Prado GXR refers to: GX represents the standard configuration, and R represents the enhanced version. The Prado is a mid-to-large-sized SUV under FAW Toyota, also known as the Land Cruiser Prado. Taking the 2019 Prado Automatic Premium Edition with Rear-mounted Spare Tire as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5010 mm, width 1885 mm, height 1890 mm, wheelbase 2790 mm, and fuel tank capacity 87 liters. The 2019 Prado Automatic Premium Edition with Rear-mounted Spare Tire is equipped with a 3.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 206 kW and a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've driven the Toyota Prado GXR and found it to be the mid-to-high-end version of the Toyota Prado series, mainly enhancing power and comfort. The GXR usually comes with a 3.5L V6 engine, offering ample horsepower, quick acceleration, and no sluggishness when overtaking, making it suitable for both city traffic and long highway drives. Compared to the base model, it adds features like a sunroof, leather seats, and a premium sound system. The steering wheel has a good grip, and long drives don't cause back pain. Its off-road capability is also decent, equipped with a four-wheel-drive system and high ground clearance, handling steep climbs or slippery rainy roads with ease. Fuel consumption is moderate, around 12L per 100km in the city, with a full tank covering over 600km. Toyota's durability is a selling point—my GXR has only needed tire and oil changes in three years, with low maintenance costs. Overall, the GXR is a comprehensive upgrade to the Prado, ideal for those seeking performance and practicality, especially for adventurous drivers like me, offering great value. It holds its value well, retaining about 70% of its price when resold. In short, it perfectly combines brand reliability with everyday driving enjoyment.
