Toyota Prado 2700 is equipped with a 2.7-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. Here are some details about the Toyota Prado 2700: 1. Power: The maximum horsepower of this engine is 163 hp, with a maximum power output of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 246 N·m. 2. Engine: It features a DOHC valve train and VVT-i technology, which contribute to better fuel economy. The engine has a compression ratio of 10.2, so it generally runs on 92-octane gasoline.
I just bought a used Prado with a 4-cylinder engine, and after driving it for half a year, it feels quite stable. The Prado series doesn't have a fixed number of cylinders—it depends on the year and model you choose. Most models offer both 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder options. For example, the 2.7L engine is usually an inline 4-cylinder, which provides enough power for daily use, especially for city commuting with good fuel efficiency. My model has a combined fuel consumption of around 9L. If you opt for the 4.0L V6 6-cylinder version, the power is more robust, making it great for off-roading and climbing hills, but the fuel consumption jumps to 12-13L, meaning higher fuel costs. Honestly, the best choice depends on your needs: if you mainly use it for commuting, the 4-cylinder is more than enough and has lower maintenance costs; if you love mountain drives or camping, the 6-cylinder is a safer bet. Don’t just take others’ word for it—test drive to feel how the number of cylinders affects acceleration smoothness, so you won’t regret your decision later.
