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.
Looks like they just did a LC to the prado….i.e almost the same, just a little changes here and there….Though I really feel this is a just a photoshop where some person has pasted LC bits onto a prado…especially when I look at the rear light…
Btw if I do a search ’2010 Prado’, Drive Arabia is the second link…nice!!!!:cool:
The picture shows the shape of the new lexus rx350 with the appearance of the landcruiser.
I Love it. It better be this way !!
Mash the current 4cyl is a 2.7ltr isnt it..
Yeah, you’re right. typo.
finally good looking pra
do
finally good looking prado
hardly much changes i feel. though the 4.0 litre wud be an absolute delight& the 2.7 wud be a slow tortoise. Expect the prices to be as high as gold.
although i am great fan of the prado it has some flaws…
1)the seats r not that comfortable or supportive. it become an issue on long journeys
2) ride though much better than a pajero or nissan pathfinder could have been improved considering the “premuim” customers pay.
the new designed seems sticking to the tried and tested formula, it is more muscular and better defined but a conservative one which is great which is what family buyers look into
good
…. but little bit similar to previous year model…. !!!! …but i still love it 
not sure whether this is real or just the current version digitally amended..
also not sure whether i like the design (looks too much like the old one).
but then again, also the all new 08 LC had to grown on me for the first 6 months..
will be a quality SUV, that is pretty much given.
any idea about UAE pricings???
cheers,
the german bloke
if this is real then i would go for 1
just wish that toyota would pull out there finger asap

some spy shoots of the new prado
THAT’S UGLY!!!!
These are not photo-shopped pictures. Before the leak of these spy pictures, a Japanese magazine released this:

which looks similar to the real pictures on top.
Spoke to one of the sales execs here at AlFuttaim- Toyota and I was told that the 2010 model could come as soon as this coming Sept.-Oct.
Wow looks different than before,i hope they’ll bring in a CRDI D4D engine in it.
Stupid Ugly Bug
, the previous one was looking great

good stuff, dude
I think Toyota is trying to make a design the people going to recongize it as a Toyota example like the BMW if you took away it logo you would know it a BMW.
This is a type of marketing thingy. Some product are even design to be recognize it when it is broken into pieces.
If Toyota is trying that, they are not doing a very good job. No other Toyota has that vertical grille.
Hey Mash,
Any idea if these latest pics have been taken from the GCC? The side graphics usually appear on Omani Toyotas.
I think they’ve messed up the rear lights but then again it may be a case of getting used to in time. The front lights remind me of the Lexus LX570… Nice
I think you are right about these being in Oman. I just know these are in the GCC.
I hear it was taken in Qatar
I love itt… nice atleast better than Honda pilot
@ Mash & CB:
It really could be pictures taken from Qatar or Saudia. If you look closely at the second last picture behind the white prado, theres a landcruiser parked whose no. plate (blurd view)looks similar to that of ones from Qatar or Saudia.
The front is looking promising but the back is like a Rav4….with bigger lights. The rear bumper looks really small…weird!!!
This pic. could suggest that a large stock of the new Prados has already arrived at someone’s yard:

Also notice the rear view camera in the stepney similar to that we have in the 2009 FJ cruiser.
Can some1 tell me, why there are some prados with wheels on the tailgate and some are not? though they are all VX. Asked a sales guy in toyota, but he was puzzled too. I hope it wasnt his first day at the toyota.
The LC in the back ground has got a qatari plates.
The Prado VX is the 4.0L V6 version and has different variations and the one that has only single fuel tank is the one which has the spare tire mounted below the frame. This is the upper grades of Prado, especially those who dont prefer to take it off road but want more high tech features. I guess this may not be the case with the new Prado, since in LC200, they have combined the two fuel tank into one and can still have frame mounted spare wheel and door mounted too.
To me the older one looks better, but bein a Toyota even this Chinese Design should sell..
@ Sting316:
The Prado with the wheel at the tailgate has an option of having an additional fuel tank (Total tank capacity of upto 180 litres). Some do need this additional capacity and would prefer to have the wheel stowed away neatly underneath the vehicle (as is the case with most of the new 4×4 vehicles in the market). Standard fuel tank capacity of the Prado is some 90 litres approx.
Correction:
…litres). Some do NOT need this additional….
It looks good.I”m sure its going to be hot when it comes out! oh i cant wait!
Confirmed!! The pics were taken in Qatar.
