2025 Toyota Landcruiser Prado: Is It Enough To Take Down The Ford Everest? | Drive.com.au

I like the colour, reminds me of 80 series marlin landcruiser.

[@craigice9635]

I like the look, even the colour, but that's it. I'll be keeping my real LandCruiser 76 thanks.

Toyota has many years to see what „best in class” is and they have missed the mark, yet the Toyota brand and reliability and its special place in Australia will still make it a winner. That’s despite some shortcomings like space in 2nd row (and third if you have that model, and Series 150 was better) and the lack of space in boot (the 48v battery should have been positioned elsewhere), volume control in weird spot, plasticky finish and slippery wireless charger space, lack of rear locker (compared to previous series)… and that’s just what I’ve observed when checking the Kakadu at a dealership

Except for the looks and updated technology the 150 outperforms this in every useable way

[@brendan3430]

That rear storage area is pathetic. Imagine the noise of the flimsy plastic storage box banging over every bump in the road. I was keen on one of these, but will be looking elsewhere.

😂 what's up, can't you cut some wood?

[@shaun1900]

The prado review I’ve been waiting for

[@richardzedman1160]

so its new and bigger and has less space inside makes sense

[@sydneyraj]

Everything is new including price except the engine. What if a new engine pops up next year?

[@nmvi226]

I don’t understand how you’d call that powertrain “pretty good” and not a massive step forward as if there’s even a step forward to talk about. Despite the new gearbox it’s a tad bit slower than the older 150 with the old six speed gearbox and now this weighs more about 200kgs and tows more from 3t to 3.5t. I don’t see anything good there, it’s already weaker and because it will have to haul even more weight expect even worse performance than the 150.

Looks good from outside but Toyota missed the mark for this version.

Interestingly there is already a third row remove solution in the aftermarket.

How on earth is a fine or a duty on emissions going to help the environment.

[@DavidAnderson-vt8iq]

These look good, but that beep on the tailgate would have to go. Pure pointless annoyance.

[@am1296]

Apparently can be changed to 1 beep

[@marklaurendet1861]

Have they teamed up with a third party for accessories and upgrades like Ford & ARB A few people I know are waiting to see. If they have not they will look else where, not being able to add accessories like to can with Ford and keep your warranty is a big deal for a lot of people. Be interesting to see how the towing market reacts as the fuel range advantage the old Prado had is now gone. . That double rear door has the potential for two sets of dust leaks. Being a current Prado owner I am dissapointed as no meaningfull upgrade path for me. The room in the back sort of points at their target market, unforunately does not look to be touring.

[@netsiteing]

Why does Toyota bother to vary the models so much between world markets?

[@nathansharma87]

Money

[@myeverythingworld8123]

Sorry but my opinion is that its one of the ugliest cars on the road is it brother with the Tasman
