Toyota Land Cruiser Prado spotted in India for the first time

The Land Cruiser Prado is positioned below the Land Cruiser LC300 and competes with the Land Rover Defender.

The 2024 Land Cruiser Prado has been spotted in India. Videos circulating on the internet show the SUV being transported on a flatbed.

The latest iteration of the Land Cruiser Prado made its global debut in August 2023. It was initially introduced in the US market. It is positioned below the Land Cruiser LC300 in Toyota’s SUV lineup.

The new Prado adopts a new design philosophy featuring a more rugged and boxy styling. It has a large grille in the front with vertical slats, which suggests that this is the Prado VX variant. The grille is flanked by rectangular LED headlamps and there’s a chunky front bumper with integrated fog lamps. The rear end has a more conventional look, though.

The interior of the Land Cruiser Prado has a rugged and durable look. It has a large touchscreen in the centre and a chunky 3-spoke steering wheel. There are three rows of seats with AC vents for each of them.

The Land Cruiser Prado is powered by a 2.8-litre diesel mild-hybrid engine in select markets. This unit produces 201 BHP and 500 Nm and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Toyota also offers a 2.4-litre petrol hybrid powertrain on the Prado.
