1 Answers
In terms of the front fascia, the Middle East version features an additional chrome bumper bar as a distinctive design element, while the China version lacks this chrome bumper bar. The Middle East version comes with roof rails, body decals, and side door chrome strips, whereas the China version only includes roof rails in higher trims. The China version is configured as a 5-seater, with the luxury variant offering 7 seats, while the Middle East version is exclusively 7-seater across all trims. The Middle East version employs full-time four-wheel drive, whereas the China version uses part-time four-wheel drive. Below are relevant details: 1. Models: Parallel-imported Prados are all Middle East versions, available in three models: Prado 2700, Prado 4000, and the diesel Prado 3000. In contrast, the China version of the Prado discontinued the 2.7L model after the 2018 facelift, retaining only the 3.5L variant. 2. Colors: The Middle East version of the Prado offers a wide range of exterior colors, with ten options available. However, most vehicles in the domestic market are white, which aligns with mainstream aesthetics. The China version of the Prado comes in six color options.
