True Toyota 7-Seater SUV Coming In India!

In the current scenario, Toyota lacks true SUVs in India. It has some affordable options like Taisor & Hyryder but they are not Toyota products. The only Toyota SUV we have today is the overpriced & outdated Fortuner. Apart from the Fortuner, we have the super expensive LC 300 which commands a waiting period of more than a year! To fill the gap between the Fortuner & the LC 300, Toyota is planning to bring a global product in India!

New Toyota SUV

According to some sources, Toyota is considering launching the Land Cruiser Prado in the Indian market. Last year, the brand launched the Land Cruiser Prado or the LC 250 in the global markets. While it has already expanded the market for LC 250 with other countries. The next possible market for the LC 250 is said to be India and expect the SUV to arrive by the end of 2025! The new Toyota SUV will arrive in India via CBU routes which will make the Prado an expensive product. So after many years, the Prado is set to make a comeback on Indian soil! So what all to expect with the SUV?

What To Expect?

Being the true Toyota SUV, the LC 250 is a massive SUV with an impressive road presence. Also, it is one of the capable off-road SUVs like the LC 300 or even the Toyota Fortuner. On the exterior, the SUV gets muscular bonnet and sleek LED headlamps. Other details include the chunky front bumpers. What will also impress you is the side profile of the Prado. Unlike most of the SUVs with curvy or sloping roofline, Toyota has adopted the old school design language for Prado. It is tall & boxy with chunky wheel arches that fills the huge wheels perfectly. Whereas the rear profile gets a huge windscreen & vertically positioned LED tail lamps.

Talking about the interiors, the Land Cruiser Prado does come with modern technology. It looks luxurious and the dashboard is dominated by a massive touchscreen. Also, Toyota has maintained the button controls for the Prado and not everything has been integrated inside the screen. Overall, there is a nice blend of retro appeal & technology.

For India, Toyota might offer the Prado with the 2.8-litre diesel engine. However, it will be paired with the 48V mild hybrid system which will debut with the upcoming Fortuner. Globally, the brand also has a strong petrol hybrid engine but it is likely to be brought in India. That said, the upcoming Toyota Prado will be an expensive product with an expected price of more than Rs 1 crore (on-road, Mumbai).
