moving forward
Toyota Land Cruiser has an enviable reputation for reliability
and off-road agility that stretches back over 50 years.
Land Cruiser Prado is part of the next evolutionary phase that
harmonises on-road excellence with sophisticated drive train
technologies to give drivers maximum control in any driving
situation, on or off-road.
Both Prado models have a state of the art turbo diesel engine.
With a drive-by-wire throttle, variable-vane turbocharger and
common-rail fuel injection system the sophisticated turbo
diesel engine offers signifi cantly improved performance and
driveability. The 3.0 litre twin cam engine
produces 127kW of power and 410Nm of
torque from just 1600rpm. The diesel
fuel system also includes a fuel cooler
to maintain fuel viscosity and enhance
performance and an oxidation catalytic
converter to reduce emissions and meet
Euro IV emission standards.
Prado VX is also available with a silky-smooth 4.0 litre petrol
V6 24 valve quad cam engine producing 179kW of power and
376Nm of torque. This engine has variable valve timing that
assists in the effi cient and economic delivery of power.
The generous dimensions of Prado make for a large interior
and the long wheelbase ensures on-road ride comfort.

At Toyota, our commitment to quality is a way of life.
We know that nothing is so good that it can’t
be improved. That’s why we strive for constant
improvement in everything we do. This commitment
to continuous improvement, called ‘kaizen’, is
the guiding force behind Toyota Moving Forward.
Design, quality, safety, technology, performance
and sustainability are at the forefront of our thinking
as we search for better ways to create ideas and
vehicles that can help people get more out of life.
So as Toyota heads towards the future, there is
only one way we’re moving – forward.

Off-road driving adventures
can be done with greater
confi dence with the hi-tech
features found in Prado VX.
When starting up steep gradients
hill-start assist control (HAC)
carefully manages braking and
acceleration to reduce wheelspin.
Vehicles travelling on steep terrain
have best control when traction
is maintained at all times.
Downhill assist control (DAC)
keeps constant low speed to
maintain vehicle control by
preventing speed build-up
on steep terrain.
The strong, rigid chassis creates the ideal platform for both on and off-road travel.
Prado can travel far off the beaten track thanks to independent double wishbone front
suspension and a four-link rigid axle system at the rear ensuring the wheels stay fi rmly
planted. All models have a lockable Torsen type limited slip centre differential that helps
out when things get slippery underfoot. VX has a range of sophisticated technologies
that are constantly working in the background to assist when the going gets tough,
bringing greater levels of confi dence in the more severe conditions.
Prado has a high-integrity cabin and impact absorbing crumple zones that combine to
help protect occupants should an accident occur. Both models have four wheel disc
brakes supported by an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake-force
distribution (EBD) and brake assist (BA). Dual stage driver and passenger front airbags
are standard for both models, with side and front and rear curtain shield airbags on VX.
Because Prado will carry important cargo, including your family, a range of
comprehensive safety features have been built into both models.
Prado VX has four additional safety features that contribute to safer motoring and bring
greater comfort to all occupants. Vehicle stability control (VSC), active traction control
(A-TRC), hill-start assist control (HAC) and downhill assist control (DAC) are all standard
in the fully-featured VX model.

Active traction control provides excellent
performance in severe off-road conditions
(similar to having locked differentials).

to a corporate philosophy encapsulating continuous
improvement, respect for people and customer satisfaction
now known as the Toyota Way. The company has since grown

Toyota’s long-term goal is to achieve growth with zero
environmental impact and with appropriate social outcomes.

its sights set on vehicles that are safe, clean and more fuel
