2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado J250

The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado J250 is a mid-size, body-on-frame 3-row SUV that marks a shift from the previous J150 generation. Built on Toyota's TNGA-F global platform—shared with the full-size Land Cruiser 300—the J250 adopts a retro-inspired, boxy silhouette with flat body panels, short overhangs for improved off-road approach angles, and high-mounted LED headlights. Under the hood, it is powered by a 2.8-liter (1GD-FTV) inline-4 turbocharged diesel engine producing 204 PS (201 hp / 150 kW) and 500 Nm of torque. Depending on the region, it is available as a standard turbo-diesel or paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system (MHEV). Upgrading from the previous 6-speed layout, the engine is mated to an 8-speed Direct Shift automatic transmission. It features a full-time 4WD system with a dual-range transfer case, locking center and rear differentials, electric power steering (EPS), and a front Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism (SDM) to maximize wheel articulation on rough terrain. Inside, the cabin balances utilitarian design with modern technology. It features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster alongside a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The interior offers 5-seater or 7-seater configurations, durable or leather upholstery options, tri-zone climate control, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 as standard.
