2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado

Unlike its previous generations, the new Land Cruiser Prado bears a more retro-themed design, inspired by the older J60 models from the 1960s. The new Prado is underpinned by the GA-F platform, which is shared with the Land Cruiser LC300, and it also continues with the good old ladder-frame chassis setup. At 4925mm, the new Prado is marginally shorter than the Land Cruiser LC300. However, both cars share the same 2850mm wheelbase.

Toyota says this frame is 50% more rigid than before, and overall rigidity has gone up by 30%. It also comes with a stabilizer disconnect mechanism for the first time, which allows you to disconnect the front stabilizer bar depending on whether you're driving the car on the road or off-road. A full-time 4x4 with a limited-slip differential courtesy of Torsen is also present here.

Some other improvements have been made in terms of wheel articulation, the functionality of the multi-terrain modes, and the multi-terrain monitor. There are six terrain modes to choose from, and the multi-terrain monitor gives you the option of an 'underfloor view' for both the front and rear wheels, as well as a 'back underfloor view;, which shows you a magnified image of the area left around the rear wheels while reversing.

Available with petrol, diesel, and hybrid powertrains globally, Toyota is yet to confirm which one the India-spec model will receive under its hood. However, this is the first time that the Land Cruiser Prado receives a hybrid option globally.

In terms of features, the new Prado comes with a 12-inch touch screen infotainment setup, along with a modern twin-dial instrument cluster setup, an ADAS suite consisting of adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, a pre-collision system, cross-traffic alerts and so on.

We can expect an official announcement from Toyota in the coming months, with more clear details about the powertrains and other things.
