AutoExec Summary
The 2024 Toyota Prado will be the first diesel model from the Japanese car giant in Australia to require emissions-reducing AdBlue additive. AdBlue is a liquid additive used to reduce harmful pollutants from the exhausts of diesel-powered vehicles. It has long been widespread in European diesel cars, but is becoming increasingly common among models from Japanese and US brands. The new Prado will be fitted with a 17.4-litre AdBlue tank in Australia, alongside the regular 110-litre diesel tank. The new model is powered by a 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine and is aided by 48-volt electrical components with auto engine stop-start tech.
Brands mentioned: Toyota, Ford, Mitsubishi.
