The new Prado is powered by a 3.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that makes 173PS of power and 410Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Prado also gets crawl control (with five settings), Multi-Terrain Select, Multi-Terrain Monitor with four cameras and a panoramic view monitor that further enhances its off-road capabilities.

Standard safety features offered on the new Prado include seven airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, vehicle stability control (VSC), tyre pressure monitoring system and an angle and intrusion sensor.

The Prado facelift rivals the Mercedes-Benz GLS and the Land Rover Discovery, which are not only priced in the same ballpark as the Toyota but also offer incredible off-road capabilities.
