I'll NEVER review a 2.7 - it's really the worst engine Toyota makes, awful power, and the fuel consumption is no better and in some cases actually worse than the 4.0 V6. I'm this upset because I used to own one back in the early '00s and it legit scarred me for life LOL
If you're going to just "keep skipping and moving on because it looks like a Land Cruiser" why bother doing the review in the first place? You need to be more objective and speak less about what you feel.
Speak less what about we feel? That's the definition of subjectivity, the basis of any good review. If all you're looking for is a brochure listing of all the features, go to www.toyota.com.
@@MotoringMiddleEast listen to advise when given,be objective and keep personal intimations out of the review, eg you said you don't care about the hind screens because you don't have kids! What about someone who has them and is wondering how it works??
I saw this review.. Brought the same car, same color, same limited edition.. 2019 model.. In Dubai.. The car is awesome and much more premium than other variants.. Loving it for the last 6 months..
Lol you are bashing the toyota and complementing it at the same time... Be real!! And don't compare toyotas to jeep it's not fair even rangrovers toyotas are practical even who can buy range rover skip them for a LAND CRUISER.
Great review brother Would like to know how good are the ventilated front seats Do they actually feel cold on a hot day or its just a marketing gimmick ? Thank you :)
you haven't even open the bonnet and kept going on and on speaking about the car!! by the way, this car comes in to engine option, first is one is v6, and the second one comes with v4 . so lets hear about v4 >
What's there to see under the hood? The same V6 in every toyota truck? The other engine isn't a V4, it's an in-line. And considering that the 2.7 is one of the very slowest vehicles I've ever owned, definitely won't be testing it!
This car is amazing. We have it here in Europe as well, but it’s only available with a 2.8 liter Diesel engine with 177hp and 450nm. It’s offered with a 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic transmission. If you want the petrol engines, you go to mother Russia, they have both 2.7, 4.0 petrols and the 2.8 diesel. Personally, I go to Gibraltar and buy 95 horsepower communist-spec non-turbo diesel that has top speed of 120 and accelerates 0 to 100kph in 19 seconds. Long Live Lenin.
@@MotoringMiddleEast This is a car review -and you are very biased.Anyone watching this video will hate the car because of the way you talk-which is very very negative.Go learn how to do a review, sunroofs are good for aeration, fresh air and the views.You dont even know why companies use sunroofs and yet you call yourself a reviewer? according to you, convertibles should not even be made huh?
@@goldenboyi1989 As a professional presenter on TV radio and stage for a decade and not someone commenting from behind a keyboard, I am very, very amused by this comment! LOL
@@MotoringMiddleEast so you reply to a comment that is almost a year old? and you say you are a professional? Does it also take you a year to do your TV assignments?
If you understood how youtube works, you'd know comments don't get flagged up - and I've better things to do (except in the last hour) than sift through 800+ videos looking for the occasional missed comments. I don't know who's more bored here, me for replying or you replying back after a year LOL
The older one was ugly AF. At least the 2014-2017 facelift. Thank God it now looks like a Land Cruiser. The old one looked like it’s taillights were melting, which they actually were because, you know, plastic.
Is it worth spending that kind of money and going for the 4.0L engine option or 2.7L is adequate? I saw the figures on the brochure and to put things into perspective, 164 hp and 250 Nm of Torque is nothing to manoeuvre a seven seater heavy brute like the Prado. However, I am waiting for your opinion and take on that car to know if it drives smoothly and feels refined and well poised even at higher speeds. BTW, what were those rattling sounds in your car ?
MotoringMiddleEast Thanks for the prompt answer. Can you describe more of the difficulties you faced during the ownership of the 2.7 ? I would also like to know how much exactly is the difference in mileage between the two engine options and is it advisable to go for one in the used car market ? Also, which other models can prove to be formidable alternatives to the Prado ?
It's worse on gas than the 4.0, has frankly appalling power delivery, and is just terrible to drive. It only (sorta) works in light cars like the Fortuner, but is overwhelmed by the heavier Prado. Don't buy one! I can't be more clear. For alternatives - try the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot or Mazda CX-9. The Sante Fe/Sorento make good alternatives as well.
MotoringMiddleEast fake SUVs can’t replace the Prado. Crossovers are for mothers and large families. It doesn’t really have alternatives. Maybe the Jeep Wrangler, but that is too unreliable for Middle East drives. I like your opinion on the 2.7 Prado, my father had one and it was very sluggish. Thankfully he switched to a 4.0 after one year, it was much better.
@@MotoringMiddleEast thanks. I like V6 or even a V8 but Patrol and Landcruiser will be too big for me. I am looking for onroad comfort as well good off roading machine. Can u pls suggest me a good vehicle. We r 5 in the 👪 family. Regards.
Hi I have a 2013 V6 Prado. I have done 2 inch suspension lift. I have 2 questions Firstly should central difflock be engaged in desert drives and at what speed I can drive in desert with central difflock engaged? Secondly, I have stock tires 265/65r17. I want to upgrade to all terrain tires. Should I stick with 265/65 or go for 265/70? I have heard increasing tire size effects the pick up power and speedometer and odometer. Pls advise Sir
Earlier you said you would put bigger wheels probably 17 inch, and later on at 17:50 you say it's on 18 inch stock!!! , Any way, great off road review, thanks.
@@MotoringMiddleEast it doesnt matter-you complain too much as others have said.complaining about iphone 10 and worst of all-COMPLAINING about a sunroof in a car? DUH?? I would never buy a car without a sunroof.You dont know anything about cars really

Can you please review 2.7l prado????
I heard it's fuel efficiency is very bad like bad compared to even some v6 suvs????

Like the 4.0l V6 Patrol and even the new generation Chevy Tahoe 5.3l V8 is more efficient than 2.7l Prado.
such a negative guy in all his videos. Dislike from me for sure
I liked it and you're still calling me negative? Nice.
Prados and Pajeros are the daal and chawal of the automotive world. Simple yet satisfying yet boring at the same time, sadly.
Pajero is the 14-year old Chawal, at this point...

And to add onto that, try avoid comparing it to a range or the jeep. Don't forget, it is only a prado...
Sean Harvey its a PRADO and its a damn big deal when compared to fake suvs like the rangey which break down after 1 year or so...
@@seanharvey7918 it is not a Prado my friend. It is the Prado,which is the best suv in the world!

Where am I bashing it? It's much improved for what is really a fairly minor update.
Great review brother
Would like to know how good are the ventilated front seats
Do they actually feel cold on a hot day or its just a marketing gimmick ?
Thank you :)
They work pretty well actually
Automatics might be better but, it's boring. Too easy!
We agree!
Bought a 2018 prado vxr influenced by this video, superb machine on and off road. Thanks for the review
you haven't even open the bonnet and kept going on and on speaking about the car!! by the way, this car comes in to engine option, first is one is v6, and the second one comes with v4 . so lets hear about v4 >

The 1gr fe is very reliable.
There is noi V4. It is in line 4 cylinder and V6. He did mentioned about it. 4 Cyl is useless.
What should be the maximum speed on sand with central difflock engaged at 4H on Prado 150?

Finally a great review where you drive off-road and give recommendations and talk to people like we are there. Very good!
Prado is the best
can you please review a pajero
We'll try
MotoringMiddleEast what, you think it’s not worth your time? 😂
Haven't driven one in a very long time - so who know?
review the patrol super safari please and how to up the power without breaking your bank?
Make a review on the newest prado adventure 4.0l looks stunning
It works with all my iPhones including iPhone X or 8
what a car love this car
My dad has this....but the gxr 4l v6
Good driving off-raod
Thanks, appreciate that!

What a stupid comment to try and compare a prado to a shit box jeep or volvo.
Every car's got their place...and Prado buyers know what they're getting.
I think there should be a v8
It needs a 2" fox lifts and BF Goodrich AT Tyres.
Who knows this position?
مزبوط نفر، thank you
Not wasting too much time... still ended up with 20 minutes video...
Lol people complain if they're too short, people complain if they're too long...

Does the 2018 Prado VXR variant has MTS & Crawl System??
Yep on the top model

Hello, may I ask where exactly in qudra did you film this? Thx
This is just off the main straight coming from the roundabout after the bicycle roundabout
Like the older look WAAYYYY more. This looks like a watered-down Landcruiser. And that adjective is never a compliment.

the 2.7-litre engine is in no way adequate - buy the 4.0 or don't buy a Prado. I can say this because I owned a 2.7 Prado, and it was awful!

Would you pick a Lexus Gx over Prado?
No, the Prado is lighter, the V8 isn't any better on performance, and the current GX Bumper is useless offroad without cutting or replacement.
