As pointed out by Akif, one of our readers, a real photo of the 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado has been leaked onto the internet. The photo appears to be real, and has “internal use only” marked across it.
The 2010 Toyota Prado seems to be following the styling pattern set by the bulbous new-for-2008 Land Cruiser. Engine choices should be very similar to the current offerings, including an upgraded 2.7-litre 4-cylinder and a variation of the existing 4.0-litre V6.
The current version is actually a rather flawless design, but it is so common that it is now as eye-catching as a garbage-bin, no matter how much their owners paid for one. The upcoming new model features hit-and-miss styling, but it should be fresh for at least a year, before it becomes invisible again. Expect a UAE launch by the end of this year.
Update: Visit the Toyota Prado buyer guide for UAE prices and GCC specs.
I agree. These guys are probable KIA and Hyundai Employees (cant imagine a Fan club for them unless they live in some third world country, no offence). Makes you wonder what benefits these guys from saying nonsense like ppl buy these cars ONLY if they have no brains or only for its resale value??? And it suprises me that these guys have been on this website for soo long. You would have thought that they would have learnt something by now.
I agree that its also the resale value which attracts the buyers but the factors governing the resale price is the combination of Reliability, Performance, Design, etc. How in the world otherwise would it have a resale value… Sheesh!
You drive one of these dont you??!! lol..so defensive..
I mean I don’t get it, now the new Prado looks so much like its brother the Land Cruiser. But whats the point, same Make, and two models that are quiet similar. It even looks big, like the LC, even the outside is the same. And the tail lights, damn they’re ugly. That whiteness (reverse lights) that Japanese cars use is pretty ugly, they should start minimizing it…
o’ well, luckily im not a SUV fan, just have the monster Wrangler for the desert, and my lovely Evo for day and track use.
Realy this cars wonderfull.why this cars still not publish in europe.!How can keep this as scret for sale.as my knowlege in soth asia normarl peoples can’t buy becouse of the hevy tax and duty,But politican with duty free permid thy surly buy.as normarl peoples can watch and injoye.may be 3 -4 years later normarl peoples could bye ..!
@ Asad: If you look at other articles you will see that I have praised other cars (not just hyundai-Kias). Infact I even praised the new 4Runner which is a toyota. the prado is truly ugly.
and how it gets a resale value? well, in the past. toyota had some really amazing cars for the time and thats where they built their reputation but once they reached the top, they dont care about their cars cuz they know ppl will just buy it for the name and resale value.
-
but it’s changing now. looking at the new 4Runner, I think toyota is starting to focus on the factors that made it so successful in the first place.
Guys, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!!!!!
Anyway, I think the old version looks much better not because I own one!!). Yes it is pretty basic at that price but the fact is Prado is a very practical vehicle (except for the price of course), it is good for everyday cruising, little bit of off-roading, good ground clearance etc. This is my fourth year and I have clocked 65K on it,and it has been very reliable and served pretty well. I think I will use it for may be another 2-3 years!
BUT I think I should have gone for the Nissan Pathfinder (old model)at the time I bought this. I would swap mine with the old Pathfinder any time!!!
@BJD Boris… Whatever helps u sleep at night KIA boy
@ Asad…. You really need to see your langauge, a bit offensive, i agree with @ BJD Boris/ He is very logical and positive unlike you in communication too.
If you like then go ahead dont be pissed off.
hahahahhaa
We have a 2004 Lexus GX 470 SUV. I call it
a glorified Toyota 4Runner(US version).
But it is really is wonderful luxury suv. It
appears to have the same body panels
as the 2009 Prado. The GX has a cooler front facia
& hidden spare tire. I suspect that the
new Lexus will have same body as the
2010 Prado. No more add on plastic fender
molding & trim. Flares are stamped into
sheet metal on 2010. I like it.
it really isnt worth talking to you die-hard fans. anything thts toyota is good to y’all. no matter how ugly or boring they look. the only toyotas that really look good are the FJ and new 4Runner.
BJD,IMO even FJ sucks, with all that faux interior!!!!!! And 4Runner is not here!!!!!
i know 4RUnner is not sold here. Toyota hates us or probably knows that Prado’s too ugly for US so they dump it here.
FJ, is Form-over-Function. looks good but not functional or practical and yea its interior is over-done with the ‘funky’ theme.
alright, so its only the 4runner that looks good (and the older models of the 90’s (for their time)) but since, 4runner is the very latest from toyota, it seems they might be improving.
I saw a Toyota Highlander in the US, also looks good, but I don’t think it is a real off-roader. I guess it is a crossover. True, none of the better models never land in this part of the world!! The other issue is here we have to go for the dealer prescribed set of options, nothing more nothing less. Unlike in the US where you get the base model and you get to add the options you want (of course at a price!!!).
BJD (Boris)
Your a toss by the sounds of things, you probley drive an old dodge with a lift kit.
You would’nt know a good four wheel drive (toyota prado) if it run over you.
Happy days!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Days!!!!
I cant bear to hear negative comments re Toyota Prado’s. I have had a 4L petrol for 3 years now and is the absolute best !! Drives well and super comfartable and quiet. More power than a normal person will ever need and I will happily jump in right now and drive to Cape Town (1600km’s). The only thing I dont like about the new model is the shape but for me “Forever Toyota” !! I have owned over 12 new ones for pwersonal and the business since 1992 and have never been dissapointed !!
looking very weel %100
opinion can only pubish once i see the real one and hope that prices would not have been sky high as what rumors are going around. Prado is in the category of vehicle that we call it 7 seater but last 2 seats are so crampy that even kids are un comfortable. I hope this time Toyota must have been provided a lot more leg space in prado that was not there in previous models or else it will be simple disapointment. V6 is ok when someone compare with same category vehicle such as Nissan Pathfinder but still pathfinder has its edge upto the model 2006. i beleive if Nissan would keep the same model in pathfiner and try to produce a bigger version, it would be un beatable but they have made blunder when intoroduced little armaba in shape of Pathfinder 2007 and onwards.
Toyota and Nissan, contact me if you really like to achieve something that u can just dream. I am not expert but have guts to show what need to be done
Well, 2009 Prado VX is a luxury, defensive, reliable car. the engine V6 with 3.5L makes the car run like a wind. While, 2010 Prado at first, i thought it is a cherry car!.
Just We can say a wonderful car
that means toyota is the firest in would.
nice shape and a lot of detail taken from the land crusier i think that a lot of people they will go for this car , me i like it but ofcource we have to buy the category of no. 2 this the min. to get some luxary option if u buy category 3 problem its like everything manual .
Guys…
If Prado was not Gr8.. they would not have so many sales .. unfortunately some dont realize and think their wranglers and evo’s are the best
hiee
we want information about Gr4 prado
hi i saw new model of PRADO. its look similar to LAND CRUISER… i dont know how they make the new model. if u will compare this shape with old one . new shape is nothing as compare to old one . old one has executive look. i love to use TOYOTA but with this shape i will not prefer PRADO as my choice.
Thanks
really its bad looking
Super sure i will change as soon as it reach
iraq sulaimanya
asry markt
We decided to buy a Prado for our Growth in life by all means and the same shall happen by my Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for the good design you have provided
TOYOTA is crap in fact all the japanese cars are crap why pay so much for a lousy 4.0L V6, 7 seater offroder paying more than 140k dhs when you could buy a proper trail rated off roader which looks way better than this piece of shit which comes with a five star safety rating, a 4.7L v8, full time 4wd with low range and 5year/100,000km warranty the 2010 JEEP COMMANDER
JEEPS rule pure fun and satisfaction
i dont know whats good about it, but jap. know how to make cars, but some of them are shit.. plus why the hell do you pay so much and end up with a power windows, a pathetic stereo no leather, no sunroof and lots of other things ( except for the full option model) when you can buy a GMC acadia
Jehan,
HAHAHAHA… funny shit man… nice one. But seriously.. Trail Rated is just a marketing badge on the Jeep lot of vehicles. There are several other vehicles which can pulverize the Jeeps performance off road. How about we challenge the Commander V8 against the Landcruiser V8.. in a course containing steep hills, dunes, Moguls etc. .. which one do you think will get out of the mess?? The Trail rated Commander?
Toyotas combine performance with comfort.
Jeeps- well the wrangler has the off road performance, i will admit but they lack comfort and once back on road.. well you should know better.
