The suspension of the Toyota Prado has indeed caught many riders off guard, and for a long time, the second-hand Prado has become a "financial weapon"! This is enough to explain how popular the Prado is in the country! Perhaps seeing such a "crazy" situation, Toyota has also accelerated the replacement process of the Prado. Just recently, Toyota also officially unveiled the concept map of the fifth generation prado, from Toyota's past style, this set of concept maps is very illustrative, and the engine and gearbox it matches have official text descriptions, basically waiting for official announcements.
According to the information in front, the fifth-generation Prado and the new Land Cruiser have also designed two versions, namely the regular version and the GR Sport version, and the front face of the two cars has undergone obvious changes. The sporty Prado grille has eliminated the vertical shape, and the entire internal structure is more complex, including the shape on both sides of the grille is very similar to the Land Cruiser, including the headlights of the new car are completely homogenized. The regular version of the Prado continues the design concept of the classic version, the waterfall grille is still equipped, but it has become larger in size, the headlights on both sides are short and powerful, and the dart-style running lights bring a sense of dreaminess! If it is a small editor's choice, it is obvious that the second car is more in line with the aesthetic of the small editor.
From the side of the entire car, the new Prado is also very similar to the new Land Cruiser, such as the elimination of the regular waist line. The entire side design is placed on the front and rear wheels and wheel hubs, bringing more fresh elements, and we also noticed that the A-pillar B-pillar and C-pillar of the new car are all blackened, which is also perfect in this detail. On the rear, the taillights are replaced by opposing "L" shapes, and the entire rear surround is perfectly connected with the body, which should be an interpretation of the elements of the future.
In terms of interiors, if you know more about the new Land Cruiser, the interior of the fifth-generation Prado will give people a familiar feeling. The interior of the new car adopts a large-size suspension central control screen, and will provide a full LCD dashboard, and the configuration function has been greatly increased with the model movement, and the stylish appearance match is relatively high! The interior of the sports version should not be too different from the regular version, of course, in the end, it is still subject to the listing.
Powerly, the new car will match two sets of powertrains, namely 2.5L D-4S self-priming engine and a 2.8T four-cylinder diesel engine, and the matching gearbox has been officially replaced by Direct Shift-CVT, but the official explanation is that this CVT is different from the conventional CVT, this gearbox with a gear, that is, compatible with the longitudinal chassis and four-wheel drive system, and better hold the vehicle starting, out of the trap of the large torque. The four-wheel drive has also been replaced by a time-sharing four-wheel drive, so in terms of off-road ability, it is basically a "self-deprecating martial art", of course, in terms of appearance and feelings, it can still support this car! What are you looking forward to for this new Prado!
