In 1990, Toyota made the decision to split off the smaller “Light Duty” variation of the already popular Land Cruiser and create a new model. Thus, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado entered the market. In order to better suit the needs of a larger audience, this sport utility vehicle was offered in either a 3 door or a 5 door configuration, with the latter providing seating for up to 8 with the addition of the third row.
Though a highly capable all-wheel drive, off-road vehicle, the Land Cruiser Prado was marketed as a daily driver for on-road use. It was originally powered by only an Inline 4-cylinder diesel engine, but the second generation brought with it the choice of a gasoline powered I4 or V6 engine in the year 1996. Other updates included improved handling, updated design on the dashboard, and changes to suspension, brakes, and trim.
As of 2023, the Prado remained a popular choice among sport utility buyers around the world, albeit under different names than that which it was originally marketed as.
