Toyota has unveiled the 2024 Land Cruiser Prado, the fifth generation of this iconic SUV. This is the first ** Toyota Prado in 15 years, and the new generation model is known in Japan as the Landcruiser 250, which is based on the TNGA-F platform, which supports models such as the Landcruiser 300 series and the Lexus GX SUV as well as the Toyota Tundra and Toyota Tacoma.
At present, there are very few official and ** domestic information and information reports on the 2024 Land Cruiser Prado, so we have consulted and quoted the data and information reported by the Australian ** to interpret the 2024 Land Cruiser Prado (Land Cruiser Prado).
According to Australia**: The 2024 Land Cruiser Prado will be available in five model grades, including the familiar GX, GXL, VX and Kakadu models, as well as the return of the Altitude, which was last available as a special edition in 2017 but is now a permanent variant to add key off-road gear.

This technology powers auxiliary systems such as lights and air conditioning to reduce the load on the engine and reduce fuel consumption. The Prado will not be labeled as a hybrid (Toyota believes that "the engine and electric motor cannot drive the vehicle together or independently").
Despite the mild hybrid powertrain, the Prado may be less fuel efficient than its predecessor, as it is 100mm longer (now 4925mm), 95mm wider (now 1980mm), 20mm taller (now 1870mm) taller than before, and 60mm (2850mm) more wheelbase than before.
