2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TXL

The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TX-L (GDJ150W series) represents the ultimate evolution of the fourth-generation J150 platform. Long established as the benchmark for luxury mid-size off-roaders across the East African region, the 2021 model year introduced Toyota's vital mid-cycle mechanical upgrade—pairing a significantly more powerful turbodiesel engine with refined interior technology and enhanced active safety suites. Under the bonnet, it houses the upgraded 2.8-liter 1GD-FTV 4-cylinder common-rail turbo-diesel engine, equipped with a larger, heavy-duty ball-bearing turbocharger and a redesigned cylinder block. Engine output jumps to 201 hp (204 PS / 150 kW) and 500 Nm of torque—a massive increase over earlier pre-2020 1GD variants. Power is delivered via a 6-speed Super ECT automatic transmission to a full-time 4WD system featuring a Torsen limited-slip center differential with low-range transfer capabilities. The TX-L (Leather Package) serves as the optimal balance between off-road utility and luxury comfort. Distinct from base TX models, the TX-L features standard leather seating for 7, power-adjustable front seats with heating and cooling ventilation, dual-zone climate control, a power sunroof, and an upgraded 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment display supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
