----------------------------------
The brand-new 2025 Toyota Landcruiser Prado combines luxury, speed, and the newest hybrid technologies. Be ready, though, because the price of this new model is going up a lot.
Toyota Australia has said that the 250 Series Prado will cost up to $12,500 more than the previous model when it goes on sale later in 2024. Prices for the base GX model have gone up by $9,670 since the 150 series left the market. It now starts at $72,500 before on-road costs. This is the smallest price increase in the whole range. The Prado GXL will cost from $79,990, which is $10,460 more than before. The VX type will cost from $87,400, which is $10,552 more than before. Prices for the top-of-the-line Kakadu will go up by $12,522 and start at $99,990. The range also got bigger when the high-end Prado came back. It cost $92,700 and fit between the VX and Kakadu models.
And even though the price went up, the new Prado still has the same 150 kW and 500 Nm of torque from its old 2.8-liter, four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. Still, the engine now has a small 48-volt boost. This approach uses a motor generator, a 48-volt battery, and a DC/DC converter to lower the load on the engine's secondary functions instead of adding power.
A new eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission is another big step up from the previous model's six-speed transmission. With a full-time all-wheel-drive system, the new gearbox makes sure that low gearing sends power to all four wheels.
In theory, the engines in the 2025 Prado look the same as the ones in the previous model. The key things that make it different are the mild hybrid system and the new transmission. Toyota hasn't released the new model's fuel economy numbers yet, but people are expecting it to get good gas mileage.
That being said, the 2025 Toyota Landcruiser Prado will cost more, but it will have more modern technology and better performance. Fans and people who might buy will argue about whether the price increase is worth it because of the changes.
