Is the Prado naturally aspirated or turbocharged?

[Landon]

The Prado is turbocharged. Principle of turbocharging: A turbocharged engine is a type of engine that relies on a turbocharger to increase the intake air volume. The turbocharger (Turbo) is essentially an air compressor. It uses the exhaust gases from the engine as power to drive the turbine in the turbine chamber (located in the exhaust passage). The turbine, in turn, drives the coaxial impeller (located in the intake passage), which compresses the fresh air delivered by the air filter pipeline and then sends it into the cylinders. As the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas discharge speed and turbine speed also increase synchronously, thereby enhancing the air compression level. This results in a corresponding increase in the engine's intake air volume, which in turn boosts the engine's output power. Function of turbocharging: The primary function of turbocharging is to increase the engine's intake air volume, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, making the vehicle more powerful.
