2023 Toyota Landcruiser Prado

The ultimate Prado for Sunshine Coast families, caravaners and long-distance tourers who want genuine LandCruiser toughness combined with seven-seat versatility, advanced off-road technology and the premium appointments of the flagship Kakadu.

The Prado Kakadus 2.8L four-cylinder turbo-diesel produces a strong 150kW and 500Nm. Matched to a smooth 6-speed automatic, it delivers effortless pulling power for overtaking, climbing Hinterland roads and travelling fully loaded, while combined fuel consumption as low as 7.9L/100km keeps long-distance touring impressively efficient.

Hook up and head away with confidence thanks to a maximum 3,000kg braked towing capacity. Whether its a caravan for an extended Queensland road trip, the boat for a weekend on the water or a substantial adventure trailer, the Prado has the muscle and stability to make bigger Sunshine Coast escapes part of the plan.

The Kakadu is built to keep exploring long after the sealed road ends. Full-time four-wheel drive and dual-range gearing work alongside Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control and advanced traction systems to tackle challenging surfaces. Adaptive Variable Suspension, KDSS and auto-levelling rear air suspension further enhance its ability to remain composed across rough tracks while still delivering an impressively comfortable highway ride.

This is where the Kakadu earns its flagship status. Leather-accented seating, heated and ventilated power front seats, heated outer second-row seats and three-zone climate control create a genuinely premium cabin for all seven occupants. A tilt-and-slide moonroof, refrigerated centre-console cool box, power-folding third-row seats and rear-seat Blu-ray entertainment make long family journeys feel considerably more special.

A 9-inch touchscreen brings satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, while a 14-speaker JBL premium audio system provides an impressive soundtrack for every journey. Toyota Safety Sense includes Pre-Collision Safety, Active Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, Road Sign Assist and Automatic High Beam, complemented by Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and the Panoramic/Multi-Terrain Monitor for greater visibility around the vehicle.
