2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Kakadu

The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Kakadu (J250 Series) represents the range-topping luxury flagship grade of the 250-generation Prado platform. Built on Toyota’s high-rigidity GA-F body-on-frame architecture shared with the Land Cruiser 300 Series, the J250 Kakadu trades the rounded retro aesthetic of lower trims for an imposing executive presentation. Visually distinguished by a chrome-slatted rectangular grille, dark metallic 20-inch alloy wheels, body-colored wheel arches and bumper trim, illuminated side steps, slim Bi-LED headlights with Adaptive High-Beam System (AHS), and a sweeping dual panoramic sunroof. Under the bonnet, Australian and RHD export-market Kakadu models are powered by Toyota’s updated 2.8-liter (2,755cc) 1GD-FTV inline 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine integrated with V-Active 48V Mild-Hybrid technology. The engine delivers 204 PS (201 hp / 150 kW) and 500 Nm of torque, paired with a Direct-Shift 8-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain features full-time 4WD with a two-speed transfer case, a central Torsen limited-slip differential, a rear Torsen LSD, Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) with rear height-leveling air springs, and Multi-Terrain Select (MTS). Inside, the 7-seater Kakadu provides top-tier passenger luxury, featuring premium leather-accented seating with power adjustment, heating, ventilation, and memory settings for the driver, heated and ventilated second-row outboard seats, a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument display, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 14-speaker JBL surround sound system, a Head-Up Display (HUD), a digital rearview mirror, and a refrigerated center-console box.
