Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 250 2023.

Japanese publication «BestCarWeb» found out that frame SUV Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 250 in the new body can be presented at the end of summer 2023.

Later it was reported that the premiere will be postponed until 2024 due to a shortage of electronic components.

Expect the new Prado 250 to be 4,825mm long, 1,885mm wide and 1,835mm tall.

In other words, the model will be lower by 10 mm, while the other parameters will remain the same.

At the same time the distance between the axles of the SUV should increase to 2 840 mm (+ 50), which means the second row of the car will be more spacious.

The upcoming Land Cruiser Prado 2023-2024 will definitely keep its frame construction, but whether the model will get aluminum body panels (like on the Land Cruiser 300) is unknown.

The powertrain lineup is likely to retain both the 2.7-liter gasoline atmospheric engine 2TR-FE, and the recently upgraded 2.8-liter diesel 1GD-FTV.

Later in the range of TLC Prado 250 may appear a hybrid modification equipped with a 2.5-liter gasoline engine.

As for transmissions, in addition to the current six-speed automatic transmission, the SUV will be available with a new automatic transmission with eight gears.

If the car really present in the twenty-fourth year, we can assume that the date of the beginning of its sales in Russia will not make itself long to wait, since our market is one of the key for this model.

The present «Pradik» now costs from 3 million rubles, the price of the new one will certainly be higher, but not greatly.

However, by that time the base price of «one hundred and fifty» can also increase significantly.

The new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2023 will keep the frame and get a hybrid setup.

The new generation of Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2023 SUV may be introduced as early as August 2022.

The model will keep its frame construction. Information, release date, dimensions and specifications of the new LC Prado 250 2023 model year.

Japanese car portal BestCarWeb reported that the new generation Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2022-2023 will retain the frame design and all off-road capabilities (including all-wheel drive with locks).

In August 2021, it became known that the car will be indexed «250» instead of «180».

The model will get a completely redesigned design. And the list of equipment will include: intelligent collision avoidance system, semi-autonomous driving system, all-around vision system, as well as adaptive cruise control with the ability to stop completely and then automatically resume driving.

The SUV will be built on a TNGA-F frame platform with a lower center of gravity.

Externally, the car will be distinguished by new narrowed headlights, slightly different lights and redesigned bumper group.

The new car will have more space in the cabin, increased torsional rigidity, lower center of gravity and improved aerodynamics.

Dimensions of the new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 250 2022 will be: length — 4850 mm (+25 mm), width — 1880 (-10 mm) mm and height — 1850 mm (-5 mm).

Technical specifications:

The car’s powertrain lineup will feature a gasoline six-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 3.3-liter, 299-hp turbodiesel.

In mid-December 2020, BestCarWeb stated that the SUV will retain the spar frame.

Overall length will increase from the current 4,825 mm to 4,850 mm. Recall that the current generation of LC Prado 150 2021 is sold in Russia at a price of 3,021,000 rubles for a version with a gasoline engine 2.7 liters and manual transmission.

Initially it was planned to release an updated SUV in 2022 or 2023.

The rescheduling is due to high demand for the previous generation Prado 150, as well as due to a shortage of electronic chips.
