Toyota Land Cruiser Prado diesel india

Our friends working at the newspapers say a top company official from TKM (Toyota Kirloskar Motors) confirmed the entry of Toyota Land Cruiser Prado diesel as a CBU in India next year.

The Prado diesel is expected to come with the same 3.0-litre D-4D turbo common rail diesel engine coupled to a 5-speed automatic transmission. The UK spec model produces 171bhp at 3,400rpm and maximum torque of 410Nm between 1,600 and 2,800rpm, but that could be tweaked for India.

The faceifted Toyota Prado was showcased at Frankfurt Motor Show last month.
