2024 Toyota Prado review: Kakadu | 4WD test for LandCruiser 150 Series before new LC250 arrives!

The 2024 Toyota Prado – or LandCruiser 150 Series – still has some life in it yet, with its LC250 successor not set to go on sale in Australia until the middle of next year. Point being, buyers are still paying for the privilege of owning the tried-and-true 4WD – but should they be waiting for the new model instead? After all, the LC250 is promising to be the generational leap that the Prado series has sorely need for years now. However, buyers Down Under won't be getting the full hybrid option some other markets are getting, meaning the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine carries over as the sole choice, albeit with the addition of mild-hybrid technology. In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Marcus Craft puts the current Prado's Kakadu flagship through its paces on- and off-road to find out if it's still a good buy with a presumably improved replacement on the horizon. #Toyota #LandCruiser #Prado #review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:34 Pricing and features 01:14 Design 01:45 Practicality 02:49 Under the bonnet 03:17 Off-road driving 07:28 Efficiency 08:12 Safety 08:34 Ownership 08:44 Verdict -- Read Marcus' full review: https://bit.ly/45hTvgM Check out our LandCruiser Prado hub: https://bit.ly/3oVkcYQ Find more 7 seat SUVs: https://bit.ly/48Emiin Visit our adventure guide: https://bit.ly/3n6sBrP -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/carsguide Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carsguide.australia Follow our Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/carsguideaus Follow our TikTok profile: https://www.tiktok.com/@carsguide.com.au Follow our Twitter profile: https://www.twitter.com/CarsGuide Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carsguide-com-au
