The Toyota Prado in showrooms today dates back again to 2009 – and even shares its DNA with the preceding design.

Provided the platform is now additional than 20 several years previous, when is the new design because of?

The Prado is now a single of the oldest platforms in the Toyota line-up, so a new design are unable to be also significantly absent.

The Toyota LandCruiser 300 Sequence arrived 14 a long time after the 200 Sequence went on sale a new Toyota HiLux arrives the moment just about every 10 a long time or so.

The only auto older than the Prado in Toyota Australia showrooms these days is the LandCruiser 70 Series which is just about 40 several years old – and but is continue to bought out for two to a few decades.

“I truly can’t remark. I have no day (to share with you) on any new Prado and practically nothing to say on any new Prado except to say it can be a great car, continue to be on it,” Mr Hanley instructed Travel. “The existing Prado is selling nicely and potential buyers enjoy it.”

Is it achievable the up coming-era Toyota Prado could adopt turbo diesel V6 electric power, a detuned variation of the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Collection engine?

“I are unable to go there. I know it truly is your occupation, but I’m not prepared to remark on speculation.”

Will the upcoming-generation Toyota Prado or next-generation Toyota HiLux go on sale first?

“You know I can’t go there. We don’t examine long run model designs. All I can say is (Prado) is a pretty vital car will always perform a very critical job in our design line-up in Australia. So there is normally one thing to glance ahead to.”
