Toyota Australia today revealed a pre-production five-door LandCruiser Prado, the fourth version of Australia's most popular medium SUV for the past ten years.

Toyota Australia unveiled the vehicle in tandem with the vehicle's debut in Japan and Frankfurt.

It will feature new styling, improved performance and a raft of driver-assist technologies.

Prado's four-litre V6 petrol engine adopts dual VVT-i, with power increased by more than 10 per cent, as well as improvements in torque, fuel economy and emissions.

Prado will have new technologies available across the range to enhance the driving experience for both practised and novice off-roaders.

Toyota Australia's senior executive director sales and marketing, David Buttner says fourth-generation Prado continues LandCruiser's reputation for being robust and virtually indestructible.

"More than 150,000 LandCruiser Prados are expected to be on the road by the end of the year.

"Prado's success can be attributed to its blend of impressive off-road capabilities, inherent in its LandCruiser DNA, with everyday utility and comfort.

"LandCruiser Prado has continuously evolved to satisfy diverse customer needs - and fourth-generation Prado will accelerate that trend.

"It has a pedigree stretching back more than 50 years and is fundamental to Toyota's reputation of quality, durability and reliability," said Mr Buttner.

More than 90 per cent of customers use Prado for weekly on-road driving.

Toyota is increasingly bridging the gap between a capable off-roader and a passenger car.
