Unfortunately I don’t think a hybrid diesel is a good idea as diesel engines already have enough problems with their diesel particulate filters especially when used for short trips and not properly loaded for lengthy time periods. A hybrid would prevent these ideal use conditions which is probably why Toyota never puts diesel engines in hybrid vehicles . I would consider a hybrid system like they have on the new Nissan Xtrail even though this type of hybrid cannot be as efficient as the Toyota system I prefer it as it eliminates the need for a gearbox though in the case of a proper off road vehicle like the a Prado you would probably still need a two speed gear box to to serve as a high/low range option.

wow it's looks beautiful i also noticed the design is slightly different from the larger land cruiser 300 but it's a very good choice ☺️💖😊

I believe that the Hybrid system combines power from the Engine and the Battery at the wheels' electric motors, so possibly there is more power and torque than a hypothetical V6 TD? (at least for a short while until the battery charges again)

Great review, when you described the round head lights as the land rover head lights, I think you missed the connection to the 60 series round head lights and the square as 80 series head lights. I think Toyota have gone down the modern retro path with this two, so easy to see especially the with the 2 tone paint.

There is a twin turbo petrol V6 version of the Prado 250 series in the form of Lexus GX which is available in certain markets. The V6 is a detuned version of the one on the LC300/LX600. For market segmentation, they kept the higher performing engine on the Lexus version (GX) and put in a turbo 4 banger hybrid on the Toyota version (Land Cruiser Prado).

GREAT! BUT please bring back the horizontally-split rear tail-gate, so practical, so convenient, so sensible.

Looks good but Toyota makes you upgrade to the 300 series for the V6 diesel.

Very excited to see one in real life, the rectangular headlight version looks great on the outside and l like the dash that has a traditional gauge speedometer, which is easier to glance at to know your speed. Also would love to see HUD. Hope it has the same or better range than the current duel tank version. My theory on why they have mild hybrid diesel is this, since the wheel base is the same as the 300 series, it may have a very similar duel tank setup between the front and back wheels which is smaller than the duel tank capacity of the current Prado, but by having mild hybrid technology this could be to compensate for not having the same capacity tank size by ensuring the same or longer range through better fuel consumption. Also l absolutely hate the plastic shroud that goes from the centre console to floor, that they have placed between the centre console and the middle of the second row seat. This piece of plastic is going to get scuffed and scratched like crazy and is going to look very second hand in a very short period of time. This should have been carpeted Toyota, seriously. Also did they use aluminium panels to reduce weight? Would like see wheels with black and silver machine finished highlights instead of just all blacked or greyed out.

The current prado doesn't have a dual tank set up, it only has one tank as the spare wheel is underneath. I know as I have the current version, bought new last year. This new one also has the spare wheel underneath and from the specs I have been able to find the tank is the same 89 litres as the current prado. At least for the diesel anyway.

@Mark.AUS.

9 ай бұрын

@Car-crazy In Australia, the current Prado can have from factory the spare wheel mounted on the tailgate or mounted underneath the vehicle. When mounted on the tailgate the vehicle is fitted with an additional fuel tank. So having dual tanks provides a total of 150 litres.

I’m currently in a 2021 fortuner, I go through cars on lease every 3 years. I’d order one of these with a nice petrol engine, I think the diesel only Australia market is coming to an end.

Come on, the updated 2.8 TD should do ok, especially with mild-hybridization. And that 2.4 turbo petrol in the US will be good for 9 mpg approximately in real conditions ^^

Do we know the release date for the Australian version? I ordered my Kakadu in April this year and I believe the current model is only being built until October before they retool for the new model. I dare say I’ll be getting this new model as the waiting was 14 months when I placed my deposit.

@@lordchadwickedwardsiii4093 arguably not, because smaller engines tend to use alot more fuel under high load, as is evident by the new Mazda CX-60, it comes with a mild hybrid, turbo charged 3,3L 6Cylinder Diesel and only consumes around 5,5L/100km in actual real world testing. which is alot less fuel than similarily sized SUVs with 2L engines with otherwise similar properties like an Audi Q5 or VW Tuareg, BMW X3 and so forth. Also, bigger sized engines tend to be stressed less and thus live longer, since they don´t reach their performance and thermal limits as fast and hard as smaller engines. A good example of this is also the current Gen VW T6/6.1 Bus, which can come with a 200+ HP 2L Turbo Diesel for a big, very heavy vehicle with 4WD and everything, the engine is notorious for failing early here in germany because it´s just always operating at it´s limits. The older T4 and T5 Models with 2,5L TDIs didn´t have that problem.

@@heinzketchup4558 bro have you ever used the new toyota 2.8 turbo diesel ever? No I did not talk about the micro european diesel engines with bad fuel efficiency.

I would argue the circular headlights are more reminiscent of older 40, 60 and 75 series not so much Defender

Love it except the engens!!

It looks soooo good. Hopefully the new Hilux follows the same design.

300 for towing

First time in the US 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser like AU new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado❤😊

This thing is awesome!

Can’t wait for the new Fortuner to be based on the TNGA-F platform now, all this while the Fortuner has been always ignored in the Aussie market considering the Prado was always a better option. Eagerly waiting for the 165kw and 550Nm with mild-hybrid tech Fortuner…

@@aimanfitri0iv not similar mate, exactly same. Every Body On Frame Toyota will be based on the TNGA-F starting with the Tundra and LC300, it’s cheaper for the company to do this rather than manage more than 2 platforms. Like the current IMV platform of the Hilux and Fortuner will be scrapped. So everything in between from the Hilux/Fortuner to the Lexus LX, will be based on the same TNGA-F platform.

@@sanchaynarain3532I actually don’t think we’ll get a new fortuner. Too similar to Prado now. The only difference before was the different platform and larger size of Prado. This looks like it’s more compact than the old Prado - so I doubt we’ll get a fortuner - especially given how poorly it sold here

⁠@@tim9241This is bigger than the old Prado actually. It has the same wheelbase as the LC300, just a little more narrow width and slightly shorter overall length

What is the fuel consumption on the hybrid version

Like. Especially the blue with white top

Relly disappointed that we don't get the 2.4 turbo hybrid, I really hope the new Hilux will have the 2.4 turbo hybrid

The block lamp version looks more beautiful and sportier than LC 300 GR S
