AutoExec Summary
The 2025 Toyota Prado has been revealed with new powertrain details, showcasing improved fuel economy figures compared to its predecessor. While the order book will open in late August, vehicle deliveries have been delayed to the fourth quarter of 2024, potentially extending wait times for customers. Despite price increases, the new diesel-powered SUV is expected to be a success, with Toyota predicting orders in the tens of thousands. The use of a 48-volt mild-hybrid system in the vehicle’s turbo-diesel engine contributes to its improved fuel efficiency. The Prado also features a 2.4-liter turbo-petrol hybrid powertrain overseas, though it may not be available in Australia. Toyota highlights the Prado’s fuel consumption reductions in urban environments and lower speeds, with a theoretical highway cruising range of over 1500km thanks to its 110-liter diesel fuel tank. Additionally, the Prado will require AdBlue for reduced diesel emissions, marking the first Toyota product in Australia to do so.
