Toyota unleashed the Land Cruiser Prado in India after much speculation and market research. After some time they finally came to the conclusion that the car is something that the status conscious aristocrats of India sought after. The car developed a cult status soon after its release in India with the wealthy industrialists and the celebrities taking on the car. Thus there has been a significant increase in the SUV segment in India with sales growth soaring over 250% of what it sued to be.
The fact that Toyota has put its trust in making the Prado a petrol fuelled car. This is because the petrol powered monster can put quite a strain on your wallet because it gets thirsty quite often. With petrol prices increasing at such a fast pace one wonders if a diesel option would have been more favored by the public. The Land cruiser debuted in 1951 and since then has come a long way. Breaking away slightly from the traditionally boxy look of the Land cruiser the new one is more in line with modern aesthetics. It maintains the high stance and wide body and the huge wheels. The Land Cruiser Prado has an imposing personality and can easily overshadow other SUV’s of the like. It even measures relatively larger than most of its competitors.
The huge size of the exterior means more space in the interior. Once you step in then only will you realize how well the interior of this SUV has been designed. The inside screams out class and sets you up in a comfortable and luxurious environment. As is the case with most seven seat SUV’s the last deck of seats is mounted too close to the floor for seating any adult. It also features separate seats even in the back rather than a bench and each of them can be folded to provide for storage space. With a host of other safety features the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is a very engaging SUV which nobody would like to get out of.
