Are you ready to experience the new Prado?

The new 2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado (250 Series) is set to hit the market later in 2024, but it comes with a price increase. Get ready to shell out more cash for this upgraded version of the popular SUV. Here’s what you need to know:

Toyota Australia has announced the pricing for the 2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado, and it’s not exactly budget-friendly. The base GX model starts at $72,500, which is a $9,670 increase compared to its predecessor, the 150 Series. But that’s just the beginning of the price hikes.

The GXL model will now set you back $79,990, a $10,460 increase. The VX model starts at $87,400, up by $10,552. And if you want to go all out with the Kakadu, be prepared to pay $99,990, which is $12,522 more than before.

But the range doesn’t stop there. Toyota is also bringing back the Altitude model, which slots between the VX and Kakadu. It comes with a price tag of $92,700.

One thing that remains the same across all variants is the engine. The 2025 Prado is powered by a 2.8L turbo-diesel engine, just like its predecessor. However, it now comes with a 48V mild-hybrid system. This system doesn’t add any extra power, but it does help improve efficiency and reduce strain on the engine.

In terms of drivetrain, the new Prado gets an upgraded eight-speed automatic transmission, compared to the previous model’s six-speed. It also features low-range gearing and a full-time all-wheel drive system.

While fuel economy figures are yet to be confirmed by Toyota, the 2025 LandCruiser Prado is expected to offer better efficiency thanks to the hybrid system.

Safety is a top priority in the new Prado. Although it has not yet received an official safety rating, it comes with a range of advanced safety features. These include nine airbags, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane trace assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a 360-degree camera. Higher trim levels such as the VX, Altitude, and Kakadu also come with additional safety features like tyre pressure monitoring.

When it comes to standard features, there are differences across the various models. The base GX model comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Moving up to the GXL adds a seven-seat capacity, rear privacy glass, wireless charging, and more. The VX offers even more luxury with leather-accented seats, a refrigerated center console, and a 14-speaker JBL sound system. And if you want the ultimate in luxury, the Kakadu has you covered with features like a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated rear seats, and a head-up display.

Toyota offers a range of paint colors for the new Prado, including premium options. You can choose from eight different colors, with two-tone finishes available on the Altitude model for an extra cost.
