And today we want to introduce this model to you, can come from the Toyota family's classic tough guy off-road SUV - Prado, a Japanese car that has created many legends in the domestic market.
In terms of appearance, the new car has changed the sharpness of the previous "publicity", but it is a rounded and simplified design, so that the overall style is more exquisite and fashionable. The design of the large area of U-shaped mesh + through-type chrome decorative strips still reveals a certain domineering, and the headlights on both sides are also full LED light sources, and the lighting effect has been improved.
Sitting in the car, the Prado 2018 3.5L Automatic TX-L adopts a two-tone interior shape, the shape is very gentle, and is decorated with wood textured veneers, of which the console adopts a left-right symmetrical design for easy driver control, using soft materials for hemming, in the equipment, this car is equipped with tire pressure display, cruise control, front/rear parking radar, knee airbags, on-board refrigerators, etc. With an 8-inch touch LCD screen, the shape is more fashionable.
In terms of body size, the original Prado was only 4585mm long and had a wheelbase of 2730mm, which is the size of an entry-level compact SUV today. In addition, because the Prado was born in the Japanese market, its body width has always been very narrow, and the original model was only 1690mm, which is 4mm narrower than the honda Fit currently on sale. However, due to its own non-load-bearing body structure, and in order to improve the space inside the car, the height of the original Prado reached 1885mm, which is a typical "thin and tall" body shape of Japanese cars in the last century.
From the rear of the car, the design of the tail is relatively stable, the smooth grain makes it look more recognizable, and it is decorated with decorative tapes in the details to add an intuitive tail luxury atmosphere. The simple vertical shape makes the shape of the rear of the car more recognizable.
