The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado has made its debut in India, marking its first appearance in the country. This well-regarded SUV has been available in international markets for some time. Multiple units of the Prado were observed being transported on a truck. Upon its launch, the Land Cruiser Prado will be positioned below the Land Cruiser and will compete with the Land Rover Defender. In comparison, the current Land Cruiser LC300 is priced at ₹2.10 crore, indicating that the Prado will be offered at a lower price point.

The spy images indicate that Toyota plans to introduce the VX variant of the Prado in India. This variant features a grille with vertical slats, 20-inch black alloy wheels, side steps, rain-sensing wipers, a 360-degree camera, and square LED headlights. Additionally, the model seen on the truck was equipped with a panoramic sunroof.

Inside, the Prado boasts an all-black interior, an electrically adjustable driver's seat, air conditioning vents for all rows, a touchscreen infotainment system, a digital driver's display, and a wireless charging pad.

In the international market, Toyota presents the Land Cruiser Prado equipped with a 2.8-litre diesel engine, which is calibrated to deliver a maximum power output of 204 bhp and a peak torque of 500 Nm. This engine is identical to the one utilized in the Toyota Fortuner; however, it is now enhanced with a 48V mild-hybrid system that contributes to improved fuel efficiency. The engine is paired with an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
