Order books for the new-gen Toyota LandCruiser Prado will officially open for customers at the end of August, with the hotly anticipated off-roader still slated for a launch in Q4 of this year.
In anticipation of the launch, Toyota has also revealed the new Prado’s combined average fuel consumption is now 7.6L/100km, an improvement on the outgoing model’s 7.9L/100km. This 0.3L/100km change is largely thanks to the addition of V-Active technology – the same found on the 48V HiLux – across the entire new-gen Prado range.
The system – a combination of a 48-volt lithium-ion battery, DC/DC converter and 8.4kW/65Nm motor generator – works in step with the vehicle’s 150kW/500Nm 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine to provide improved driving dynamics and better fuel economy.

In effect, the motor generator will provide a bit more urgency when accelerating from a standing start. When decelerating, it will recoup energy and feed it back into the 48-volt battery. It’s mounted high enough in the engine bay so as to allow for 700mm of wading depth.
The new-gen Prado will also adopt AdBlue diesel exhaust fluid, which will be stored in a 17.4-litre tank.
Pricing was officially announced earlier this year, with the vehicle markedly more expensive across the range than its predecessor – the cheapest entry point is the GX, at $72,500 (+ $9670), with the line-up topping out with the Kakadu, at $99,990 (+ $12,432).

New to the line-up is an off-road-focused Altitude variant priced at $92,700 and sitting below the Kakadu on the model hierarchy. As a point of difference, the Altitude gets a stabiliser disconnect mechanism (SDM) function, for greater wheel articulation; a locking rear diff; and it will roll on 265/70R18 Toyo Open Country all-terrain tyres.
“Australian buyers have always appreciated the rugged off-road performance of the LandCruiser Prado, which has proved to be the perfect overlanding platform for customers who want to travel all over the country without breaking the bank,” Toyota Australia Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations, Sean Hanley, said.
“The new Altitude grade enhances the performance of the LandCruiser Prado, allowing customers to venture further off-road than ever before.
“Meanwhile, introducing V-Active technology brings welcome on-road improvements, with smoother powertrain operation that may also help reduce fuel bills,” Hanley added.
