The\npetrol-fed behemoth is a stunning SUV on road and comes with a very powerful\n3.0L I-4 engine and is affordable only to a few. It is a large and the most\ncapable SUV on our soil and has all the latest technologies available in a\nluxury car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prado\nhas a monster engine; under the SUV\u2019s hood is a meaty 2982 cc (3.0L) I-4,\n16-valve, Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) engine that knocks out 170 bhp @ 3400\nrpm and generates 410 Nm @ 1600-2800 rpm. The engine breathes through Toyota\u2019s\nDiesel Intercooler Turbocharger, which boosts the output from the engine.There is\nplenty of power at all rpms; most of it would be sparingly used under normal\ndriving conditions. The Prado will very easily leave others trailing behind\neven on the highway; the monster sprints to 100 km\/h in just 9.5 seconds and\nits top speed is 188 km\/h. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n5-speed automatic is really soft and features full-time all-wheel drive with\ntransfer modes. The automatic transmission shows no shift lags and is always in\nthe right gear. The central differential distributes power to all wheels, based\non the stress exerted on the wheels hence making it the perfect car for the\nperfect trip especially across Africa. To top it all, the Prado is a\nfun-to-drive, off-road SUV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is\nhuge, looks sturdy but still very easy on the eye. The Prado is a head turner\nin any city and leaves others trailing behind on the highway. It has beefy\nlooks, yet is contemporary in design. It has huge wrap-around headlamps; the\nvertical slat grille is symmetrical with the fog lamps and air dam. The bulged\nfenders and side dressing give Prado that masculine look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ninteriors are no less than those of a luxury car; it has spacious seats and\nroom for passengers of all sizes. The dash is nicely designed to provide\nconvenience to the driver; all controls are easy to operate and gauges are easy\nto read. It is a bit awkward to get in but once you get nestled in the seat,\nyou get a commanding view of road and exemplary feel of the ergonomically\ndesigned cockpit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nsteering is quite firm in terms of grip and with a little pressure on the pedal\nin city limits, you can zip ahead in no time. All the three rows get AC ducts;\ndistribution of temperature is uniform and individual controls are also\navailable. The engine sounds as quiet as a baby from inside. There is\nabsolutely no vibration inside the cabin. All features on the Prado are\nstandard and it gets top-of-the-line safety features too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
