The prado is available with a choice of gasoline or diesel engines, ensuring thee is one to suit your lifestyle. Strong smooth power is generated by the top-of-the-line 1GR-FE, a 4.0-litre V6 gasoline engine with VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing - intelligent) Which optimizes the intake valve timing to deliver increased torque and output, better fuel economy and reduced emissions.

The geometry of both the double wishbone independent front suspension and 4-link type rear suspension were optimized for excellent stability, control, and ride comfort on and off the road, and excellent drive through performance on rough roads. Additional refinements include optimized coil spring absorbers and compliance, and a long wheel stroke.

TEMS ( Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension ) closely controls the damping force of the shock absorbers to provide a stable body position and smooth ride comfort. An auto-leveling function on the electronically-controlled rear air suspension keeps the vehicle height constant for stable driving even as passenger numbers and load change. Optional).
