Outputs have increased, now standing at 130kW and 420Nm (450Nm for the auto), up from 127kW and 410Nm of the 3.0L. Economy ratings stand at 8.0L/100km for automatic and 7.9L/100km for the manual. Toyota says the diesel engine, which replaces the outgoing 3.0-litre model, features a new turbocharger which is 30 per cent smaller, allowing it to spool up 50 per cent faster, facilitating a reduction in engine capacity and fuel consumption. To keep the Prado fresh Toyota has just announced a series of updates for 20, including a pair of new six-speed automatic and manual gearboxes, a revised petrol V6, and an all-new 2.8-litre turbo-diesel which, in addition to the transmissions, will be shared with the new HiLux and Fortuner. The Prado has reported 11,446 sales so far this year, while its nearest rival, the Kluger, was picked up by 10,478 buyers. But the Prado has come back swinging this year, leading the “Below $70,000 Large SUV” segment in Australia by a considerable margin. In the last decade it has seen off threats from crossovers such as Ford’s ground-breaking and passenger-car-oriented Territory, as well as some in-house competition from the Kluger.
