GREAT review.
the indestructible car!!! the most reliable, tough & brilliant off-road car
So nice to see transparency, describing how this fully equipped version is not going to be the same with what many people are getting (a lower trim). Nice point...respect.
In South Africa, these come with the spare wheel mounted on the rear door. This give room for a standard fitted second fuel tank giving 150 liters. Much better.
Yea but the bad thing is it Needs more space when u want to open the boot
Also, gas stations are much more available now so bigger gas tank is not required. Unless your going into deep bush, where you can option for a rear wheel on the rear instead of a flat tail gate, in Australia.
Great review Brian. I live in Dubai where Land Cruisers are like the most common car because they are reliable, tough & brilliant off-road. They are extremely common.
thanks m8 !

I like this kind of honest "down to earth" reviews :-).
If you want a premium truly off road vehicle, YES, you do pick the Toyota Land Cruiser btw, in Australia the Prado Isn't the top of the range, that would be the Sahara. You buy the Toyota LC as a premium off-Roader because unlike something like the Merc or Land Rover alternatives, this Toyota is incredibly reliable which is what you need in the outback. Toyota sells different versions of this vehicle to different markets, i'm not sure how truly off-road suitable the European version is, it looks pretty capable but in the US, they more have a vehicle that's setup for more style of substance as they rarely have true off road use where as the model designed for the Australian, African and Middle East is designed as a true off-Roader with all the capability and reliability that the Land Cruiser 200 series is designed for.
Thanks for the review this car means a lot here in Africa, my father first car is 1998 land cruiser prado and still kicking today
MaigeTzee how many kilometers?
Zee B nearly 600k,
MaigeTzee thanks. Very cool.
Funny thing is, this is nothing compared to outback driving in rural Australia, the Toyota Land Cruiser of choice and it truly IS designed for far worse situations than this, we might not have snow but we do have sand, incredible dust and heat, stoney, muddy rivers to pass through and such. In Australia Toyota has several models of LC including the Prado which isn't our top of the line, that would be the Sahara and they also offer the option of including truly off road reliable parts such as huge bull bars fitted by the dealer, as its quite common to hit huge kangaroos, eagles, deer and even cows and the like, Snorkel exhaust kits are pretty common due to needing to travel through deep river crossings, Fridge for food storage, fitted in the boot and of course roof racks for all the additional gear you will want such as multiple spare tyres, fuel and sleds to get you out of being bogged. Here is the Sahara, th-cam.com/video/cUE7F-oVbsY/w-d-xo.html its a 4.5 -litre V8 turbo-diesel :D btw, Toyota isn't the best on infotainment technology that's for sure but they do make by far the most reliable vehicles and its reliability that you really want in the outback of Australia. For the money, you really get ripped off in Europe, our top of the range Sahara costs about $120,000 AUD The 200 series is very much due for an update, the Prado however has been recently updated tech wise so would probably be a better buy until the full LC update is released.
That colour is gorgeous!
Assuming it’s Espresso Brown.
Great vehicle, thank you Brian and Jonas.
He makes a good point at the beginning about the gulf in class between the trim levels. A base Toyota is generally very austere and lacks many useful and desirable features whilst the top trims are almost Lexus-like in their materials.
I bought my 2019 4.0L Prado last week, it's a beast, i'm a 1st time owner of a Toyota but have driven many prado's and Land cruiser's of different models for work. I've always been a BMW owner and i've just traded my 2008 X5 for the Prado. and i can say i'm not disappointed. cant wait to test it in winter.
Very informative review Sir!
this car needed the 3.5 V6 atkinson cycle from the american tacoma/4runner, combined with a hybrid assist (like the infinity direct response hybrid) - simple, efficient, effective.
so the guys who wanted to work, could have chosen the diesel for towing, and the guys who wanted something like a GX460 could have gotten the hybrid.
nice Review .. good job Brian !
I really like these types of cars. Proper SUVs that are really off-road capable.
Great review
Good car, hope they bring to Brazil some day.. Great review as usual!!
Best review I've seen thus far. good job, subscribed.
Welcome !!
I am on my third Landcruiser in a row so now driving them since 2006. I drive the very basic three door commercial version. Basically a three door van. But its great for bringing the dogs, towing my classic cars on my transporter and its main job of assisting me in my Landscape gardening business. Of course the base models have only very basic 4WD traction control.
Truely an amazing review. With Brian's cool special touch.
great, keep tuning in! =)
This is a Landcruiser Prado, its the baby. In Australia we have this and a 200 series Landcruiser with a V8 and acres of room
Andrew Smith like in every country.
@@bamphmx-5548 nah most of Europe just gets the Prado
Let’s not get carried away champion and blow our own trumpets. We import the 200 like a bunch of other countries. We also buy more Prado’s for the rug rat run and the only people who really care about the Land Cruiser badge are 200 series owners. Let’s also remember that the LC has a lower load capacity than the Prado when you consider the GVM so space is not the only factor. We all know how that goes when we load the tug up with bar work, batteries and the obligatory fridge. Go easy buddy and stay safe. 👍🇦🇺
Jimmy Jimmy A Standard Prado can carry around 680kg which is around 100 -120kg more tgan a Standard 200. But it can only tow 3ton not 3,5ton legally. Anyone that tows in a 200 just gets the gvm or gvm/gcm upgrade., with my Sahara that takes the GVM to 3800kg up from 3350kg, it can tow 4 ton, 400kg ball weight and a GCM of 7800kg. More than you need to tow a 3.5 ton van and have a full car. Chalk and cheese between the 2. Also the standard springs are good enough if you are not towing over 3 ton, and cushier on the road.
Autogehfül knows how to recruit reviews
great review very specific
thank you brian
Brian cool as always.
Very well made review!
thanks for the support!
Can’t think of another SUV that looks like an army tank .... this thing has got so much presence.... the top model completes with LR Discovery, where it will be found wanting as far as interiors go. Still.... very desirable vehicle. 👌
A fantastic thorough review.
appreciated!
"Jonas looking a little nervous :-) " Great review friends ★★★★★ as usual. That's real 4WD & reliable car.
This is the Prado. The 2020 facelift looks awesome. Waiting to get mine soon.
Excelent review as always, really appreciate it.
It was a delight to watch, car is a legend, really glad Toyota still makes them.
The only downside I guess is the high price. But still a more than capable car.
Last small request, if you can and have the time, could you also make a review of the 2018 Subaru XV? At least while there is still some snow to test it?
Thank you again for a great review.
Thx! Yes subaru xv coming this month!
Very nice job mate!
cheers pal !
My dream car land cruiser offroad very nice desinged....
Pity you don’t get the real deal with the spare on the rear door and a full size fuel tank (150lts). I have the 2020 Australian GXL with a 50mm lift, full bar work and tour ready. Agree with the final comments. Buy the car that best suits your needs and remember it is way more capable than a school run or even the test track demo. Nice job on the review. 👍🇦🇺
Nice and interesting review. These and Mercs G are the best for extreme offroading in comfort and reliability.
+1. .. Nice review. .. Toyota USA has positioned the Land Cruiser V8 as a one (USD $85,000) price fits all understated luxury 4x4. .. Its interior is substantially upscale from the Euro Land Cruiser reviewed.
Love your reviews .
thanks feel free to recommend ! =)
Official car of my area- Brisbane, Australia. They will never see the dirt, though.
cant help loving the Toyota reliability and world leading off road abillity and now the land cruiser utility a master stroke by Toyota.
Great review!
thanks feel free to share!
Yes, if I want a premium 4x4 the Land Cruiser is going to be my choice, and not only Prado, might even be full size LC. Toyota is the best, I'm in Europe as well.
Yep...ours is the earlier 150 series with the same engine...but we love it...the space...the rugged quality...the value for money....and I don't think I'd want anything else in deepest Australia...
Which is better for daily city driving, diesel or gas?
Go big or go home, with this qoute a all around great Video!:)
😎
It is a great machine.
No one believes . I chose Prado over Porsche Cayenne. Becoz Prado is so much good for rough use. Just kill the Prado by driving u will love it as I loved.
prado is good for offroading and complete shit on roads
Same here with the Lexus GX460, the US equivalent with a Gas Powered V8 over a cayenne
Looks awesome all the way aroud
great review, Someone knows the name or code of that color?
Thank you Autogefuehl for another great video! Any chance to see a "regular" review with the Prado soon?
Cheers! U mean road test?
Correct :)
We ll try to arrange, but it might make sense to wait a little till the next updates for the model
If you don't like executive style in a 4x4 what do you think of the Mercedes G class?
To be honest this one of the best reviews on the J150 I‘ve seen. I‘m in between the base model and the trim level above, but I think I‘ll go for the base model.
Thanks feel free to recommend us!
Отличный внедорожник.
What other 4X4 offers the same reliability and capability? If you are buying a Prado you are buying the ride comfort and capability and most wont care about a bit of sand or mud as the interior is rugged and will stand the test of time.. I drive the GXL Australian version and am with you on the lower price point interior. Nice comprehensive review although you did say it was a five seater then demonstrated its seven seats..👍
Best car ever
Music is from Seen Through Glass🇬🇧✌
Ok, a few comments I would make are that you really didn't sound too much as though you knew what you were talking about with the Land Cruiser. I might add I own a three door Land Cruiser and it certainly is not a pumped up RAV 4. It can do everything a 5 door can. If space is an issue, or you just don't want 5 doors then the 3 door is a totally practical alternative.You might add what tyres you were using since every off roader knows that the secret to safe off road driving is good tyres. If you were using standard road tyres, or perhaps basic mud and snows, I'm impressed by the car.Finally I do so agree with you on the practical side of the Land Cruiser. Since Land Rover decided to stop Defender production, the Land Cruiser is about the only sensible alternative. Most other cars being too expensively finished. I tow on a daily basis a two horse horse trailer: all up weight around 2.75 tonnes with great ease. I return around 10.1 litres per 100 Km on mixed cycle between towing and normal driving.A final point is reliability. The Land Cruiser compared to my old Land Rover is only at the garage for regular servicing. Nothing has gone wrong in the first 60,000 Km whereas the Land Rover had regular silly little faults.If you want a car that starts, goes and seldom will let you down, is practical and comfortable, the Land Cruiser is the car for you: 3 door or 5.
Cool video
thanks tune in for more :)
This is sold as Land Cruiser in Europe btw and as Land Cruiser Prado in a lot of markets. The US gets the big Land Cruiser which is 11 cm longer than the 5-door Prado.
They really have stepped up the game in the interior, looks pretty fancy in the bright way with the wood! However I agree with Brian that the entry level version is a more suitable and better price/performance choice for this car.
22:30 lol, descending sounds like a drone from star wars - or I am the only one thinking that? ;)
/Thomas
Autogefühl Technically, it's sold as the Lexus GX460 here.
Australia gets both the Prado and the big Land Cruiser 200. Both very popular
Agree Thomas! 22:30 the 'Hill Descent' sounded quite Star Wars-like! But I think I'd go for the top-spec car, if I was rich - which I'm not! Many thanks.
This is the Barbie version of the real Land Cruiser.
The Lexus GX460 gets a 4.6L V8 Petrol Engine. The Land-cruiser Prado gets a 2.8L turbo Diesel & a 4.0L V6 petrol Engine.
Toyota could have done away with the el-cheapo Jeep vertical grille treatment, the Land Cruiser brand is so much better than that.
Top review Brian.
I love the commercials on this commercial
سيارة رائعة جدا
I like how European car journos like to assume that the only Africans who buy Prados are South Africans.
The Prado is extremely popular in Nigeria, it's virtually the post popular SUV in Nigeria by far. It's also very popular in Namibia and so many other African countries.
Ni Njue by the way its beacuse there is a white tribe in there.
They should come to Kenya and see how they're paraded by our corrupt politicians
Because it's the most westernized country in Africa
Which is it: The Toyota is VERY high or he is increadably short? Or does it have a lift kit?
I hope the interior design will change to more luxerius looks. better in performance as well as interior design land cruiser will be at the top if it is happen. Nice and honest review
Thanks keep following us!
This Prado has an optional rear door mounted spare tyre, and it comes with a 150l fuel tank... Only on the 4.0 V6.
I always loved Land Cruisers, my favorite was the Prado SWB. I find it off that this is the top spec and yet there are still blank buttons. So apart from this and the new Land Rover Defender what other proper 4x4 are out there, not many.
wrangler and mitso pajero sport
drooling....
I wish they sold this car in the US. We have the full size Land Cruiser here. If you want the Prado you have to get the Lexus version (GX460). The US does however have the smaller Japan-built 4Runner which is a real off-roader. I don't think the 4Runner is sold in many other countries.
how does this compare to the landcruiser amazon size wise like interior space and seating is it as big inside
Both SUVs are 7 seater, the problem is the Landcruiser 150 (the one in the video and also known as Prado) the 2nd row is not as comfortable as the Landcruiser 200 series, the 2nd row middle seat really shreads your ass for long trips. To compensate this we bought a seat sponge but still not comfortable as the seats on the 200 series. 3rd row in the 150 series its good enough for kids and not so tall adults.
Also when using 3rd row you wont get that much of trunk space, so a roof rack is a must for luggage.
This is my opinion as a 150 series user that do some long family trips, about 6 to 12 hours. Also we are a family of 5 but sometimes we are 6 so luggage wont fit at the back when going all 6 people.
On the other side, Landcruiser 200 series its kind of too big for everyday usage, specially if in your country its not commong that vehicles that size and the price of the 200 series , you can buy the lowest trim of the 150 series and a mid size truck for the price of the 200 series :(.
So true, the one who would buy this car won't car about if the interior luxury or not.
15:47 Lexus has been doing that since 2003, but since Toyota owns Lexus, they just transferred that tech from their GX to this. They're essentially the same car, but with different interior and engines.
Regarding the high gloss piano black elements, totally agree with you guys. I have no idea why almost all of the car manufacturers are using this trim for years. I have Skoda Superb III L&K and it has plenty of this shitty black finger prints covered plastics and I hate that. I think no one like it. This kind of trim should be deprecated as soon as possible or at least to be just an option for the piano black trim lovers (I believe 2-3 people on the planet)
This guy is superior to the others!
excellent review brian. this is a hard core offroader, its alot of money though, $70k for something that will be scraping rocks and trees. if it were me, i would have something less expensive to destroy offroad, and a nicer car on road. so max ~$20k for a pajero / landcruiser, something serious with low k's and not too old, under 10 years old. fyi, i just found a 2011 pajero, with the 3.2L turbo diesel, 95k's, excellent condition for $17k. this is the full dakar type 4wd, its serious gear. that leaves heaps for a 'premium' car/suv for on road duties. i found an audi q5, 2016, with 33k's, 2.0L turbo diesel, for $51k, essentially as new condition. leaves $2k for a nice whiskey : )
thx oz!
Sure is nice.
Brian, please do comparison with land rover discovery, on/off road performance, towing capability, cost per 100K km,..... Thankyou
see our Discovery offroad review here: th-cam.com/video/jj5m0lGbsFo/w-d-xo.html
its veri goood waw
Best 4x4 in world.
Good review! Having worked in Africa it is this car and it's bigger brother that I would rather be in in any extreme conditions. Long term running costs and reliability would be better than Land Rover.
thanks keep following us!
This is actually the baby Landcrusier which is known in KSA and Gulf Counteies only as Toyota Prado, when we speak about the Legend of Landcrusier then we mean the bigger one with seats for 9 or 8 person that come as VXR or GXR models either 6 or 8 cylinder one of the most common most practical tough 4 x 4 worldwide , and also as a city car with all capabilities for all kinds of roads, here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia one of the largest market for Landcrusier and other Toyota cars is the No 1 4x4 Car also in all other Gulf Counteies and in Yemen.
In July 2018 the Euro 6 ( ultra low sulfur Diesel ) standards go into effect in Europe & Australia. There is a current ultra low sulfur diesel capacity shortage in both low sulfur feed stock and refineries ( most refineries are set up to process heavy crude ) that currently set up to process sweet crude oil. My personal conclusion is the diesel vehicle market is going to suffer in the price of fuel and the manufactures willing to produce diesel vehicles if there is an Ultra low diesel fuel availability constraints.
What is the tire size? Good truck!
I don't understand the reason for including electric rear seats since you have to remove the parcel shelf manually.
same with the Land Rover Discovery: th-cam.com/video/jj5m0lGbsFo/w-d-xo.html
23:57 LC climbing to the sky.
The British and the Germans have a bias against the landcruiser, more so because the offroading and overlanding culture is not so popular there. So the requirements for a tough, reliable suv is not so prominent. So they opt for lesser reliable and more car based Suvs, like the x5, q7 and some landrover models.
Nice SUV
Looks like you’ve used 2 different coloured vehicles in the review.... army green and a blue one. Totally dig the blue one 👍
Blue one?
You can tell this guys not used to off-roading :D In regards to comfort, perhaps consider this is a vehicle design that has come from being developed for the Australian outback, Africa and the Middle East and the like that often requires you to travel hundreds of kilometres between towns and fuel stops and 1,000's of km's between outback destinations not seeing any other travellers for multiple days on end, the comfort aspects are a huge bonus if you can afford them. Its not like travelling in the US where you have long distances but they have huge wide perfectly corrugated roads, its a vehicle designed to deal reliably with mud, ruts, rivers, sand and the extreme heat of these destinations, you see very few Land Rovers or Merc vehicles in Outback Australia, they just aren't reliable enough, its either Toyota Land Cruisers or Nissan Patrol's because of their true off road capabilities and decades old reliability.
I liked this review, spot on about not pretending to be something it shouldn't be, must be said the fancy crawl control is not even an option on the lower spec models in the UK which is annoying, the base model LR Disco gets the full off road credentials, I think Toyota missed a step there. Having said all that, for the amount of these they will sell in the UK it's a miracle they still even bother trying!
thanks Lee !
Note: Car actually has two batteries (16:45sec mistake)
I need to buy a 7 seats car...
Which is better for me...Audi Q7 or Land Cruiser?
Almost time used in Highways
Saludos de España
If you have the budget then land cruiser, if not Prado will also do for a 7 seater. The third row is suitable for adults as well.
Thank you for reviewing this car. Good job! Can you tell me if there is an option available in which the spare tire is mounted on the back door? Because I think that the rear looks much better with that.
cheers! Well I guess the reason for the side-flip rear door is that you can get it
If you want to jump in the vehicle covered in mud then you buy the lower basic models that have more suitable interior finishings.
Which better & nicer
NEDAL SHARAH i think Prado is a cut ahead of Fortuner, the later has its class and good or bad in its own ways. Prado is ahead
Prado is the best
I wonder how much it costs to replace that mecanism that moves the steering wheel automatically when you start the car.
You can get a 4.6L V8 in the Lexus version of this car. Great engine.
First time i saw a Toyota suv that has flat fold 3rd row seats its ussually hang up to the window and it consume so much space and useless cargo space. where is it Available?
