Reviews

2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado review

First new Toyota Prado since 2009 looks radically different and lacks both V6 and hybrid power, but advances in almost every area.

MU-X buyers can choose between two engines, two drive types and three trim levels, but the 1.9-litre 4x4 LS-U isn't the perfect permutation.
