The new Toyota Prado is due to arrive locally by mid-year

A new trailblazing, off-road-focused Altitude model could be the star of the new Toyota Prado range when it goes on-sale in Australia mid this year.
Toyota has confirmed a five-strong model line-up for its much-anticipated new Prado, an all-new model on a brand new platform.

Joining the familiar GX, GXL, VX and flagship Kakadu grades, the Altitude bolsters the Prado’s already impressive off-road ability with a locking rear differential and disconnecting anti-roll bars, as well as standard Toyo Open Country all-terrain tyres.

Toyota Prado Altitudes will be identifiable by their unique, matte grey 18.0-inch alloy wheels and model-exclusive Tanami Taupe and Ningaloo Blue paintwork, which can both be optioned with a white roof. The Altitude model also gets black door handles and tailgate trim, black wheel arches and a moon-roof.

It’s not the first time the Altitude nameplate has been used in the Prado range, the badge first appearing in 2012 and continuing on-and-off since.

Elsewhere in the new Prado range, the base, five-seat GX opens with manual cloth seats, 18.0-inch wheels, a 7.0-inch digital instrument display and manual tailgate. The GXL adds a powered tailgate and seven seats, an electrically adjustable driver’s seat, nicer vinyl interior trim, and heated and cooled front seats. The GXL offers a wireless phone charger.

The VX adds 20.0-inch wheels, LED headlights, leather-accented seats and power adjustment for the steering column and front passenger seat. It also gets a larger, 12.3-inch full digital instrument cluster and better 14-speaker JBL stereo.

It’s here in the new 2024 Prado line-up that the Altitude slots in – adding to the tougher exterior styling and extra off-road kit, a digital rear-view mirror, heated steering wheel and head-up display.

The range-topping Kakadu gets every Prado bell-and-whistle including a panoramic moon-roof, illuminated side steps and heated and cooled rear seats.

All new Prados are powered by the same 2.8-litre turbo-diesel inline-four producing 150kW and 500Nm, paired with a 48-volt “mild hybrid” system claiming to reduce fuel consumption, although no figures have yet been released. An eight-speed torque converter automatic transmission is standard.

Across the range there’s standard full-time four-wheel-drive, a lockable centre differential and low-range, as well as 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity.
Inside, all models get a 12.3-inch central touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Toyota’s latest advanced safety features are standard across the board, such as autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring and nine airbags.

Toyota said pricing will be confirmed closer to the new Prado’s mid-year release date, but expect a premium over the current Prado range which starts with the $62,830 VX up to the $87,486 Kakadu – before on-road costs.
