The updated 2021 Toyota LandCruiser Prado has been revealed with more power and more features, but buyers will also have to pay more.
Prices for the full-size 4WD begin at $59,840 plus on-road costs for the Prado GX – $5750 more than the outgoing model.
However, the six-speed torque-converter automatic transmission is now standard across the Prado range, whereas buyers would have had to have forked out an extra $3000 for an auto on the previous model.
Toyota Australia has issued a recall for 2714 vehicles across the 2019 model-year LandCruiser Prado, HiAce and HiAce Commuter model lines, over concerns of a fuel leak.
The Japanese manufacturer reports a production fault may cause the fuel inlet pipe that connects the diesel fuel injector common rail may not be secured with a "lower than specified tightening torque", which "may allow fuel leakage".
