions. Pricing estimates suggest that the base model could start around Rs. 16 million, while higher trim levels may exceed Rs. 20 million.
