Toyota Kirloskar Motor today launched the Land Cruiser Prado facelift. The refreshed SUV is priced at 84.87 lakh rupees (ex-showroom New Delhi).

While the car's already on sale in other countries, Toyota took its time to introduce it here as it is more of a brand shaping exercise than a volume generating product. To give you an idea, Toyota has sold about 15 units of the car in India this year.
