Japanese automaker Toyota has unveiled the 2014 Land Cruiser Prado sport utility vehicle (SUV) with improved front end, upgraded cabin and a new safety feature.
The upgraded SUV will be offered with two powertrain options including a 4.0L V6 gasoline engine that generates an output power of 202kW and 381Nm of torque, and a 3.0L four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine producing an output power of 127kW and 410Nm of torque.
According to the carmaker, both engines can either be mated to a six-speed manual transmission or five-speed automatic transmissions.
The five-door SUV incorporates upgraded safety features such as rear cross traffic alert system, emergency brake signal and trailer sway control, which reduces the impact of wind and bumpy roads on a trailer while being towed.
Other driving upgrades include improved standard suspension and kinetic dynamic suspension system packages that enhance both stability and ride comfort.
Toyota is planning to debut the upgraded Prado version in Australia in October 2013.
