What I love most about driving my Prado are its comfort features. The seats are made of genuine leather with heating and ventilation functions, keeping my backside warm in winter and cool in summer without sweating. Both front and rear rows have independent air conditioning, and the rear passengers can even adjust the temperature themselves, making kids and elderly family members happy during trips. The large central touchscreen is spacious enough for CarPlay navigation and music, with steering wheel buttons for skipping tracks and adjusting volume. There are plenty of storage compartments—door panels and center console can hold phones and snacks, while rear cargo hooks keep shopping bags from swaying. The heads-up display is a lifesaver, allowing me to check driving info without looking down at the dashboard, especially on long drives. If it’s the newer model, wireless charging and ambient lighting are also quite handy.

As someone who frequently ventures off-road, what impresses me most about the Prado's interior is its rugged practicality. The dashboard buttons are large and sturdy, operable even with gloves on—unlike touchscreens that often lead to accidental presses. The fabric seats outlast leather in scratch resistance, and mud wipes right off. The air vents blast directly onto the windshield for rapid defogging in winter. The instrument cluster displays altitude and gradient, offering peace of mind during off-roading. A 12V power outlet in the cargo area powers a car fridge for ice-cold beers—absolute bliss when camping. Door storage bins are deep enough to stash a first-aid kit. These details embody the true spirit of a hardcore SUV.

The Land Cruiser Prado has a well-equipped interior. I commute with it daily, and the multi-function steering wheel is what I use most often – answering calls and adjusting cruise control without distraction. The automatic air conditioning maintains the set temperature effortlessly, and there are rear air vents too. The infotainment screen supports smartphone projection, perfect for listening to podcasts during traffic jams. The adjustable lumbar support in the seats makes three-hour drives fatigue-free. Both front and rear rows have USB ports for convenient charging. The new model even adds blind-spot monitoring – when the mirror lights up, you know there's a vehicle nearby, which feels very reassuring. The cargo area has a flat floor, making it easy to load large luggage.
