News (2009) This page is an archive of LandCruiser News & other announcements made in 2009. Click the link above for the latest news. Update 2009 December: Well I've checked out the new 150 series Prado and my report on it can be read there: First Impressions review and then the First Drive report Update 2009 November: New 150 Series Prado is due to be release next week! (16th Nov) Updated some specs on the comparison page. Update 2009 October: No change to the 150 series release date. According to Toyota Aust nearly 150,000 will have been sold by the end of the year. Didn't mention which series though! Update 2009 September: Finally Toyota has released official pictures for the brand new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado! It will be for sale by the end of the year as a 2010 model. So If you like the current design buy one now or wait a few months for the new version. There are plenty of news reports worldwide so I don't need to add anything that resembles a news scoop!
Update 2009: more info
on the upcoming 2010 Toyota Prado and Lexus GX from Japan. Yes
the pictures are real and the brochure is too. Check out the
link below:
Update 2009: The new and
current Kia Sorento comparison is up and the links to see real
pictures of the new 2010 Toyota Prado - Enjoy. Update 2009: More updates and specification corrections and vehicle comparisons. Update 2009: It has been reported that Toyota will release a new version of the Prado later this year. It is anticipated that the new body will look like a cross between the Kulger and the 200 series Landcruiser. So should look nice? Considering the current economic climate I don't think you should hold too much hope for a new model rumors though.
Update 2009: Added
Pathfinder or Terrano specifications and corrected various
specification errors. |

Update 2008: Added Mitsubishi Pajero/Shogun/Montero AND Nissan Patrol comparison page. Updated the engine specifications for the diesel - because they where wrong! Update 2008: Just finished upgrading the Prado's stereo. Check out the new 'News' pages! Update 2008: The latest 6 speed Auto in the 200 series has an issue. Apparently it will not change to 6 gear until 120kph. This applies to diesel version. That means that it will be using lots more gas than you'd expect and a HUGE problem. Why? Australia national speed limit is only 110kph.
Update: Just updated the site with a quick Prado Vs
200 Series comparison. Update: The 2008 all new 200 series Land Cruiser has been revealed. It's been awhile since the last all new model and this one looks like its been designed for a long life too. It's clear where Toyota wants to position the new model, namely very up market. I think its a mistake. They should have the Lexus model cover that and focused on what the traditional focus this particular model was good at. Mind you since they now have various series such as the Prado covering different areas I can understand. We shall see whether it works out. I'll do a write up shortly since new releases are rare in the LandCruiser world. Update: the 2007 spec Prado has been released and there's a few changes. The GX gets cosmetic updates to make it more inline with the GXL. Whilst the GXL gets stuff like roof rails to make it more VX and so forth. Only the Grande models do not have any cosmetic changes. The updated diesel engine finally arrives along with the consistent transmissions between the 2 engines.
