69-702: The company has copied the looks of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado inside and at the front end, the BMW X5 (E53) at the rear end, and the BMW X3 at the sides. The Shuanghuan SCEO's codename is known as the HBJ6474Y. The SCEO was launched in China in 2005, which was sold at 123800-159800 yuan. The SCEO was exported to more than 30 countries, according to a company report in 2006. The SCEO's design

138-403: A continuous flow of electrolyte. Flow cells typically have the fuel dissolved in the electrolyte. Power-to-weight ratios for vehicles are usually calculated using curb weight (for cars) or wet weight (for motorcycles), that is, excluding weight of the driver and any cargo. This could be slightly misleading, especially with regard to motorcycles, where the driver might weigh 1/3 to 1/2 as much as

207-680: A court case in Germany brought by BMW, the car was banned from sale in Germany. It was sold in Italy and central Europe, following BMW losing its court case in Italy. The SCEO is powered by a choice of two 4-cylinder gasoline engines and a diesel option: a 2.0-litre producing 82 kW (111 PS; 110 bhp) and a 2.4-litre producing 100 kW (136 PS; 134 bhp). A 2.5-litre diesel option provides 75 kW (102 PS; 101 bhp). The engines are sourced from Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi Motors Engine Manufacturing Corporation. The SCEO

276-406: A cutoff voltage are typically specified for a battery by its manufacturer. The output voltage falls to the cutoff voltage when the battery becomes "discharged". The nominal output voltage is always less than the open-circuit voltage produced when the battery is "charged". The temperature of a battery can affect the power it can deliver, where lower temperatures reduce power. Total energy delivered from

345-467: A fluid, or storage in a pressure vessel . A variety of effects can be harnessed to produce thermoelectricity , thermionic emission , pyroelectricity and piezoelectricity . Electrical resistance and ferromagnetism of materials can be harnessed to generate thermoacoustic energy from an electric current. All electrochemical cell batteries deliver a changing voltage as their chemistry changes from "charged" to "discharged". A nominal output voltage and

414-632: A front beam axle, while the J90, J120, J150 and J250 platforms have front independent suspension . As of 2023, the Prado is available in every Toyota market except in Mexico, South Korea and some Southeast Asian and South American markets (where the Hilux -based Fortuner/SW4 is offered instead). Many markets that did not receive the Prado instead substituted its market segment with the 4Runner , which shared many of

483-563: A higher discharge current – and therefore higher power-to-weight ratio – but only with a lower energy capacity. Power-to-weight ratio for batteries is therefore less meaningful without reference to corresponding energy-to-weight ratio and cell temperature. This relationship is known as Peukert's law . Capacitors store electric charge onto two electrodes separated by an electric field semi-insulating ( dielectric ) medium. Electrostatic capacitors feature planar electrodes onto which electric charge accumulates. Electrolytic capacitors use

552-406: A liquid electrolyte as one of the electrodes and the electric double layer effect upon the surface of the dielectric-electrolyte boundary to increase the amount of charge stored per unit volume. Electric double-layer capacitors extend both electrodes with a nanoporous material such as activated carbon to significantly increase the surface area upon which electric charge can accumulate, reducing

621-446: A misnomer, as it colloquially refers to mass. In a zero-gravity (weightless) environment, the power-to-weight ratio would not be considered infinite. A typical turbocharged V8 diesel engine might have an engine power of 250 kW (340 hp) and a mass of 380 kg (840 lb), giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 0.65 kW/kg (0.40 hp/lb). Examples of high power-to-weight ratios can often be found in turbines. This

690-647: A period of time is equal to the difference in its total energy over that period of time, so the rate at which work is done is equal to the rate of change of the kinetic energy (in the absence of potential energy changes). The work done from time t to time t + Δ t along the path C is defined as the line integral ∫ C F ⋅ d x = ∫ t t + Δ t F ⋅ v ( t ) d t {\displaystyle \int _{C}\mathbf {F} \cdot d\mathbf {x} =\int _{t}^{t+\Delta t}\mathbf {F} \cdot \mathbf {v} (t)dt} , so

759-507: A plastic top, and barn doors at the rear. There were four options for the engine, the 2.4 L (2,366 cc) 22R (carbureted) and 22R-E (EFI) petrol engines and the 2.4 L (2,446 cc) 2L and 2L-T diesel and turbocharged diesel engines. The transmission for the petrol engines is the G52 type while the diesels used the R150 and R151 types. These were the same engines and transmissions used in

828-628: A power-to-weight ratio of 153 kW/kg (93 hp/lb). In classical mechanics , instantaneous power is the limiting value of the average work done per unit time as the time interval Δ t approaches zero (i.e. the derivative with respect to time of the work done). The typically used metric unit of the power-to-weight ratio is W kg {\displaystyle {\tfrac {\text{W}}{\text{kg}}}\;} which equals m 2 s 3 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {{\text{m}}^{2}}{{\text{s}}^{3}}}\;} . This fact allows one to express

897-591: A retro-inspired, boxy exterior styling inspired by the J60 model from the 1980s. The vehicle is based on the body-on-frame GA-F platform shared with the larger J300 series Land Cruiser . It is claimed to have a 50 per cent increase in frame rigidity, and a 30 per cent increase in overall rigidity. The model is also the first "Light Duty Series" Land Cruiser to use an electric power steering (EPS) system, which promises easier steering wheel handling during off-road conditions, improving maneuverability at low speed, and allows

966-559: A seven-inch sat-nav as standard. In August 2014, a new tailgate without the spare tyre became available as an option for the first time in Australia. In June 2015, the venerable KD 3.0-litre turbo-diesel 4 cylinder which had been available in various markets from 2000, was replaced by the 2.8-litre GD turbo-diesel 4 cylinder. This engine provided better emission standards while increasing power and torque to 130 kW (174 hp) and 450 N⋅m (332 lbf⋅ft) respectively. Since

1035-463: A single charge cycle is affected by both the battery temperature and the power it delivers. If the temperature lowers or the power demand increases, the total energy delivered at the point of "discharge" is also reduced. Battery discharge profiles are often described in terms of a factor of battery capacity . For example, a battery with a nominal capacity quoted in ampere-hours (Ah) at a C/10 rated discharge current (derived in amperes) may safely provide

1104-401: A speed | v ( t ) | {\displaystyle |\mathbf {v} (t)|\;} and angle ϕ {\displaystyle \phi \;} with respect to the centre and radial of a gravitational field by an onboard powerplant , then the associated kinetic energy is where: The work–energy principle states that the work done to the object over

1173-667: A train. As the coefficient of friction between steel wheels and rails seldom exceeds 0.25 in most cases, improving a locomotive's power-to-weight ratio is often counterproductive. However, the choice of power transmission system, such as variable-frequency drive versus direct-current drive , may support a higher power-to-weight ratio by better managing propulsion power. Most vehicles are designed to meet passenger comfort and cargo carrying requirements. Vehicle designs trade off power-to-weight ratio to increase comfort, cargo space, fuel economy , emissions control , energy security and endurance. Reduced drag and lower rolling resistance in

1242-522: A vehicle design can facilitate increased cargo space without increase in the (zero cargo) power-to-weight ratio. This increases the role flexibility of the vehicle. Energy security considerations can trade off power (typically decreased) and weight (typically increased), and therefore power-to-weight ratio, for fuel flexibility or drive-train hybridisation . Some utility and practical vehicle variants such as hot hatches and sports-utility vehicles reconfigure power (typically increased) and weight to provide

1311-413: Is a calculation commonly applied to aircraft, cars, and vehicles in general, to enable the comparison of one vehicle's performance to another. Power-to-weight ratio is equal to thrust per unit mass multiplied by the velocity of any vehicle. The power-to-weight ratio (specific power) is defined as the power generated by the engine(s) divided by the mass. In this context, the term "weight" can be considered

1380-437: Is also used as a measurement of performance of a vehicle as a whole, with the engine's power output being divided by the weight (or mass ) of the vehicle, to give a metric that is independent of the vehicle's size. Power-to-weight is often quoted by manufacturers at the peak value, but the actual value may vary in use and variations will affect performance. The inverse of power-to-weight, weight-to-power ratio (power loading)

1449-402: Is an important vehicle characteristic that affects the acceleration of sports vehicles. Propeller aircraft depend on high power-to-weight ratios to generate sufficient thrust to achieve sustained flight, and then for speed. Jet aircraft produce thrust directly . Power-to-weight ratio is important in cycling, since it determines acceleration and the speed during hill climbs . Since

1518-527: Is because of their ability to operate at very high speeds. For example, the Space Shuttle 's main engines used turbopumps (machines consisting of a pump driven by a turbine engine) to feed the propellants (liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen ) into the engine's combustion chamber. The original liquid hydrogen turbopump is similar in size to an automobile engine (weighing approximately 352 kilograms (775 lb)) and produces 72,000 hp (54 MW) for

1587-417: Is conversely usually lower. Fuel cells and flow cells , although perhaps using similar chemistry to batteries, do not contain the energy storage medium or fuel . With a continuous flow of fuel and oxidant, available fuel cells and flow cells continue to convert the energy storage medium into electric energy and waste products. Fuel cells distinctly contain a fixed electrolyte whereas flow cells also require

1656-499: Is only delivered if the powerplant is in motion, and is transmitted to cause the body to be in motion. It is typically assumed here that mechanical transmission allows the powerplant to operate at peak output power. This assumption allows engine tuning to trade power band width and engine mass for transmission complexity and mass. Electric motors do not suffer from this tradeoff, instead trading their high torque for traction at low speed. The power advantage or power-to-weight ratio

1725-632: Is standard, which is able to split power 50/50 to the rear wheels for improved traction control on rough terrain. The Land Cruiser Prado is renamed to the Land Cruiser 250 for this generation in Japan. It will be sold alongside the J300 series Land Cruiser and heavy-duty J70 series Land Cruiser that went on sale in late 2023 after years of absence. In North America, the J250 series Land Cruiser replaces

1794-405: Is then where: The useful power of an engine with shaft power output can be calculated using a dynamometer to measure torque and rotational speed , with maximum power reached when torque multiplied by rotational speed is a maximum. For jet engines the useful power is equal to the flight speed of the aircraft multiplied by the force, known as net thrust, required to make it go at that speed. It

1863-455: Is used when calculating propulsive efficiency . Thermal energy is made up from molecular kinetic energy and latent phase energy. Heat engines are able to convert thermal energy in the form of a temperature gradient between a hot source and a cold sink into other desirable mechanical work . Heat pumps take mechanical work to regenerate thermal energy in a temperature gradient. Standard definitions should be used when interpreting how

1932-466: The 4Runner , in cooperation with Hino . In April 1990, a new type, the Prado , was introduced, with a redesigned front grille, front fenders, engine hood, and head lamps. At the same time, names like Land Cruiser and Land Cruiser II were still used in other parts of the world besides Japan. Despite a body-on-frame design making it highly capable off-road, the vehicle was marketed toward on-road use, unlike

2001-452: The 5L-E natural aspirated diesel engine rated at 70 kW (95 PS; 94 hp). In November 2006, Toyota introduced the 1KD-FTV turbocharged diesel D-4D engine to meet Euro IV emission standards. This engine delivers 127 kW (173 PS; 170 hp) of power and 410 N⋅m (302 lbf⋅ft) of torque. The upgrade to the D-4D engine was also matched with transmission upgrades to

2070-637: The J200 series Land Cruiser (which was discontinued in 2021, but replaced in other markets by the J300 Land Cruiser) as the model carrying the Land Cruiser nameplate in North America. Unlike the previous J200 model, the J250 model will be physically smaller and feature a more boxy and utilitarian design, with a lower starting price compared to the J200. While the J200 is a full-size three-row SUV,

2139-474: The fundamental theorem of calculus has that power is given by F ( t ) ⋅ v ( t ) = m a ( t ) ⋅ v ( t ) = τ ( t ) ⋅ ω ( t ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} (t)\cdot \mathbf {v} (t)=m\mathbf {a} (t)\cdot \mathbf {v} (t)=\mathbf {\tau } (t)\cdot \mathbf {\omega } (t)} . where: In propulsion , power

2208-453: The lane tracing assist system to be implemented. The maximum approach and departure angle is 31.0 degrees and 22.0 degrees respectively, while breakover angle reaches 25 degrees. Ground clearance is rated at 221 mm (8.7 in). All models are equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system with a centre locking differential and an electronic two-speed transfer case with high/low range. An electronic locking rear differential

2277-478: The 1KD-FTV 3.0 turbo-diesel with D-4D technology to replace the 1KZ-TE in Japan. The Prado was assembled by Sofasa in Colombia from 1999 until 2009 without significant changes. There were two versions, a 3-door version with a 2.7 L engine and a 5-door version with a 3.4 L V6 engine and either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Between 2005 and 2009 they offered an optional armoured version of

2346-480: The 2.4 L (2,446 cc) 2L-T turbocharged diesel engine was replaced by the electronically injected 2L-TE turbocharged diesel engine. In 1993, the 2L-TE turbocharged diesel engine was replaced by the 3.0 L (2,982 cc) 1KZ -TE turbocharged diesel engine with aluminium cylinder head. The 1KZ-TE was able to reduce NO x and soot. The dashboard was replaced with an updated design with minor changes to suspension, brakes and trim details. In May 1996,

2415-480: The 2.7 L (2,693 cc) straight-4 3RZ-FE , 3.4 L (3,378 cc) V-6 5VZ-FE and 3.0 L (2,982 cc) straight-4 turbocharged diesel 1KZ-TE . In countries like China, a newly developed engine ( 1GR-FE V6) is available. The engine immobilizer became standard equipment in some markets. In August 2004, the 3RZ-FE engine was replaced by the 2.7 L (2,694 cc) 2TR-FE engine and in July of

2484-644: The 2.7-litre engine version (model TRJ152L), introduced in October 2013, got a revised 2TR-FE engine with dual VVT-i, and the four-speed automatic was replaced with the previous six-speed Aisin AC60F ; the 3.5-litre V6 version also got the new transmission. Production ended in June 2020. The J250 series Land Cruiser Prado was revealed on 2 August 2023. It will be marketed as the Land Cruiser 250 in Japan and simply

2553-537: The 3-door series started with an R in the series ranging from RZ, RX, RS to RJ while the 5-door line-up started with T in the series ranging from TZ, TX, TS, to TJ. All models came with front double wishbone and 4 linked suspension as well as full-time 4WD. ABS and a Field Monitor showing an altimeter, a thermometer and pressure were standard in all the models. The field monitor was not available as standard equipment in South Africa. Television display and audio set

2622-594: The 5-door Prado. When the Prado was launched in the UK in 1996, it was called the Land Cruiser Colorado and replaced the 4Runner , which had been discontinued from sale. It was called this to distinguish it from the larger Land Cruiser – renamed as the Land Cruiser Amazon – which was already on sale. The Colorado name tag was dropped in 2003, when it was renamed simply as Land Cruiser. In

2691-573: The August 2020 update, all Prado models are offered with an automatic transmission only. They are also only available with the GD 2.8-litre turbo diesel 4 cylinder engine, albeit with increased power (150 kW, 201 hp) and torque (500 N⋅m, 369 lbf⋅ft). Models are now also available with a 9-inch infotainment screen incorporating Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In the United Kingdom,

2760-527: The J150 Prado is designated as the Land Cruiser LC3, LC4 and LC5 , depending on the equipment levels. In some markets, commercial van variants, based on the short-wheelbase chassis are available. The 4.0-litre 1GR-FE V6 was standard paired to a five-speed automatic gearbox. On 24 September 2015, the fourth generation mid-life facelift received a new 3.5-litre V6, the 7GR-FKS to replace

2829-420: The J250 model is a mid-size SUV with two-row seating for this market. Power-to-weight ratio Power-to-weight ratio ( PWR , also called specific power , or power-to-mass ratio ) is a calculation commonly applied to engines and mobile power sources to enable the comparison of one unit or design to another. Power-to-weight ratio is a measurement of actual performance of any engine or power source. It

2898-650: The J70 series underwent a makeover and emerged as the J90-series Prado, an independent series. The body was lengthened. The design remained medium duty, like the J70. The front suspension was replaced with an independent design, shared with the Tacoma and Hilux Surf , made by Hino . The J90 was made by the Tahara Plant, available as a three-door short wheelbase and five-door long wheelbase version. In Japan,

2967-500: The Land Cruiser in North America and some European countries. Some other markets such as Australia, China, Philippines, and other European countries will retain the Land Cruiser Prado nameplate. The design and engineering direction had shifted compared to the previous generation, now focusing on "practicality, durability and dependability" with the basic approach outlined by previous Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda . It results in

3036-625: The RJ70 and RJ73 (2 doors, 22RE EFI), which are popular in off-roading with a decent power-to-weight ratio and are available in Europe, South America, Africa, and Australia. The underpowered RJ77 (4 doors with the 22R carbureted engine) was only available in some Middle Eastern countries. In Japan, it came with electronic fuel injection and a four speed automatic transmission. The 2.4 L turbocharged diesel engine with 71 kW (97 PS; 95 hp) and 240 N⋅m (177 lbf⋅ft) high torque unit

3105-577: The Republic of Ireland most Land Cruisers were sold as commercial vehicles with the rear side windows and seats removed for tax reasons. Appearing in 2002, the third generation Prado has revised front suspension to improve reliability. Development began in 1997 and design work in 1998, with the proposal originating from Lance Scott of the Toyota ED design studio in France in late 1999. Engines include

3174-458: The SX and ZR. A facelift went on sale in October 2013, with more standard equipment, new front panels and new headlights. Higher specification models received LED headlights and suspension improvements. The three door Prado was dropped at this time due to poor sales. Unlike in Japan, Toyota Australia retained the 4.0L V6 engine until 2017 when the second facelift was launched. All GXL models received

3243-493: The cargo compartment. On the higher end Kakadu and three-door ZR models, there are six camera positions enabling viewing to the front and down, to the side both front and rear, and to the rear. The engine remained the same, although the automatic gear change points were altered for maximum fuel economy rather than maximum performance, even in Sports mode. In June 2015, Toyota improved the petrol engine with dual VVT-i , increasing

3312-473: The dash. By June 1999, minor changes were made. In order to follow new laws, fog-lamps were added to the bumper, except in South Africa. To reduce theft, an engine immobilizer was available. The TX Limited with 8 seats used in the TX base with a roof rail, rear under mirror, wood panel finish, armrest, optitron meter, base cooling as well as rear heater was introduced into this series. In July 2000, Toyota introduced

3381-458: The dielectric medium to nanopores and a very thin high permittivity separator. While capacitors tend not to be as temperature sensitive as batteries, they are significantly capacity constrained and without the strength of chemical bonds suffer from self-discharge. Power-to-weight ratio of capacitors is usually higher than batteries because charge transport units within the cell are smaller (electrons rather than ions), however energy-to-weight ratio

3450-532: The diesel range, with the 5-speed automatic and 6-speed manual transmissions added in line with the petrol powered range. From August 2007 the Prado received several equipment and safety upgrades. The car has won 3 awards for the best performance from an SUV-type vehicle in Australia and the US. The 120-series Land Cruiser Prado shares the same suspension parts as the Hilux Surf/4Runner and FJ Cruiser from

3519-489: The general market is offered in TXL & VXL grades – which are much more option-packed. This generation of Prado features advanced 4WD and an array of electronic gadgets. This generation of the Prado is offered in the US badged as the 2010 model year Lexus GX 460 with luxury trim. Depending on the market, the fourth generation is available with an under-floor mounted or rear door mounted spare wheel. For example, UK vehicles have

3588-476: The main tank, 63 L [13.9 imp gal; 16.6 US gal] in the auxiliary tank) compared to 179 L (39.4 imp gal; 47.3 US gal) of the series three. The removable third-row three-seaters of the J120 were replaced by fold-into-floor seats which seat only two people – which is also responsible for a loss of cargo capacity, the reduction in dual fuel capacity and usable height in

3657-442: The perception of sports car like performance or for other psychological benefit . Increased engine performance is a consideration, but also other features associated with luxury vehicles . Longitudinal engines are common. Bodies vary from hot hatches , sedans (saloons) , coupés , convertibles and roadsters . Mid-range dual-sport and cruiser motorcycles tend to have similar power-to-weight ratios. Power-to-weight ratio

3726-646: The platform. In some markets, it is known simply as the Toyota Prado or the Toyota Land Cruiser . Up until the J150 model, the Prado was not part of the Land Cruiser range in North America; the rebadged Lexus GX occupied the Prado's position in luxury trim. The Prado was then introduced there in 2023 and marketed simply as the "Land Cruiser". The Prado has a ladder frame chassis, two-speed transfer boxes and rear beam axles . The J70 platform has

3795-421: The power output by 5 kW (7 PS; 7 hp) to 207 kW (281 PS; 278 hp) and the torque to 381 N⋅m (281 lb⋅ft). The diesel engine was replaced with the smaller 1GD-FTV. Both engines were upgraded to the 6-speed Aisin AC60F automatic transmission. The second facelift was launched in Japan, Europe, Turkey and Australasia on 12 September 2017. In Japan, the 1GR-FE engine and TZ trim

3864-431: The power-to-weight ratio purely by SI base units . A vehicle's power-to-weight ratio equals its acceleration times its velocity; so at twice the velocity, it experiences half the acceleration, all else being equal. If the work to be done is rectilinear motion of a body with constant mass m {\displaystyle m\;} , whose center of mass is to be accelerated along a (possibly non-straight) line to

3933-414: The previous 4.0-litre V6. While the engine capacity is lower when compared to the 4.0-litre, the power output remains the same at 206 kW (280 PS; 276 hp) and 365 N⋅m (269 lb⋅ft) of torque. It uses less fuel and it is the only country in the world to offer the Prado with 3.5-litre V6 (model GRJ152L) to the consumer alongside the 2.7-litre inline-four petrol (model TRJ152L). Meanwhile,

4002-701: The propulsive power of a jet or rocket engine is transferred to its vehicle. An electric motor uses electrical energy to provide mechanical work , usually through the interaction of a magnetic field and current-carrying conductors . By the interaction of mechanical work on an electrical conductor in a magnetic field, electrical energy can be generated . Fluids (liquid and gas) can be used to transmit and/or store energy using pressure and other fluid properties. Hydraulic (liquid) and pneumatic (gas) engines convert fluid pressure into other desirable mechanical or electrical work . Fluid pumps convert mechanical or electrical work into movement or pressure changes of

4071-559: The same components. The name "Prado" means meadow or field in Spanish and Portuguese. First developed as the light-duty vehicle of the 70 Series in November 1984 and available only in short body layouts with options for soft top or hard top (metal top), names like Land Cruiser II, Land Cruiser, and Bundera were made for these "light duty" Land Cruisers. The Bundera was a short wheelbase—being 2,310 mm (90.9 in)—with two doors,

4140-479: The same year, the 5VZ-FE engine was replaced by the 4.0 L (3,955 cc) V6 1GR-FE engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission available in late 2005. In North America, this model is known as the Lexus GX 470 with the 4.7 L (4,663 cc) V8 2UZ-FE engine . Diesel models have had the 1KZ-TE turbocharged diesel engine with maximum output rating at 96 kW (131 PS; 129 hp) as well as

4209-420: The same years. There is a shorter three-door version of the 120-series, with a 125-code instead of 120. Engines and most features are the same; just the 1KZ-TE was only available in the five-door version. The three-door model features only two seat rows. The fuel tank is limited to 87 L, with no sub-fuel-tank system available. In 2007 on Japanese models only, G-BOOK , a subscription telematics service,

4278-423: The spare wheel mounted under the floor, while in Australia and Argentina the spare wheel is mounted on the rear door, leaving space for an auxiliary fuel tank, which is desirable in countries where long journeys in isolated areas may be required. The fuel capacity of the dual tank series four is 150 L (33.0 imp gal; 39.6 US gal) (87 L [19.1 imp gal; 23.0 US gal] in

4347-516: The vehicle itself. In the sport of competitive cycling athlete's performance is increasingly being expressed in VAMs and thus as a power-to-weight ratio in W/kg. This can be measured through the use of a bicycle powermeter or calculated from measuring incline of a road climb and the rider's time to ascend it. A locomotive generally must be heavy in order to develop enough adhesion on the rails to start

4416-670: Was available from 2009 until June 2015. From June 2015 onward, the following engines and trim levels available are : The monthly sales target for Japan is 1,000 units. The fourth generation Prado was released in Australia on 16 November 2009. Five-door models include the GX, GXL, VX and the high-end Kakadu. The Altitude model, introduced in 2012, is priced between the GXL and VX. The Prado Altitude has satellite navigation, two-way moon roof, leather accented trim and 7" Fujitsu-Ten touch-screen/multimedia center. Three-door shorter wheelbase models include

4485-531: Was available in either automatic or manual transmission. Toyota Land Cruiser Prado The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado ( Japanese : トヨタ・ランドクルーザープラド , Hepburn : Toyota Rando-Kurūzā Purado ) is a full-size four-wheel drive vehicle in the Land Cruiser range produced by the Japanese automaker Toyota as a "light-duty" variation in the range. The Prado may also be referred to as Land Cruiser LC70 , LC90 , LC120 , LC150 and LC250 depending on
