Is the Prado the same as the Land Cruiser Prado?
1 Answers
Prado is the same as Land Cruiser Prado. Here are the relevant details about the Prado: 1. The name 'Prado' originated from the Chinese transliteration of Toyota PRADO when it was first imported into China. Now that it is exported worldwide, the name has been standardized to the English version, PRADO. 2. Toyota initially gave its cars in China names that were close to Chinese, but due to globalization, they have now adopted direct English translations. For example, Lexus was previously known as Lingzhi, Corolla as Huaguan, Prado as Badao, Camry as Jiamei, and Land Cruiser as Lude Xunyangjian. 3. Toyota Badao and Prado are the same vehicle. TOYOTA made this decision to reshape the brand image of its famous cars and better integrate into the Chinese market, as well as to eliminate the negative impact of the previous 'Badao' advertisement that offended the national sentiments of the Chinese people.
