Toyota takes the Prado to new heights with the Land Cruiser Prado Altitude

Toyota has scaled new heights of value, convenience and on-road appeal with the announcement of a Land Cruiser Prado Altitude special edition model. Toyota's makeover is instantly recognisable because the Prado Altitude, unlike regular Prado models, carries the spare tyre underneath the vehicle rather than on the tailgate. The convenience of the clean rear design is further enhanced by a glass hatch that opens independently of the tailgate to provide access to the spacious luggage area.

The Prado Altitude is also distinguished by stylish new 18-inch alloy wheels, a tilt-and-slide moonroof, auto-levelling LED headlamps and chrome side mouldings. Inside, the special edition Prado focuses on even higher levels of comfort, convenience and entertainment, including the addition of black leather-accented upholstery. Equipped with the impressive traction of constant four-wheel drive, the Prado Altitude is powered by a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine generating 450Nm of torque from 1,600rpm to 2,400rpm.

The Prado Altitude retains upmarket GXL features, including a reverse camera, satellite navigation viewed on a 7.0-inch display screen, cruise control, three-zone climate-controlled air-conditioning, rear parking sensors, audio controls on the steering wheel and keyless smart entry and ignition. Other standard safety features fitted to every Prado include seven airbags, vehicle stability and traction control, anti-skid brakes, hill-start assist control and downhill assist control.
