Tom reviews the new 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado Kakadu Horizon and provides an expert opinion.
Is the Prado the best of the Toyota off-roaders, all things considered? We revisit the 150-series Land Cruiser in today’s video, checking out the new high specification Prado Kakadu Horizon grade, which brings a lush interior and some glitzy exterior additions to the 2020 Prado. With a 2.8-litre turbo diesel four cylinder engine under the bonnet, the Prado isn’t fast, but it is well made and highly capable. But should you buy a Prado over a ute-based wagon like an Everest, Pajero Sport or Fortuner?
In today’s view, Tom Baker from Chasing Cars conducts a review of this new version of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, finished in Peacock Black over light cream leather and wood grain.
What do you think of the revised Prado? Do you prefer a traditional 4WD or a family crossover or SUV? Should Toyota give the Prado the V8? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments box below.

Love all the reviews Tom, good to see these from the local Aussie markets. Would love to see you add the key fob and servicing costs. Keep up the great work 👍
You're one of my favorite Tom love your review 👍👍 always in depth and practical yet without being boring. Professional and interesting / relevant review world class in my opinion. 👌👌☝
Simple honest and no frills review!!! Never change please!!!
Love all the reviews Tom, my dream car, good to see these from the local Aussie markets
I got 2020 Kakadu horizon with spare on rear door it's fantastic seats are so comfy and the economy is great
Good evening sir, I want you to know that I love the toyota prado very much, it is a great vehicle,I am going to own one soon. Your presentation on the Toyota prado is excellent, keep up the good work, God bless you.
I bought mine back in 2019 it is a different version (AWD, touch screen...) love it
Enjoyed watching the Video Review . I particularly like the Paint Colour. I don’t like the outdated Infotainment System
I salute Toyota for being with Africa during the difficulties of off-roads before the renovation of Africa we say forward with high spirits salute to Toyota king of Africa 🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
Good review Tom! Could you please do a review of the Everest Titanium and see how it compares to the Prado?
Great review. You’re spot on questioning why you would need the pretty tan interior in a car like this. Just go for a VX, leather interior and most of the options and all of the safety, bar air suspension and posh interior. Safe some decent coin and gain the ability to thrash it whilst retaining resale value with the clean interior. Keep up the great work!
In the Philippines the LC 200 and LC Prado (Diesel Variant) costs almost the same. I would love to get a LC Prado though with the similar price with the LC 200 its hard to justify.. Awesome review by the way!
By far the best review for me for Prado
My 2010 kakadu still going strong at 430,000km and drives almost as good as a new one. Sure it has its shortcomings but for longevity, reliability and comfort ya can't fault a prado.
If towing is a priority get a 200 series!!
how is ur air suspension holding up?
Hi my prado Kakadu horizon is fantastic the leather seats are so comfy and the 2.8 engine is quieter and faster and more economical than my old 3.0 litre .
When's the redesign coming tom like 2021-22
Is there a Kakadu horizon trim with two wheel drive?
I love my Prado. With the power increase, I badly want a new one. It would be so cool if they can bring out a diesel hybrid for the Prado. It will sell even better than the RAV4.
Will sales like hot cakes
Hey Tom. Could you review the 2021 kakadu model?
Nice review👍. Just a correction, @0:40 it is not a 105 series LC😉
As with others Tom, the Prado is popular with nomads of the grey and other varieties!
So I do think the rear spare and auxiliary tank with the addition 60 litres is preferable.
It’s sadly missing some torque and power and CarPlay.
Let’s hoping these increases in output improve the drivability.
I’ll be taking a look as an option for blacktop touring and major unsealed trails such as the Birdsville Track.
Great review but a month too early! Its the 2021 update that needs a review. Need to know if that extra power translates to meaningful improvements to towing.
Thank you very much for the details given. I would like if you every send them to Dubai market. I also would like to know how much such Prado can cost after two years of manufacture if I want to order for it direct from Australia.
10/10 I would rather have a double fuel tank and the wheel on the rear door
Is there a 2020 prado zr? I want one
Love the Prado
Has it still got the DPF problem?
Great review Tom, one of my dream cars! What would the ideal engine be for the Prado? Given that Toyota will axe the 4.5L V8 Twin Turbo Diesel from the LC200, just wondering what would be a "nicer/better" motor for it!
The diesel V8, for sure! It fits in there, I’m told...
Yup or the v6 from the highlander, beautiful truck just gutless
Great vehicle!!!
Very nice looking! I like it, the looks of it
It’s quite a good looking rooster! Or should I say Peacock. The colour is Peacock Black.
Chasing Cars it is and I like the color too! Is it available for sale in the United States?
I was so hoping that this would have been the first Australian review of the 150 kW/500 Nm update. Oh well, nice review anyway. :)
Filmed it just before that announcement was made.... sadly. No doubt the additional grunt will help, but I think the Prado needs the V8!
@@chasingcars I'd be happy with a good V6 Diesel. I have the 3L Prado which I prefer over the 2.8L but the new 2.8 specs may be better again. It's a lot of kw & Nm from a 4 cylinder, I hope it is as reliable as my 3L has been. 3.5 tonne towing would also be nice, but you will need all of the 500Nm to make that a comfortable drive.
I thought people will love the wheel on the rear option since they will get a double fuel tank.
This is the 4runner of America.
Why no paddle shifter?
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen I'm Maboya Sekoele from South Africa , Toyota Prado it's a good suv I think if they can increase torgue and the towing capacity because of our system of life and our roads bt up to soo far the way it is happy 😉😉😊😊😉😉
A Toyota dealer has stated that the 150kW 500Nm engine is available as of August 2020. There are many out there ready to attack what Toyota have produced recently - namely DPF issues - and that’s understandable; but if you want to venture into the great Aussie outback and make it back, then I don’t know of anything else that has such an extensive network of support not to mention reliability that’s generally better than any of its competitors.
True, a Land Cruiser would be one of the only vehicles I’d travel across Australia in
Nah, would rather a Patrol all things considered.
Great review as always Tom, Prado is true Aussie family hauler, although I won’t buy one as I don’t live in the country and I don’t really need this level of off-road capability. Yes, it really shows it’s age by now.
Thanks Siquan. Agree, it's the right car for the right buyer - but that isn't everybody!
your jokes about tipping over made me subscribe. more of that dry funny stuff please. dont be like caradvice lol
0:41 - did he say "105 series Prado"?
Arxa qapı yoxarı açılan etsələr. Yaxşı görünər👍❤️
105 series?
so this engine has a similar amount of torque as cx-5 turbo....
Speaking about off road cars, are you going to do a review on the new defender?
Yes! Driving it next week Andrew.
Chasing Cars nice one, looking forward to the video!
We have owned a 2007 Toyota Prado 3.0 diesel “Grande’ spec” for 9 years over 200,000 klms.
The adjustable air suspension with its high profile tyres deals with the worst of Australian roads very well.
MUCH more comfortable than the (bought new) previous Nissan Patrol GU6 ST-L spec manual diesel.
Better in all respects and would not consider a Nissan Product now.
If a 3.3 litre Twin Turbo Diesel with or without PHEV (preferably with PLEASE!!) would be perfect.
I have wanted to update for some time, however I believe the 2755cc capacity (2.8) is too small. Since I have a decent solar system (storage) PHEV would be perfect. I could see us hanging onto that vehicle for a very long time. As it stands this current Prado will stay in the family and not be sold.
A 3.3 TT V6 hybrid diesel would be an amazing combination.
Would Graphene be better than Li-ion?
Surely there is something much better than Li-ion, I’m prepared to wait as our 2007 is THAT GOOD.
Mate, when will be off road? 😄
my dream car Kakadu
Drove the new undated motor today....seemed to have a reasonable amount of punch in it...
Is there any additional feature between the updated power and before?
if Prado would be available in Canada the happy days of honda pilot will be ended
I think 4 runner, or perhaps honda passport will do the job
@@ryanl3106 if they do have diesel engine available in north america
@@MrShelange True. If 4runner has diesel, I'll trade in my car now. But diesel have to take care more than gasolin in winter.
@@ryanl3106 I wonder what Europeans do in the wintertime to their diesel engines we should have that kind of tech too. it seems that they don't have kind of problem driving Deisel the whole year-round
@@MrShelange Before, dieseal car have to install block heater, oil warmers and glow plugs (or maybe add some additive)to let dieseal fuel become flouid in cold weater(lower than 40F),which means you have to plug in a heater into a loutlet everytime you park outside.
Gasolin don't have that problem because gasolin is way easier to vaporized than dieseal. Even in extreme low temp area gas car will only need to install block heater to heat up the engine oil to prevent frozen. That's the chemical thing, I just want to say dieseal need a bit more care in winter compare to gas.
I still remember a story about dieseal trucks around WW2 times, people would just light up wood fire under the dieseal tank before start their truck.
The seat in the middle at the second row is terribly stiff. Almost like an after thought.
Is the LC Prado with 4 cyl diesel good enough as alternative to LC 200 V8 diesel ?
Huh? Are you joking?
V8 diesel?! We only get a petrol V8 here in the States, that's unfair
If I were to buy it, VX would be my pick. It has all pretty much we need. Is there any chance of Toyota using their new V6 diesel with Prado in the coming years?
AGP V6 diesel??.
@@herbertwong6007 yes. Toyota will introduce their V6 diesel in their upcoming Land Cruiser. I am hoping they will use that in their Prado lineup as well.
AGP really??? If that is the case, its the perfect engine for this 👍👍👍
Is like a friend of mine said the other day talking to a friend that owns a BMW X5:
BMW X5 owner: My X5 has this such amazing technology!!!! Look a this beautiful design and cool features. I also have Android and iPhone carplay (he's got a point in that subject, come on Toyota)
I also have a v6 diesel that is outstanding, etc, etc, ect......
Prado owner: yep, that's an almighty vehicle you have there buddy!!!!
Tell you what: let's drive everyday and averywhere for the next 10 years. Lets go off road. Let's go camping. And when those 10 years are over we'll talk about reliability, maintenance cost, visit to the mechanic and some other stuff. And most important, put a sing on each vehicle that reads: FOR SALE
And all you have to do for that is spend 10 years with an outdated, over priced mediocre off road vehicle.
its a handsome vehicle
Own a 2019 vx. Reliable? Yes. Latest tech? Nope. The gauges and info screen are from the last century.
I know. I had this screen in my 2009 Camry Hybrid company car... worst is the resolution of the reversing camera. My 11 year old golf has a better camera.
is the diesel engine noisy?
@Rivinaka Dharmaratne geez I thought Toyota's r good. I mean Prado is popular car here in Aus.
@Rivinaka Dharmaratne 0-100 km in 17 sec! Thats slow.. read somewhere that the new updated engine with 205hp and 500nm of torque goes from 0 - 100 in 10 sec. would think that is rather optimistic...🤔
@@bikerman6907 i heard from a mate of mine as well. says its quite slow. lol
The head unit in the Prado still looks dated compared to its rivals. I hope Toyota overhaul it for 2021
Whos gonna rival the prado tho?
It’s a shame that whilst you were whinging about the rear door opening, you did not point. Out that the rear glass panel opens separately, also with side hinged doors, you have the chance to open them slightly and access what is inside within tight spaces, which is almost impossible to do with top hinged doors.
Top-hinged doors take up far less swing space. Side hinged sucks.
@@chasingcars i prefer side hinged-speak of yourself
384,500km on my VZJ95, they are reliable.
Love from Canada
Quite a harsh critique of the Prado..ouch, but best to hear it as is.
What he said at the beginning? Ten times still no idea.
Did you mean 150series Prado
TOYOTA is the Best. No1 Selling Car Brand Worldwide 👑💯
The Interior looks very 2008 dated now. Imagine owning one and trying to use a DVD player in 2029. Most owners seem to never sell these and Im Not sure I could part with the 100k for one.
This is the prado this is only £45k your talking about the bigger landcruiser 200 and that is bigger and better and its worth the 100k also this prado design is from 2009 and is a facelift of the 2014 version
LC is the king
Toyota keeps selling us 10+ year old cars (Prado and 200 series) at a premium price. We Australians are paying top bucks and getting outdated cars.
0:55 Oh Tom, you say the word 'old' like only someone in their mid-20s can ;-)
8:20 Cutting it a little fine there in front of the Sydney bus!
Prado is the best
Love from India 👑
should have shown more function
I see the SsangYong Rexton ultimate a real alternative to this.
Salam Toyota prado. Yan əyaq altıları acılıb bağlanan. Etsə yaraşar bu Avtomobilə
Tom obviously you have forgotten that you reviewing an off road capable car .. and you comparing it with suv’s that cant even travel on gravel!!! You can’t have everything you know...
Toyota’s unrivaled reputation for reliability and quality let’s it get away with some borderline disrespectful lags in updating technology and engines
If it ain't broke don't fix it!
Siyabonga Ntshingila don’t think Toyota’s are as reliable these days, I had a 120 series for 10years, in that time I had Injector prob’s x 2 new Turbo new alternator and both front wheel bearings changed, only 148k on clock. Current model has DPF issues.
Steve Johnson that sounds expensive and disappointing.
Are you serious? prado has been around for more than 10 years infact i remember seeing so many in 2006 and 2007-do the math and count wisely
Yes, I’m serious. That was a totally different generation of Prado - the 150 Series has only been around since 2010 in Australia.
@@chasingcars A prado is still a prado-there are different generations though-but the PRADO has been around even before 2007
Yes, but what I meant was this generation.
There is no wireless charging, back pockets of landcruiser prado is net pocket which is a let down for the price tag. Rest its good
I’d love to own Prado if I could here in the US. Instead we are stuck with a Predator faced overpriced Lexus with too much extra body cladding for off-road use.
With only one fuel tank, this Prado driving range Will be a joke.
First!!
Notification gang 🙌🏼
the presenter wasn’t even born when the Prado went on sale in its original shape (the 150 being a major makeover of the 120)
Good day! I turn to you for help,I nee
Among the highly regarded prado designs, the most failed design is the seven-seat design. When people use off-road vehicles, enough space is the most important thing. Because we always need to carry enough equipment, there is absolutely no need to carry more people, so a five-seater design is sufficient.
With the current seven-seater design, the third row of seats occupies a lot of space. However, this very annoying and completely useless third-row seat cannot be removed.
In the past few years, I replaced two off-road vehicles. They are all seven-seater designs that I hate very much. I have never opened the third row of seats in ten years. This thing is useless.
That annoying sun glare...could've done without it.
Grey nomad retired boomer spec - imagine sales have dipped with covid - if lived in outback white prado as ubiquitous as red dirt
That rear door is a joke for the price of this vehicle
It is absolutely ridiculous to see a Prado trying to be premium by insertion of wooden details and leather
Toyota Australia always gives their cars stupid names - Kakadu, Kluger, Cruiser etc
Kluger, I agree. Kakadu - I like the name and it's of course an important Indigenous heritage area.
What 3 names would you use instead?
Still remains ridiculously underpowered.
Give it the V8!
Who uses a DVD player in 2020? come on Toyota get with program
What a joke right? DVDs are long gone.
bruh
Kakadu... that’s literally the worst name I’ve heard for a trim level. What’s the lower trim called? Poopookaka? I know it’s a park but come on.
💩😅 it's an Aussie thing. It's an acquired taste, like Vegemite...
Use to be and still a good car but now too aged and dying globally
My old 2007 prado has better looking interior with the dark cherry wood on the wheel, this 2020 model with the light bamboo colour wood looks ugly and not as sharp looking smh let alone the baby engine
Auustralians love paying a premium for overpriced and underdone Toyotas.
couldn't agree more! It's like paying a homage to the Tojo Emperor. The cost of a Prado will buy the entire Kakadu NP in Northern Territory
Yeah, Toyota's been resting on its laurels for a bit too long.
because they don't break, simple....
Most cluttered confused and non linear review. Get done with one thing before moving to other. Be a bit relaxed rather than being too rushed. Relax let viewers grasp you and then the car too.
Pretty sure it had quite clearly defined segments, actually.
Boring!
Gotta give toyota credit they overprice and are basically behind everyone yet can ask big $$ and it sells well done toyota showing how dumb buyers are these days
