The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is set to enter a new generation after significant anticipation, with an update timelines tracing back to mid-2023 when industry chatter pointed to a summer debut. The launch faced delays caused by a global component shortage that impacted production across the brand, but interest in the model remained high among enthusiasts and practical buyers alike.
The upcoming Prado continues to ride on the GA-F platform and preserves the rugged ladder frame that has defined its capability. Yet the engineering focus shifts toward better efficiency and lower environmental impact, aligning with the approach seen in the latest Land Cruiser 300 line. One of the expected powertrains is a hybrid option derived from a 2.8-liter diesel block. This hybrid configuration is anticipated to deliver fuel consumption in the vicinity of 6.7 liters per 100 kilometers, a notable improvement that resonates with Canada and the United States markets where efficiency and reliability are highly valued.
