Toyota Land Cruiser Prado

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Description :

Toyota offered the smaller and newer of the two Land Cruisers a genuine off-roader, with body-on-frame construction, switchable four-wheel drive and a pair of huge engines. There an excellent diesel on its way, but for now, Toyota has launched only a massive 3.0-litre D4 diesel, which has a fearsome 173PS of maximum power at 3400rpm with 410Nm of maximum torque. It has been one of the most sought after status symbols coveted by politicians, film stars, industrialists and celebrities in India for a long time, so the brand is not exactly unknown. The big, toothy grille, subtle-but-evident body armour and the sheer volume of the car are enough to scare off all other road users. The downside is that the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado feels cumbersome through traffic and nerve-racking to park, accentuated by the wide turning circle. The huge dashboard, large Multiple Information Display and chunky fittings feel very reassuring, and the seats are wide and comfortable.

Also, very little noise filters through, and its very well kitted, with a full range of airbags, dual-zone climate control and heated, powered seats. Its 173PS max power coming in at 5200rpm and 410Nm of max torque at 3800rpm flexing muscle through every bulge, the Prado is the largest and most powerful SUV in the country. Acceleration is sharp, nothing short of a tuned performance car, this in spite of the 5-speed auto box with all time four-wheel drive with transfer modes. There is barely any shift lag associated with this automatic making this slush box one of the smoothest trannies we have come across. However driving the Toyota Prado is a most intimidating experience at first. Toyota Land Cruiser Prado remains stable, executing superb control and traction especially at higher speeds. Even the suspension package which employs electronic controlled air suspension all rounds with conventional double wishbone at the front and a 4-link type suspension with lateral rod at the rear ensures that the vehicle remains unfluttered over bad surfaces while it keeps you luxuriating in the superior ride.
