Toyota Australia has confirmed that it will equip its popular Prado SUV with an all-new 2.8 litre turbodiesel inline four from August, which, although smaller than the current 3.0 litre diesel, boasts 40Nm more torque and 3kW more power.
Peak outputs are 130kW and 450Nm for the automatic, while manual-equipped models have peak torque limited to 420Nm. Fuel economy has also improved to 7.9 l/100km for manuals (down from 8.8 l/100km), while autos drink an average of 8.0 l/100km.
With numbers like that, the 2016 Prado is bound to become the torque of the town.
