The Prado is a representative model of Toyota's off-road vehicles, also known as the Land Cruiser Prado. The dimensions of the 2019 Prado 3.5L Automatic TXL Premium Edition are 4840/1885/1890mm (length/width/height), with a wheelbase of 2790mm. It belongs to the latest version of the Land Cruiser series. It is both an SUV and an off-road vehicle, featuring excellent power performance and fast acceleration, but it is relatively fuel-consuming. The exhaust standards comply with national regulations, making it an environmentally friendly vehicle. In terms of configuration: In addition to the newly added features, the 2019 Prado retains all the configurations of the current TXL standard version, including a 7-seat layout, tire pressure monitoring, parking radar, cruise control, a 4.2-inch instrument panel LCD display, 8-way electric adjustment for the driver's seat, 4-way electric adjustment for the front passenger seat, front seat ventilation and heating, 50/50 split folding for the third-row seats, electric folding and flattening, an onboard refrigerator, three-zone automatic air conditioning, and an 8-inch multimedia display. In terms of power: The 2019 Prado continues to be equipped with the 7GR-FKS 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 engine, with a maximum power output of 205kW and a peak torque of 365Nm. 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 an experienced driver who has been driving a Prado for several years, I find the car's dimensions quite substantial: approximately 4840mm in length, 1885mm in width, and 1880mm in height. Driving it daily feels bulky, and parking can be tight, especially since many mall garages have a height limit of 1.9 meters, requiring extra attention to the roof. On the highway, it's stable, though the wind resistance is noticeable, leading to slightly higher fuel consumption. However, the spacious interior makes family trips with my wife, kids, and dog very comfortable. The turning radius is around 5 meters, so navigating narrow roads in old neighborhoods requires caution. We specifically chose a house with a large garage to avoid the hassle. Overall, while the size makes parking a challenge, the off-road capability and cargo space are definitely worth praising.
