The SUV received at least two variants of the front end design.
Toyota has just unveiled its all-new model, the Land Cruiser Prado 2024. This time it is really a completely new version and not just a restyling of the previous model. Interestingly, Toyota has decided to surprise fans with two different designs for the front of the vehicle.
The classic Land Cruiser models of the 60s and 70s had round and rectangular headlights. Now the new Land Cruiser Prado 2024 (generation J250) has two versions: the base model with the designation 1958 and the top First Edition with round headlights, while the "middle" configurations are equipped with rectangular headlights in the style of FJ62. The 1958 Land Cruiser Prado has an unpainted grille, making it more affordable to replace or repair than more expensive versions with a painted grille.
The rear of the car is now different from many modern crossovers and SUVs: here, two lights are placed at the corners of the body. The spare tire is attached at the bottom behind the rear bumper, and the rear door no longer consists of two halves - now it is monolithic, but you can separately open the glass.
The 2024 Land Cruiser Prado is based on the Lexus GX and Land Cruiser 300 platform, but unlike them, the J250 is not equipped with a 3.4-liter V6 engine. The top version of the new car uses an I-Force Max powertrain with a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 48-horsepower electric motor integrated into an 8-speed automatic. The resulting output is 326 horsepower.
All-wheel drive is available on all versions of the Land Cruiser Prado 2024. It is equipped with a two-stage transfer gearbox, friction differential and locking rear differential.
Ground clearance of the Land Cruiser Prado 2024 is 220 mm, and the entry and exit angles are 31° and 22°, respectively. The most important components of the SUV are located in the frame members. All Land Cruiser J250s are equipped with an electronic low-speed driving system with special brake and accelerator pedal settings for overcoming difficult obstacles and descending steep slopes. Top versions are equipped with the proprietary Multi-Terrain Select and Multi-Terrain Monitor systems.
Depending on the equipment, the interior of the novelty can be upholstered with fabric, eco-leather or genuine leather. All versions of Land Cruiser Prado 2024 are equipped with adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring system and other driver assistance systems.
Recall that earlier in Russia started accepting pre-orders for the Atom electric car.
