The new model of Toyota Prado, supposed to launch in 2023, has been pushed to April 2024. According to international media, most of the details about the new Prado remain unchanged, including a transition to a version of the 300 Series’ TNGA-frame platform, but a report from Japanese media suggested a new petrol engine.
Powertrain
The same report from Magazine X also claimed that the company would change the car’s official name from Land Cruiser Prado to Land Cruiser 250 Series in Japan. Furthermore, the Japanese market will get a new 2.4-liter turbo-petrol from Lexus NX and Toyota Kluger, replacing the 2.7-liter 2TR-FE naturally aspirated petrol 4-cylinder engine.
Meanwhile, the famous 2.8-liter turbo diesel 4-cylinder engine will reportedly remain in the market, although some reports suggested that the company would install two electric motors to increase horsepower and torque, and fuel economy.
Renderings of Toyota Prado 2024
Amid all this, the global car blog, WhichCar?, has rendered the 2024 Prado. It is important to note that the new model has not been spied in testing in any sort, as the company keeps it completely under the wraps. Here are the unofficial renderings of the car:
Expected Exterior & Interior Changes
The renderings are based on new car models, i.e., the 300 Series, mixed with the Prado design history and a rendering by the Japanese auto blog, BestCarWeb. The Japanese blog is famous for being fairly close in its renders, citing inside sources.
The reports have suggested that the new Prado will be more aggressive and rugged while not losing its elegance. The interior is expected to be more modern with new tech features, including an infotainment screen and connectivity features. Meanwhile, the overall size will mostly stay the same, meaning a couple of comfortable rows of seats and a pretty tight third row.
