Toyota’s iconic Land Cruiser Prado has undergone a metamorphosis with bolder exterior styling, a more refined interior and even better handling for 2014.
Ringing the exterior changes is an extensive redesign with a deeper front bumper, heritage-inspired grille and newly styled alloy rims that reinforce the Prado's toughness, reliability and off-road prowess.
Interiors, too, have benefited from comprehensive upgrades that raise quality, convenience and ease of use with new multi-media audio systems as well as a redesigned dashboard featuring improved materials, detailing and features.
LOTS OF MONITORS
Under-the-skin fettling comprises upgrades to the electronically-modulated kinetic dynamic suspension to enhance handling and ride comfort characteristics.
Finally, Toyota has amplified functionality by providing additional driver guidance aids such as blind-spot and tyre-pressure monitors.
.
Toyota SA Motors senior vice president for sales and marketing, Calvyn Hamman, says the upgrades will reaffirm the Land Cruiser Prado as one of the most technically advanced and easy-to-use 4WD vehicles in the world.
Wheels24's DAVE FALL was at the launch and will be filing an on-the-spot report.
