The 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, a name synonymous with rugged durability and off-road prowess, is making waves in the automotive industry. After a brief hiatus, the legendary Land Cruiser nameplate has returned to the U.S., bringing with it a host of premium features and an accessible price point.

 

The 2024 model, also known as the 250 series, has been completely reimagined and redesigned. It now exclusively features a powerful turbocharged i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain, producing an impressive 326 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. This potent combination of performance and efficiency is mated to a full-time four-wheel drive system, ensuring the Land Cruiser’s legendary off-road capability remains intact.

 

One of the standout features of the 2024 Land Cruiser is its go-anywhere capability. Engineers have embraced this legacy by including center and rear-locking differentials as standard for all grades. This feature can help split the power 50/50 to the rear wheels for improved traction and reduced wheel spin on rough terrain.

 

The 2024 Land Cruiser Prado is expected to hit dealer showrooms in Spring 2024, with a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Pricing (MSRP) of $55,950. This represents a significant shift in market positioning for the venerated nameplate, making it more accessible to a wider range of consumers.

 

In conclusion, the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado represents a significant evolution of a legendary vehicle. With its potent hybrid powertrain, full-time four-wheel drive, and off-road capabilities, it promises to be a worthy successor to the Land Cruiser name. But what do you think?
