Upgrade for Toyota's Cruiser Prado

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.
