Car Technology
We have spent more than 50 years researching, testing and building 4WDs.
By constantly improving our technologies and introducing smart innovations at every opportunity, we have created a generation of awesomely powerful off-roaders that can deal with the most challenging terrain.
The Toyota Prado is one of the toughest, most advanced 4WDs you could drive. Yet in spite of all the power and grunt off road, it is also an incredibly comfortable and practical road car.
Bursting at the seams with smart technology the Prado offers you the best of both motoring worlds.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-start Assist (automatic models only) is a smart car technology, that help prevents roll back on steep or slippery inclines. If you take your foot off the pedal, it will hold your Prado in position for up to five seconds until you're ready to move on.
When activated, our Downhill Assist Control automatically controls braking to each wheel of the Prado, increasing control and ensuring you can take the descent at an even, controlled speed (automatic models only).
In-Car Bluetooth™##
Keyless Entry
If you have your keys in your pocket or bag, our Smart Entry and Start system 'knows' when you are approaching the car and unlocks itself when you grasp the front door handle.
The VX, Kakadu and ZR models come with an 8 sensor system that provides a visual and audible warning when the vehicle approaches close to objects to the front or rear. The GXL and SX models have a 4 sensor system covering the rear of the vehicle.
Radar cruise control^^^
Radar Cruise Control is standard on the Kakadu and ZR models from October 2011 production. The intelligent system uses millimetre wave radar to detect slower vehicles as you approach and will slow you down, only accelerating back to the pre-set speed once the obstacle has moved.
In-Car Satellite Navigation
In-Car Satellite Navigation systems come as standard in the Prado ZR, VX and Kakadu models++.
Awesome Audio System
With a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 17 speakers (depending on the model, standard from October 2011 production), the Prado sounds as good as it looks. There's breathtaking audio quality from CD, radio, or selected MP3 devices^.
