I agree, new diesels have nowhere near the longevity of things like the TD42 or the 1HZ/1HD. I’d actually have the petrol 6 over the new 2.8, but theyve discontinued it now, so that disappoints me.
it is not about going wrong. it is about what will change around you.(already lacking lane assist and auto parking) that you would want to have or forgo
Yeah, I have it on good authority from a toyota mechanic that the 2.8’s are having some pretty serious issues. I really was looking forward to seeing the 1UR in the new gen, but they axed it.
wow the front end looks so muscular now. Liked the previous one, but now i like it even better! thank god i held back from buying one last year when there was a massive sale for one since i wanted to keep my landcruiser. now i might just be able to let the LC go and get one of these. But if only toyota will give us a v6 tt diesel or maybe even the V8 diesel in these prado. if they did that, i would buy it in a heart beat!
Louie Lambretta because doing 25l per 100km is not fun. So much to the point that its a garage queen. In the past 9 years of owning her, I have driven just over 30k Kms on it.
Louie Lambretta because it actually does way better fuel economy than the v8 petrol land cruiser. I know that it can actually achieve 15 l per 100km since my mates land cruiser does that. Once in a while. Though you're right, it might not make sense at all since they can still be thirsty.
Daniel Cox What do you mean? For me diesel is better for off-roading with Its low down torque rather than having a v6/v8 petrol Which needs to be higher in the rev range to get the same or similar torque numbers
@@danielcox4398 Australians love our diesels. As you heard 98% of Prado sales are Diesel. Even the big brother Cruiser is sold almost only with diesels. And then. Wht not Diesel?
So, is it better in terms of ride quality and body control than the outgoing ? And, if yes, why? I like how your words flow naturally. Promising presenter.
I drive a 2014 Kakadu, has the same suspension as the new one so I can't see why it would be better. But it doesn't need to be ..! It's a great car to drive.
It seems caradvice has eased off the crappy music. This is good, please continue. The video seems a shit tonne better now in terms of production quality.
Just bought mine, the TXL version 2020 , it amazes me how cheap they are in other countries. IN Colombia the TXL version is 70K while the VX version is worth 85k-95k.
What an awesome truck. I really hope Toyota brings this to the USA. Compared to the Lexus GX460 the body styling is better, has better off-road angels, has a rear locker and likely available at a slightly lower price point.
How come its magically gone out to 3t towing. Vehicle towing capacity is, quote: ''a factor of its engine size, brakes, weight, transmission, tyres, bearing, chassis & suspension. What's changed here from the previous model please???????
Im confused, the title says its 2020 toyota prado kakadu but when i read the description it says its a 2018 toyota prado kakadu, which one is exactly true??
I won't diss the Prado in any parameter but coming to spending money, I bought a pajero sport for more than 20k less. In strict dollar terms I could not justify the premium Prado provides for 20 thousand dollars
I noticed you lost your front number plate. Did this happen while wading through water? This happens to me too on my Pajero. You'd think manufacturers would have designed something to prevent this by now. Maybe they're assuming [incorrectly] drivers who takes then offroad would get bullbars.
this is what is called built like a tank.. everthing looks like it will last 4ever.. good family car for both off road and for on road.. only thing its lacking is android auto and apple car play..
20 litre per 100 km? I've a 2013 Prado 3 litre diesel and I regularly get 8 litres per 100 km's indicated on my trip computer, highest its been was about 15 but that's with a 2 ton trailer in tow!
The off road settings are simply too many. It's been a problem since Toyota introduced the MTS. They should try making the system more integrated as Land Rover does.
Its almost the same, the Lexus GX 460 is based on Land Cruiser Prado 150 series, the engine its different (Lexus comes with a 4liter (i dont remember the exact size, V8 Engine) while this comes with a 3.0 4Cylinder Turbo Diesel, but this varies on the maket you getting it from, in Guatemala we luckily dont have the 2.8 Turbo Diesel on the Prado, since its been know to feel less powerful due to Torque generation. Also in my country we dont have the Kakadu trimline since it would compete with the Lexus GX460 that we do have on the Market.
@@nandoedwin1 Its 4.6 V8, ive been searching this Toyota Prado, the most luxury model of this in Latin América its called VX.L i think it means Limited, its beautifull, has 4 cameras like mine air suspension, even a cooller center box, wich my doesn't :( i think i like more this Prado then my GX LOL.
It doesnt look weird anymore. Like the styling
yvse vyse agreed
yvse vyse it never did
True.... The earlier headlights were a fang toothed horror
yvse vyse optional access hydraulic pump adjust crank to back hatch
Probably because we are used to its looks now...
I think Toyota should put a bit more money into their center screens.
They should add Anidroid Auto!
Cool James q
No
Screens are irrelevant
You just need buttons
Screens in cars are dumb
@@hairynoongatoes7368 says the guy with a fortnite pfp
Yea also better interior
It's expensive, but then you can drive this thing for the next 20 years and nothing will go wrong.
An old myth. Plenty of issues with the 2.8TD in the Prado.
Well, your welcome to buy a Land Rover or Jeep product. LoL.

why do you want a prado over a landcrusier?
Louie Lambretta because doing 25l per 100km is not fun. So much to the point that its a garage queen. In the past 9 years of owning her, I have driven just over 30k Kms on it.

You know you can get a v8 diesel which is whats in a landcruiser
Prado Not only towing 3000 kg it's emotionally towing it's lovers around the world.
If Toyota would do a 6 cylinder diesel this would be perfect. Look forward to trying this new model though.
jbk94 they did for years, in the 80 series cruiser up to the last of the 100 series.
why diesel??? smh
Crashryding A revised version of that engine would be great in this one!

Wht not Diesel?
Yes, I love the bronze colour for this vehicle.
My brother Prado is Superb in reliability and offroad
He is the one who taught us how to walk on mud and drink salt water.
They don't get their parts donored like us
A 3.5 or 3.7 diesel would be perfect for this car

Flawless? Are you kidding me?
I love it! I wanna buy immediately !
it is 2019 now. this video was uploaded in 2017?
Love the Prado
This is the best review i have ever seen👍
Thanks!
I keeps hearing prada instead of prado.
This is the handbag of the four-wheel drive world.
Buy Prada and get prado for free.

Yo! Seth! Thank you for inventing family guy and the simpsons!
Wait it has the same engine as the hilux and heavier. Its good, but the engine is somewhat lacking tho.
The engine is pathetic. Way too small. Boosting small engines isn't the answer. We want more cylinders!
Buy just the landcruiser
I have the Fortuner with the same engine. I think this is underpowered
I love the look of it :D I think its Toyota's best LandCruiser now.
the best suv in the world
It seems caradvice has eased off the crappy music. This is good, please continue. The video seems a shit tonne better now in terms of production quality.
I dont quite like the look of the Land Cruiser but this new Prado looks really good!
I always love it when Seth Macfarlene (😂) does a review; always informative and educative👍👍👍
Also, who knew Seth was an Aussie😂😂😂
Ha ha, thanks!
I love the prados
Edit. The best car ever
This prado is good but the best prado is definitely the 120 series prado
Jason Voorhees yep for some reason the 120 has a huge following.
That’s also the ugliest Prado ever.
@@sergiupuscasu2496 front is fine just hate something about the back

Great presenter
Thanks :-)
Was thinking the same thing.
I like the fridge 👌
Toyota Land cruiser Prado than V8 these cars rocks and will rock forever!
What an awesome truck. I really hope Toyota brings this to the USA. Compared to the Lexus GX460 the body styling is better, has better off-road angels, has a rear locker and likely available at a slightly lower price point.
What about the dpf issues???
Canada needs more Prados and Land Cruisers.
love the prado, but why won't toyota put a panoramic sun/moon roof in there?
That feature will make the top range model worth your money if Toyota did put in a sunroof.
How’s its ride?
Brilliant Review, the new model is better than the previous...
I like the way this guy does his reviews
Awesome performance and good quality Toyota cars and I have questions to you why do you spell prada it's Prado bro🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you do a comparison between the Prado and Pajero sport
Gino Barrera got a Pajero Sport lots of safety features good to drive and cheaper too!
Pajero sport ftw my guy👌🏽
Yeah - protect the main beam light at all costs. It does not matter if one of the sides of your jeep is missing once you can see where your going.
true - like they expect to crash the side mostly
I have a Lexus 570 planning to get a land cruiser after this
I love the new look, perhaps even more than the Sahara. Shame they cant seem to get the entertainment system right. I love the colour.
You should do a review on the Toyota Prado GX manual
Thanks for the video 👍🏽 would it be worth to get the newer Ldv d90 or ssangyong Rexton? Or would it better to get the 2018 prado?
Thank you
Which better & nice : Prado 2018 vs Fortuner 2018 ??
Is is available in USA
Theres only one way to find out, let me check my wallet.
Rob the bank
Needs a 6cyl. Can buy a VX Landcruiser 200 for same price as Kakadu. They are nice to drive though
Good looking car nice design and updated.
would a passport ground clearance handle these?
How come its magically gone out to 3t towing. Vehicle towing capacity is, quote: ''a factor of its engine size, brakes, weight, transmission, tyres, bearing, chassis & suspension. What's changed here from the previous model please???????
Is the manual option available?
Thank man for the information and advice
700mm wading for 2016 Prado as well? Or only 2018?
Im confused, the title says its 2020 toyota prado kakadu but when i read the description it says its a 2018 toyota prado kakadu, which one is exactly true??
Awesome ride! Well presented !
Thank you for using me :)
Share I use here in Africa
I lost count how many times he said it’s fantastic
I have my 2000 model prado and still performs very vell.
u mean the maximum ground clearance is not 218mm? as you can raise the car?
Price of thr kakadu in Australia?
Can i ask how much is the car cost ?👍👍👍
Lexus gonna rebadge this as the new GX ?
Yup lol
tseng jessica There are rumors around saying that the new GX will be based on a newer platform..
Yes but more luxury
only 130 kW?

Helo! The Prado 2.8 D4D? Euro6 Adblue?
Love that Aussies accent
20 liter per 100 km
this is insane
i make 2000 km every month and need to fill the tank every 500 km which cost me near 400 USD per month

@@adriand1401 you dont have the 2.8 disaster of an engine
Is this Toyota LC Prado been updated to not be so underpowered on the highway? That's my main problem.
The off road settings are simply too many. It's been a problem since Toyota introduced the MTS. They should try making the system more integrated as Land Rover does.
I just bought a Haval H9, pretty much the same car for half the price and 7 year warranty..
Hi please I need ur help my prado indicTor distracts my music when I show the indicator how do I disable that?
We don't think you can? Pretty sure the indicator is more important than your music though.
No mention of the DPF, plus why do they continue with the a rear swing door?
How much is the car
Toyota should make 3l v6 diesel motor for prado n hilux n hiace
You wrong it looks great
Great review
My dad got 4.0L version

I came to this channel just to see the cars we dont get in the US. This looks familiar to my Lexus GX 460.

Exactly....my 2.7L fortuner has the same engine and this weighs 200kg more
Could you please do a review on the Toyota Prado GX
Don't they have roads in Australia? Every aussie 4X4 road test seems to assume everyone will want to climb to the summit of krakatoa in it!.
Stephen Flaherty because if you don’t want to take it off road Toyota make the seven seat Kluger.
they keep using the same tracks and that pool for every ad they do for every new cars
+Simon Law They’re reviews, not ads. And, we’ve never used this facility before.
240V adapter, seriously?
no need to get an inverter anymore, save money on dual battery systems etc.
They have had the 240 adaptor since 2009. You will still need a 2nd battery as the inverter only works when the car is running
Welcome to the 21st century.
It's also only 100 watt, cant run shit off it (In my 2012 unit anyways)
Try the LDV d90, they have that as half the cost.
don't get over excited!! only 110 watts
Thank God they got rid of those ugly headlights, new one looks great. Looking forward to seeing one with all the off road fruit on it.
Agree. Those looked like fangs, hideous
Can you review "2020 Toyota LandCruiser Sahara", please!

Does it have manual transmission
Buying a patrol I think. It’s a bit excessive but they undercooked the engine in this wagon.
