This 2024 Toyota LandCruiser Prado GXL is a seven-seat wagon combining substantial touring practicality with the hardware expected of a serious four-wheel-drive. Its 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine is paired with a sports automatic transmission and 4WD, while the stated towing capacity of 3.5 tonnes gives it the ability to support substantial recreational or work-related loads.

The GXL specification is well suited to longer trips and changing conditions. Side steps and roof rails add useful exterior functionality, while the full-size alloy spare wheel and rear differential lock reinforce its capability beyond sealed roads. Crawl Control, active traction control, hill descent control, hill start assist and trailer stability control provide dedicated support when terrain, gradients or towing demands become more challenging.

Inside, the seven-seat layout is complemented by a split-fold third row and 40/20/40 folding second-row seats, allowing the cabin to be adapted between passenger carrying and cargo duties. The third-row arrangement makes the Prado useful for larger groups, while the folding seating provides flexibility when carrying bulky equipment. All-weather floor mats, a cargo cover, a power tailgate and an air-conditioned cool box add practical touches for travel and everyday use.

Comfort features include heated and ventilated front seats, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, two-zone climate control, a leather steering wheel and a premium gear knob. The cabin also includes smart entry and smart start, rear privacy glass and illuminated vanity mirrors. These details help make the interior more accommodating on extended journeys without compromising the vehicle’s utility-focused character.

Technology is centred on a nine-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity and digital radio. An 11-speaker sound system, multi-function steering wheel controls and a multi-information display provide convenient access to entertainment, information and vehicle functions. A panoramic view monitor, reversing camera and rear parking distance control assist with manoeuvring a relatively large wagon in confined spaces.

The Prado’s safety and driver-assistance equipment includes autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist recognition, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, intelligent active cruise control, adaptive high-beam assist, road-sign assist and safe-exit assist. Night vision with pedestrian recognition and a reverse-camera washer are also listed, adding further support in low-light conditions or when visibility is reduced.
