2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado – Features, Pricing, and Specs!
Get ready to meet the new 2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado, a vehicle that combines luxury, power, and the latest in hybrid technology. But be prepared—this new model comes with a significant price increase.
Toyota Australia has revealed that the 250 Series Prado will cost up to $12,500 more than its predecessor when it goes on sale later in 2024. The starting price for the base GX model is now $72,500 before on-road costs, marking a $9670 rise from the outgoing 150 Series. This is the smallest price hike across the range. The Prado GXL will start from $79,990, an increase of $10,460. The VX model will be priced from $87,400, up by $10,552. The top-of-the-line Kakadu will begin at $99,990, a $12,522 jump. Additionally, the range is expanding with the reintroduction of the Prado Altitude, priced at $92,700, fitting between the VX and Kakadu models.
Despite the price hikes, the new Prado retains the familiar 2.8-litre, four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine, producing the same 150 kilowatts of power and 500 Newton-meters of torque. However, the engine now features 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance. This system doesn’t increase power but reduces strain on the engine’s ancillary functions by incorporating a motor generator, 48-volt battery, and DC/DC converter.
Another significant update is the new eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, an upgrade from the previous model’s six-speed. This new transmission includes low-range gearing and ensures power is delivered to all four wheels through a full-time all-wheel-drive system.
While on paper the engine appears similar to the previous model, the addition of the mild-hybrid system and the new transmission are key enhancements that set the 2025 Prado apart. Toyota has yet to release the fuel economy figures for the new model, but expectations are high given the improvements.
With these updates, the 2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado promises a blend of advanced technology and robust performance, albeit at a higher price point. Whether the enhancements justify the price increase will be a point of discussion among enthusiasts and potential buyers.
