Toyota Prado has a height of 1890mm. Below are relevant details about the Prado: Configuration: It retains all the features of the current TX-L standard version, including a 7-seat layout, tire pressure monitoring, parking radar, cruise control, a 4.2-inch instrument panel LCD display, 8-way power adjustment for the driver's seat and 4-way for the front passenger seat, front seat ventilation/heating, a car refrigerator, three-zone automatic air conditioning, and an 8-inch multimedia display. Powertrain: It is equipped with a 7GR-FKS 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 engine, delivering a maximum power of 205kW and peak torque of 365N·m. It also features dual injection technology and an automatic start-stop function. The transmission system is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and a new part-time four-wheel-drive system.
As a seasoned driver who frequently travels the 318 route, I can recite the height of the Land Cruiser Prado (aka 'Bado') with my eyes closed. The 2024 model currently on the market stands nearly 1.9 meters tall, specifically 1890mm—taller than most shopping mall underground parking height barriers. The key factor is its ground clearance: 215mm at the lowest point when unloaded, which means there's still room even if you place an iPhone vertically—this is the foundation of its off-road capability. If you load up the roof rack with gear, you'll need to pay extra attention to height restriction signs when passing through mountain tunnels. Last time I drove the older model to Tibet with a tent strapped to the roof, the total height approached 2.1 meters, and my palms were sweating when passing under height-limited structures.
Off-road enthusiasts know it well - the factory Prado's height specs are just for reference. Real players always modify. I often help fellow off-roaders adjust suspensions. The stock ground clearance is 21.5cm, but with nitrogen shocks it easily reaches 25cm. With 35-inch tires, the whole vehicle can exceed 2 meters in height. Just remember to revert for annual inspections - last time my friend scraped his roof box on a 1.9m parking garage barrier after modifications. There are differences between versions too: the TX model sits 15mm lower than VX, and models with KDSS suspension automatically lift 3cm during axle articulation - these details separate the pros from amateurs.
