Yes, sort of, it’s a mild hybrid. It is the first Land Cruiser to feature a 48V Hybrid System matched to a 2.8L diesel engine.
The seven seat Prado will be available in New Zealand in four grades. The Adventure model will be focused on off-roading performance with a rear differential lock, and stabiliser disconnect mechanism, while the VX Limited will be positioned as the more premium grade with adaptive variable suspension.
Prado GXL – $83,990
Prado VX – $93,990
Prado VX Limited – $105,990
Prado Adventure – $103,990 or with the optional Two-tone Paint Package – $104,990
Toyota will have 13 products on display at Fieldays, with new lower emission models like the mild hybrid Hilux. Toyota NZ says it has ‘something for everyone this year’ and that its SUV range is now largely available in hybrid electric powertrains. Alongside the new Prado will be the refreshed Land Cruiser 70, Land Cruiser 300, RAV4 Adventure, and Corolla Cross.
The Toyota Fieldays site will be powered by hydrogen. In partnership with a European technology company, Toyota developed a hydrogen-powered generator using a fuel cell similar to the power unit inside the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai car. The EODev GEH2 will be inside the tent providing power to the stand while only emitting water.
