The revamped Toyota Land Cruiser Prado with its macho styling is one of the delights at the Frankfurt Show this year. Leaked shots and spec sheets have not prompted Toyota to go low-key with the Prado’s launch. They’ve still come out to Germany and put their Fortuner-engined Prado on display.
Yes, you heard that right – The Toyota Prado comes with a 3.0-litre D-4D turbo common rail diesel engine coupled to a 5-speed automatic transmission. It produces 171bhp at 3,400rpm and maximum torque of 410Nm between 1,600 and 2,800rpm.
A ground breaking feature on the Prado is the Multi-terrain Select, which automatically controls power and braking according to the off-road surface, while providing you live video feeds through the four cameras placed around the car!
The official press release says the vehicle goes on sale in Britain from the 1st of December 2009. No word on the Indian launch date, but we think it is around the corner, an official announcement can be expected shortly.
Read the full press release after the jump which is better at explaining the technology and equipment than us.
