Toyota Launches Redesigned ‘Land Cruiser Prado’
TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION (TMC) announces the launch in Japan today of the redesigned “Land Cruiser Prado”.
The new Land Cruiser Prado, a mid-size, authentic four-wheel drive vehicle, continues the tradition of the Land Cruiser brand that is esteemed in more than 170 countries and regions around the world. The fourth generation maintains the outstanding drivability, reliability and basic functionality of the earlier generations—even under the harshest driving conditions—while improving on the on-road and off-road performance that is the Prado’s claim to fame. Enhanced utility results in a vehicle that offers comfort and peace of mind—anytime and anywhere.
Specific improvements include a roomier cabin through increased space between the front and second-row seats, while enhancements to the time-tested full frame structure and higher body rigidity make the ride even more comfortable. In addition, the adoption of a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) allows for driving stability at city and highway speeds, and a “crawl control” feature enhances rough-road compatibility. Other off-road driver-support features include a Multi-terrain Select switch to control drive power and braking in line with the off-road environment and the world’s first1 Multi-terrain Monitor, which displays the road conditions around the vehicle taken by four onboard cameras.
