The Toyota Prado 2025 new model reimagines one of best 4WD SUV experiences we’ve had in Australia, but is that a good thing? In his 2025 Toyota Prado 250 series review, tech vlogger Chris Stead gives you his performance test results of this 7 seater diesel off road 4WD, and analyses the interior features, infotainment unit ease-of-use and the exterior design decisions. Is the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 250 series any good?
This is technically a Toyota Prado Kakadu 2025 review, but the pros and cons can be attributed across the range, which includes the GX, GXL, VX and Altitude. It’s got a mild-hybrid engine, but is effectively an ICE 4WD.
In this video you’ll see the engine, boot, roof rack, speakers, acceleration, fuel consumption, luxury trim, a Toyota Prado 250 POV test drive and more.
