Commanding Presence. Legendary Capability. Refined Luxury.
Overview
Meet the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, the latest generation of Toyota's legendary Prado nameplate, redesigned to deliver a more commanding presence, advanced technology, exceptional off-road capability, and a significantly more sophisticated driving experience.
Built on Toyota's GA-F body-on-frame platform, the new Prado combines traditional Land Cruiser durability with modern engineering, improved road manners, premium comfort, and advanced driver-assistance technology. It remains a genuine 4x4 rather than simply an SUV styled to look rugged.
With its distinctive squared-off design, elevated driving position, spacious three-row cabin, full-time 4WD and advanced terrain-management systems, the 2025 Prado is equally at home navigating the city, cruising the highway or tackling demanding African terrain.
This is the Prado reimagined for a new generation.
Engine & Performance
Depending on the market and specification, the 2025 Prado is available with different powertrains. A particularly relevant specification for the Nigerian market is the 2.4L turbocharged petrol four-cylinder.
2.4L Turbo Petrol
- Engine: 2.4L Turbocharged 4-cylinder
- Displacement: 2,393 cc
- Power: Approximately 271 hp
- Torque: 430 Nm
- Transmission: 8-speed automatic
- Drivetrain: Full-time 4WD
- Seating: 7 passengers
- Fuel tank: 80L in the Toyota Nigeria/CFAO specification
- Ground clearance: Approximately 210–215 mm depending on grade
Toyota's official Nigerian specification lists the 2.4L turbo petrol with 271 hp and 430 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and full-time 4WD.
Other markets offer the 2.8L turbo-diesel, producing around 204 hp and 500 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic.
The result is a Prado that delivers strong low-end torque, confident highway performance and the traction required when the pavement ends.
