2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado Pricing and Specs Revealed


  • The 2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado has been launched in Australia.
  • Five variants will be released—GX, GXL, VX, Kakadu, and Altitude.
  • A 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel engine with a 48 Volt V-Active technology will come as standard.
  • Prices will start at AUD$72,500 before on-road costs.

The long-awaited new-generation LandCruiser Prado has arrived on Australian shores, and it’s cheaper than you might expect. The rough and ready Australian-focused SUV will be available from just AUD$72,500 before on-road costs when it rolls into dealerships this month.

Toyota has confirmed that five variants—GX, GXL, VX, Kakadu, and the off-road-focused Altitude—will be offered in Australia, each boasting a 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel engine with a 48 Volt V-Active technology as standard. All that equates to around 200bhp of power and 500Nm of toque, with the vehicle operating under a standard 8-speed automatic transmission. Throw in the full-time all-wheel drive system, dual-range transfer case and a centre lockable Torsen limited-slip differential, and Toyota has made a case for the nation’s best-value SUV.

Sean Hanley, Toyota Australia vice president of sales, marketing and franchise operations, said the LandCruiser Prado’s upgraded styling, off-road capabilities and technology make this new 2025 release one of the lineup’s most enticing.

“Australians love the LandCruiser Prado for its family-friendly amenity, supreme off-road ability and the durability and reliability that makes it worthy of the LandCruiser nameplate,” Hanley said. “The all-new model takes everything that customers love about the LandCruiser Prado to a new level, along with a stylish new design, enhanced technology and greater comfort and driveability.”

2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado Models

In addition to the 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel engine with a 48 Volt V-Active technology, the 2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado models do offer a range of heightened off-road capabilities. The latest SUV houses the same TNGA-F architecture as its larger LandCruiser 300 Series sibling, whilst also introducing new driver assistance, multimedia and active safety technologies.

The Altitude version meanwhile takes things up a notch with a lockable rear differential and front stabiliser disconnect mechanism where the front stabiliser bar is disconnected to increase wheel articulation under extreme conditions. Ground clearance for the GX and GXL is 210mm while the VX/Altitude and the Kakadu stand taller at 221mm. Braked towing capacity is 3500kg and it has a 110-litre fuel tank.

Australian-Edge

With such a popular moniker, Australia has also played a key role in the development of this new generation LandCruiser Prado since outside Japan, this was the only country where development and testing was undertaken- as it also has been the case with other LandCruisers. Various prototypes were tested across varied Australian terrain to test the towing capabilities, off-road ability and testing the mechanical components.

“With its outstanding practicality and superb on and off-road performance, the all-new LandCruiser Prado is the perfect SUV for the weekday urban commute and extended adventures beyond the tarmac,” Hanley said.

Design and Architecture

Underpinned by the TNGA-F ladder-frame architecture, the new Land Cruiser Prado has grown with a length of 4990mm (165mm) and a width of 1980mm (95mm). That has also resulted in a longer wheelbase at 2850mm (matching the bigger LC300) while the rear track has been widened by 79mm and 83mm to 1664mm and 1668mm respectively.

The design, we think, combines retro with modern elements quite well and the boxy design is a salute to its illustrious predecessors. In its more utilitarian in its ethos with the flat bonnet, low beltline, and the big glass area. The Australian market version gets rectangular headlights in place of the round ones in some markets while you have an option of eight colours to choose from.

Overall, while the new LandCruiser Prado is a lot pricier than its predecessor, there is a lot more luxury and technology on offer which would make this a more complete off-roader.
