LAST MONTH, Toyota unveiled the 2010 Landcruiser Prado, dropping the covers with simultaneous reveals in Japan and at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Toyota has kept details of the Prado's off-road equipment and technology under its hat in the weeks since, but today the world 'number one' has released new information.

Promising improved driving dynamics both off and on-road, the new Prado is marginally bigger, more aerodynamic and more powerful than the model it replaces.

Toyota has enhanced the Prado's 4.0 litre V6 with the addition of its VVT-i variable valve timing system on both inlet and exhaust cams, bumping power output up by more than 10 percent. Torque is up, while fuel economy and emissions performance are also improved.

In addition, the Prado's 3.0 litre turbodiesel powerplant has undergone some subtle refinements for 2010, boasting a combined fuel economy figure under 9.0 l/100km.

The body is now 80mm longer, 10mm wider and 15mm lower. The lower ride height, in conjunction with a host of aerodynamic undertrays, helps reduce the Prado's drag coefficient from 0.37 to 0.35.

Body styling is heavily revised. The 2010 Prado features a new grille, new bumpers, new light clusters and new sheetmetal all around.

LED taillights are now a standard feature of the Prado, as are wing mirror-mounted LED indicators.

Suspension tunes have been revised for 2010 with claimed improvements in handling, stability and ride comfort, utilising a new Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) that automatically adjusts the front and rear anti-roll bars.

Designed for comfort on and off the road, KDSS provides enhanced stability during on-road driving while allowing longer suspension travel for tackling off-road trips.

The new Prado is fitted with Toyota’s CRAWL system, now a standard feature on the larger LandCruiser 200 Series.

Designed to assist drivers navigate tricky terrain, CRAWL is a ‘feet-off’ control system that operates in low-range and replaces Downhill Assist Control.

The system has been designed to minimise wheel spin and lock on rocky and sandy tracks, also making itself useful in escaping mud traps.

Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) is a brand new feature by Toyota, working as an off-road version of the condition settings available with many new high-end sportscars.

Incorporating Multi-Terrain ABS, the system offers a wide range of slip control, providing maximum traction for situations involving mud and sand, loose rocks, moguls and rocks.

Joining the MTS system, the Multi-Terrain Monitor displays images from all sides of the vehicle on the Prado's in-dash display.

Downhill Assist Control maintains speed and stability when descending slopes, and Hill-start Assist Control minimises roll-back when beginning an ascent up a steep incline.

Similar again to features available in newer sportscars, Toyota's Adaptive Variable Suspension lets the driver specify ride characteristics via three pre-tuned damper settings.

Seven airbags, stability control and traction control are to be offered as standard across the 2010 Prado range, however precise Australian specifications have yet to be revealed.

The 2010 Toyota Landcruiser Prado is slated to go on sale in November of this year, with pricing details to be revealed in the coming weeks.

  The 2010 Prado, now with added ugly. Seriously everytime Toyota updates their 4WD's they get bigger. How many do you need, you have the Landcruiser 200 series, the 110 series, the 70 series, Prado, Kluger and RAV4. I thought the Prado was supposed to be a mini-200 series, ie capable offroad, but by dropping the ride height and making it bigger, they are re-aiming it back to being a softroader, which is what the Kluger is!
• reply ” like !

  

  Godspeed says,

  As Tom said the Prado is meant to be an off-road medium-sized SUV, like Nissan's Pathfinder. The Kluger is a "soft-roader" medium-sized SUV and can be had with 2WD only.
  
  This is also reflected in the 2 cars' spec / equipment packs with the Prado being more utility / off-road focused with DAT stuff like hill descent control while the Kluger's features are more family oriented such as DVD screens and auto-closing tailgates etc.
  
  You're right that they do keep getting bigger though, but that's just like every other manufacturer's cars.

  With the advent and inevitable success of cars like the BMW X1 mini SUVs, and the RAV4 no longer being a "baby 4WD" Toyota and other manufacturers will probably release something akin to the original RAV's size in the near future as well to cater to that market.

  Yeah, like the others said, the Kluger is a softroader, while the Landcruiser 120 (Prado) is a offroad capable Medium Size 4wd Wagon.
  
  Godspeed, Toyota have urban cruiser in other markets which is even smaller then the RAV4.

  Seriously hope that the 2010 Prado has not compromised the touring range by putting in a floor folding third row of seats. Also happy to see that the spare has not been slung inder the tail - for the same reason.
  Anybody using a Prado for its intended purpose of long range remote bush touring will have range high on their selection criteria list (as I do). Congrats on getting the towing weight up to 3 t.

  Just how does a car company extracate those "brand tragics" out of their perfectly adequate 3 year old rigs? and what of the prancers prowling the school pickup?
  
  Simple, make the car bigger..bigger is better right? No.. Its ruined the essence of so many cars the 3 series BM, Mazda 6, Mini, Falcon & Commodore have grown so large their buyers are forced to downsize. I could go on.
  
  Whilst its true manufacturers tend to fill the gaps by slotting in smaller models generally those models lack the features that made the original segment fillers (say for instance a transfer case) popular and because of it turn a better profit.

  While I can appreciate the market dictates which Prado version we receive here in Australia e.g. long range tank, wheel remaining on the back tailgate. Why is it not possible to offer your other version as an option and thereby broadening your market: afterall you are producing the vehicle for other overseas markets e.g. wheel underneath, glass lifting in tailgate , smaller tank. This was the version I was hoping to purchase.
• reply ” like !

  

  Werner Toyota says,
  3 years ago

  The reason why it's not possible to have the overseas version is because the main purpose of the Prado is towing. Without the long range fuel tank and the full size wheel on the tailgate the 5 door could only tow 2000kg. So if your happy with that towing capacity and you want a lift up tailgate and not a large fuel tank your a Kluger buyer. Regards

  If towing capacity on 5dr is 3.0t, does this mean it also has 300kg max ball weight (10% of tow capacity) - unlike Pajero which only allows max 180kg ball weight with 3.0t tow weight.
  does 3.0t tow weight apply regardless of no of passengers - Pathfinder is 3.0t tow capacity minus the weight of the passengers etc

  This was the reply from Toyota:
  “Thank you for contacting Toyota Customer Experience Centre.
  
  With relation to your recent ash try enquiry, Toyota Motor Corporation Australia (TMCA) is gradually implementing standards to not encourage smoking.
  Your preferred Toyota Dealership have access to a National Parts Database and will be able to provide listing and pricing of accessories.
  Unfortunately as Toyota Dealerships are independently run and owned they do set their own pricing so we are unable to confirm. “
  
  I was told by the dealer that an ashtray can be supplied for $ 187.00 (one hundred eighty seven Australian Dollar).
  With all those new Prado’s out in the bush we can expect a rough bushfire season.

  We took ownership of our ex-demo GXL Prado last night... and I think it not only looks fine... but it drives like a dream! Best car we've ever had!! The largest too.... but the smallest turning circle!
  As far as all the ugly comments go... there is a whole lot worse out there! Out of curiosity... what 4WD *would* you buy if the 2010 is SOOOOO ugly???

  I agree! I was hesitant to buy this New 2010 Prado the first time I saw it in Website. The Design was really not that attractive as I was expecting for the much awaited Prado. The 2009 Prado looked much smarter and muscular and good looking design too. But honestly whe I went to a Toyota Showroom saw it closely and sat inside saw the interior from all angles, I liked it and made my mind to buy despite the fact that I was very reluctant to buy it when Ifirst the pictures. The 2010 Prado foes not look good at all in pictures, seeing is believing and I would say this new Prado is not photogenic, I agree it looks ugly in pictures. The interior is fantastic very good looking and spacious but light weight with less resistance to strong wind on high-ways. The Steering is big and soft, the Dash-board is beautiful and very smooth driving extremely soft and comfortable. The 2009 Prado on the other hand is a great design looks good and smart in pictures but remember I sat inside my friend's 2009 Prado and it is ugly from inside, the steering is ugly too and thin hard, the dash board looks very cheap some parts on dash-board like made in other Asian Countries. The other bad thing in 2009 Prado I felt was that it looks aerodynamic but you feel like you would fall forward from the driver seat, its really not comfortable. The bottom-line is that 2010 Prado is really great insid (nice inerior), on sides and front but has an ugly look in pictures. The only thing I did not like in my new Prado is that the Spare Tyre is under the tail and the back of the prado is also not good looking but other features as I described above are great. please go and check it yourselfwhat I have said about it. I forgot to tell about the Fuel Economy, it is really very good on gas, it is like you put gas in it and then forget it for sometime its really economical. The ride is really very comfortable. You feel like you are on top of all cars while driving in the city. The starting price for Tx 4 Cylinder Automatic, Power Windows in saudi Arabia is 28,000 US $.
